I tried to get a hold of one about 2 years ago. I contacted all of the manufacturers and they all said they no longer make them and did not have any old stock remaining.

Does anybody still make an exhauster for Dry Sprinkler systems. We are having issues whit a system installed many years ago. Water delivery is 4-5 minutes to the inspectors test. System starts out in building A as a 6" runs across the building feeding sprinklers in it, Then drops 12 feet to go underground 25 feet to building B and comes back up. This pipe underground is holding water. Open Inspectors test and it is 2 minutes before you start to see the sir gauge at the riser start to drop. We have written it up on inspections for years as too long of a trip time and the AHJ never said anything to our customer so they would get it fixed. NOW the AHJ will not let a remolded store open because the trip time is too long. The AHJ also "insisted" they install a waterflow switch for this space, NOW it had a Vane type switch on the dry pipe. -- Best regards, Charles mailto:[email protected] _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/listinfo.cgi/sprinklerforum-firesprinkler.org _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/listinfo.cgi/sprinklerforum-firesprinkler.org
