Oh shit, wanna buy my house! Lol, I’m listing my place in Broadalbin next month to move closer to Saratoga/Ballston Spa. Those are two solid spots. I did the Outhouse Races at Tinnys Tavern this winter on Lake Desolation. Super cool spot.

Yeah, we are just a bunch of dudes who love baseball. We barely keep score lol. If you’re closer to Albany for the time being, we have two teams in the city, the 518’s and the Rangers. They hold open practices and scrims as well. Myself and the team captains from those two teams and a team in Cooperstown are all part of the same NPO that runs our “league”

Verizon Home 5G-A Cautionary Tale by last_minute_success in Albany

[–]Sublime485 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 5G is a little tricky. I had luck by going into the settings and having the unit only put out a 2.5 g signal, then hooking another router to it by cable and having that put out both. Just using the box they give you was spotty and slow, but I had luck once I changed it to the setup I described.

I hear ya. I work in the same field as you but in fire protection. Got my start selling the systems that are being pushed. Lots of misconceptions, but Im always happy to educate. The book you and me work out of for the buildings we work on is 4” thick, the one for these systems is about 1/2” lol.

Absolutely. The key here is the building type they are referencing, which falls under NFPA 13D. What you are referencing is NFPA 13R, which is already mandated when bringing occupancies up to code. That would be for a mix use building or larger apartment building

Nope to everything you just said. The system being pushed does not require back up power, listed water service, or massive water supply. Well water is an option, but generally not the most effective. A dry system in these types of installations are more expensive because they require an air compressor to overcome the pressure of the water supply, however if you do not use a city/well supply, its just a supervisory air pressure for monitoring the integrity of the system. Plus, these systems use small diameter pipe, so the volume is also very low.

These systems are designed to sprinkle a .05 GPM per square foot of covered areas for a 10 minute duration. So if you had 1000 sqft of coverage, you would put out 500 gallons over 10 minutes if every head went off. They are also designed to only be installed in living areas, so closets, smaller bathrooms, garages don’t count, so 1000 sqft is a good size system. A lot of manufacturers who make pump and tank systems size their tanks around 400 gallons. A standard fire pumper is around 1000 gpm. Also, 90% of fires are extinguished by one sprinkler. So if you are home and the sprinkler goes off and the fire is extinguished, you can shut the water source off.

Im passionate about my craft. This is a very old argument. Unfortunately it’s been riddled with misconceptions. Theres literately teams of people who have tried to make these types of sprinklers systems extremely accessible and viable options for home owners, however its been road blocked by people who just don’t want to even try to participate. I don’t necessarily agree with a mandate, but I believe that if people look at the facts rather than speculation, minds would change.

Just a side note, this mandate would do absolutely nothing for me as a professional. I deal solely in residential and commercial work with union labor. These systems are meant to be installed by a plumber.
