I like the smell of stagnet water in a fire sprinkler system alot better than doo doo. We will see what happens . And yeah i can hang follow blueprints or run a p8pe machine all day long cuttin, threadin , reamin , makin up fittings .
One time this is like 15 years ago ,the guy that taught me fire sprinklers told me to go pull a head . We were in the Mitsubishi big screen tv clean room . I a. sked 2x did you turn the system off at the PIV ? He said yeah . Is it drained ? yeah . He handed ne a 1/4 turn ball valve with a nipple on one end and said ' you may get some water ,if you do stick this in there and turn the valve .
I was learning . So guess what happened ?
I was on the last 1/2 thread and air started coming out . These drops were like 10 feet so i figured there would be a little water ,but air ? So i tightened the head back up . Asked my boss again and told him about the air . He said just put the new head on fast .
This was in an electronics clean room ,keep in mind , i pulled the head . I was on a little giand ladder about 10' up and stinky air got louder and louder followed by 120 gpm of black stinky water . Knocked me off the ladder and i slipped and my mind scrambled . Panicing pulled a trash can under the torrent .
What do i do run for the PIV ? No i tried to get that valve on there f no way too much water every5hing was slippery . My boss brought a bigg r can and then we shut it off at PIV .
THAT WAS FUN.
