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.

Subject: Exhausters

Hello Sprinklerforum,

  I am sure this topic has been exhausted in the past, but I did not find a 
definitive answer anywhere. 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.
