Per Tyco TFP1680 for the LFP Solution, Page 3 of 6 gives the criteria for use 
to up 500 gal capacity.  Now, that is only light hazard.  40 gal for OH and 
Storage.

In a 13 system, there is the extra criteria for the >200 gal up to 500 gallon.  
Maybe the rep was unaware of their data sheet.

I beg to differ. 

I was looking into using the new TYCO A/F on one of my projects, but when I met 
with one of their reps. I was advised that the listing is for system volumes of 
50 US gallons or less.

Best regards,

Larry

Warning! This email came from outside your company.

Interesting stuff with the AF. It is good for up to 500 gal system capacity. 
However, if you are over 200 gallons, you must calculate as a dry system. That 
seems to negate the use of AF over 200 gallon capacity.

Subject: Tyco LFP - antifreeze

Hey Scott and other cold weather practitioners in Fire Protection. Any feed 
back on the "new" Tyco LFP antifreeze. Looks like it may have some use in 
southern MN locations, but with Duluth at annual 99% extreme of -24.9 and 50 
year extreme at -36.6 maybe not such a good idea yet. We plan on sticking with 
the dry systems we have been specifying since the flammability concerns about 
glycol came out unless working south of Minneapolis!

As per Scott we spec nitrogen for dry systems, but it sure seems owners want to 
take the VE from the sprinkler contractors even when we present the long term 
value to them.
