Let us know. I'm sorry you're going through this with OSHPD, but it kind of makes me feel good that I'm not the only one. They can be pretty tough to work with and stubborn on their interpretations.

Take it as an opportunity to provide education. Good luck. Nick Maneen, SET c 704.791.7789 From: Sprinklerforum [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Rocci 3 Cetani Sent: Tuesday, March 05, 2019 3:11 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: OS&Y "flow rates" So we swapped out a broken OS&Y valve at the hospital and the OSHPD inspector is insisting he wants the "flow rates" ( I assume he means friction loss) from the existing and new OS&Y valve. OS&Y valve cutsheets don't have a friction loss chart because the loss is so minimal. Does anyone have any ideas on how to explain this to an OSHPD inspector, he have already told him this but he is just stuck on wanting to know the "flow rates" Rocci Cetani III, CET Senior Designer Water-Based Fire Protections Systems Layout, Nicet Level III Northern California Fire Protection Services Inc. 16840 Joleen Way Bldg.
