It's pretty simple to size and install extension tubes for fire sprinkler escutcheons, which cover exposed extra-long drops or dry sprinkler barrels. And here's a QRFS guide to prove it! https://t.co/p0f2D0C4Ep

Tyco stopped offering CPVC products for fire sprinkler systems, so what should previous buyers do? Never fear, the same variety of CPVC is still available from other manufacturers (and QRFS)! Learn more, including what makes BlazeMaster CPVC different: https://t.co/5o8FN3GxVF

The National Fire Sprinkler Association responds to Maryland no longer requiring retrofits of #firesprinklers in high-rises, calling it "a deeply concerning reversal of nationally recognized life safety standards." https://t.co/mMisGiIf9F

Boulder, CO Fire-Rescue highlights four saves by residential #firesprinklers in its community this year. One conclusion after an apartment fire: "without the sprinklers there would likely not have been a recoverable building on this site."

The 2025 edition of NFPA 13 allows new corrosion-prevention technologies for dry and preaction fire sprinkler systems, including using a vapor corrosion inhibitor (VCI). So how does VCI compare to nitrogen systems? Check out our review: https://t.co/AiXrW9TC9p

NFPA 13 phased out using density/area curves for fire sprinkler system design in the 2022 and 2025 editions. Learn why the committee members moved toward point-based design for #firesprinklers — and why it's not as big of a change as one might think! https://t.co/f3waa67Fgh

Home #firesprinklers can provide reliable #fireprotection for decades while needing very little maintenance. But *little* upkeep doesn't mean *no* upkeep. Learn best practices and potential issues:

A fire that killed five people at a Milwaukee apartment building on May 11 has spurred debate about exemptions for #firesprinklers in high-rises. "Built in 1968, the building was exempt from a state law that requires fire sprinklers." https://t.co/E0I9a6EkBr

Window #firesprinklers are unique, because, unlike other sprinklers, they support *passive* #fireprotection measures instead of actively controlling blazes. Read how and why: https://t.co/05jyCwMdgl

A save by #firesprinklers at a Walmart garden center: "The building's fire sprinkler system contained the fire to a small section of the garden center, and fire crews extinguished the rest, reporting no injuries."

NFPA rules mandate specific wrenches for #firesprinklers, but "universal wrenches" are for sale. What gives? Check out this review of the rules, manufacturer perspectives, and *a* potential use case for universal tools. https://t.co/9QqmtPPrJw

The 2025 edition of NFPA 13 has some good news for designers tackling the challenges of protecting environments with sloped and high ceilings. Read about the latest #firesprinklers rules and options: https://t.co/OyDHKVBHqS

The 2025 edition of NFPA 13 had some significant changes in light of evolving #fireprotection technology and research. Check out part 1 of QRFS's review of major revisions to the #firesprinklers installation standard: https://t.co/zgoXRjFqii

NFPA #fireprotection codes & standards are used in the US & internationally—but not everywhere. Argentina's San Juan Province just signed "a regulatory agreement to reference" NFPA 13, NFPA 20, NFPA 25, and NFPA 72 "in its provincial regulations." https://t.co/N6P3foutId

Fire sprinkler whips, aka flexible sprinkler drops or flexible fittings or hose, provide key benefits, including installation ease and seismic design. However, there are considerations before using them. Learn more! #firesprinklers #fireprotection

Another save by #firesprinklers: "Fire sprinklers ... credited with keeping a kitchen fire from getting out of control in a Duluth apartment building ... the fire was 75 percent contained" before firefighters arrived, and 2 occupants escaped unharmed. https://t.co/n8RA0JH9iO

Why are some #firesprinklers "lead-free" and when are they needed? This blog explores the evolution of lead-free requirements and where they apply (and don't) in these #fireprotection systems.

The National Fire Sprinkler Association discusses the tragic impact of lacking #firesprinklers in a NJ high-rise grandfathered out of having a system—plus possible incentives to spur voluntary #fireprotection retrofits:

Some hazardous environments need specialized components of a #fireprotection system to prevent these parts from *causing* fires (or worse). Check out our latest blog explaining explosion-proof equipment and standards. #firesprinklers https://t.co/l92wNlrXKy
