I have an account that has 15 systems.   Several plates have no markings, the 
ink has faded.  There are about 6 or 8 residential  systems that have 
typewritten paper  glued to the pipe. Know what happens when you get antifreeze 
on those pipes?    There are 5 or 6 systems that have  drawings on site, in the 
sprinkler rooms. The rest of the systems, we just guess.  
It is not just the Hydraulic Plates that are missing/incomplete/iilegible. How 
about antifreeze loop shut off valves that are not marked ?  Or is this valve 
is normally open or closed?  Especially when the frozen pipe thaws out and no 
one knows where the shut off valves are, or where the drain valves are.  The 
HVAC and plumbers mark their valves, why don’t sprinkler fitters?



This concludes todays rant.
