Description
This session will examine the fast-paced evolution of fire sprinkler system design and installation in North America since flexible fittings were first included in NFPA 13 with the 2010 edition. The conversion of hard pipe arm-overs to stainless steel flexible fittings in fewer than 15 years is unprecedented. This session explores the factors influencing this change, including: 1) the need to enhance fire sprinkler system durability and safety, especially in seismic zone areas; 2) the need for products to address a quickly evolving labor force; and 3) enhancements to codes & standards governing sprinkler system design.
