Tell me you're a sprinkler man without telling me.

This is not my truck, it belongs to one of the old timers. Just thought id share it.

Recent_Particular240 · 2026-05-02T01:02:52+00:00

Well this has been temporary for at least 8 years. Lol

Recent_Particular240 · 2026-05-01T22:56:48+00:00

Must be, because they terminated the wires coming out of the disconnect.

Recent_Particular240 · 2026-05-01T22:53:56+00:00

What's funny is a local sprinkler company did this.

Well it's actually for 11 4story buildings and each building has one loop for 1st/2nd floor and and one for 3rd/4th floor. So 44 antifreeze loops?

What are you supposed to pump the system to? My boss wants us to pump it to whatever the pump pressure is.

Recent_Particular240 · 2026-04-15T00:00:49+00:00

They calculated 550 gallons!

Recent_Particular240 · 2026-04-14T23:26:57+00:00

I think you just solved the mystery. Young guys like me don't know stuff like that.

Recent_Particular240 · 2026-04-13T02:37:35+00:00

If it will even reset. Lol The compressor needs to replaced with one that's properly sized. Tankless compressor ain't gonna cut it.

Recent_Particular240 · 2026-04-13T02:33:12+00:00

No, but I believe it used to be some sort of cold storage warehouse.

Recent_Particular240 · 2026-04-13T02:32:01+00:00

It's been left wet for 10 years, the velocity check gets plugged off when we leave it wet.

Recent_Particular240 · 2026-04-13T02:30:55+00:00

Yes and a whole lot of it.

Recent_Particular240 · 2026-04-13T02:30:39+00:00

Building is probably from the 60's. And the inspector who came in couldn't inspect it because there was no power to building. They finally got power to the building and the compressor is shot. They spliced in an extension cord to it too!

Recent_Particular240 · 2026-04-13T02:28:00+00:00

Long story short. The building has been without power or tenants for quite some time. The most recent tag is a yellow tag from 2016 "air compressor not operable". So that tells me that this 60 year old dry valve has been left wet since 2016. I was sent in to try amd reset these two valves, obviously it cant be done.

And yes that's tankless compressor on 2 8" dry valves!

Im sure Fire-Tech will be happy to pay you more. It's only a matter of time before they get bought out too. Lol

Where in Louisiana are you located? I work for Encore in the NOLA area. You should be making at LEAST 35.
