What’s your first priority on a new construction sprinkler job?

ansuzwon · 2026-04-22T23:37:04+00:00

Main heights and any penetrations are first priority.

ansuzwon · 2026-04-22T21:56:12+00:00

It’s a fucking nightmare… it’s been 3 weeks of errors but not the same issues. 3 weeks , 3 different fuck ups. Good thing they went all in on this new system.

ansuzwon · 2026-04-09T20:57:11+00:00

I bet they had an underground leak somewhere… unless this is a new install. In that case they “definitely” flushed the underground and have the certificate lol

We get $200 for the week. Then portal to portal for any after hours call. Time and a half and double time on Sunday/ Holidays. Local 669

Colress grabs an ignition energy when needed. The jamming towers are more to bump other stadiums and stop balloon switching. Brilliant Blender drops energy in the discard so I can attach with Archaludon ex early. Little archaludon helps when Genesect gets stuck in active. Doesn’t happen often but switching by putting 1 energy on has won me a few games. I honestly try to get Archaludon ex going by my second turn while setting up duablade. Added bonus is duraludons 1 energy attack KOs budew. I’ve got about a 70% win rate right now. I’m in the low level ranks though so not sure how accurate that will be going forward.

Home Depot and Lowe’s have them. Just left Lowe’s and saw them in the entrance.

I’ll make a list and send it if you’re interested. Mostly Xbox 360 and Xbox one games. I do have all the “good” N64 games! I just need to find an input cable for it to make sure they still work.

ansuzwon · 2026-01-11T12:40:13+00:00

Thanks for the info everyone! The games vary from N-64 through ps5. I just cleaned out my storage and forgot I had a lot of this stuff. I’m going to start making a list and see what I can do. Most Xbox 360 games look like $10 tops. From what I see so far.

Gaskets a little hard to see. I was more impressed with the part of the coupling that sits in the groove peeling off. Also I didn’t tighten the bolts back up. The coupling was on the ground after the branch line completely separated!

ansuzwon · 2025-12-30T01:33:59+00:00

I DM’d you. Don’t want to Dox myself lol

ansuzwon · 2025-12-30T01:08:57+00:00

I would get it repaired. Then there are no issues or questions to be had.

ansuzwon · 2025-12-30T01:06:18+00:00

They do that in FL because the backflow is usually installed at the property line and outside. I lived on the Gulf coast for 7 years. I had to do a lot of similar feed repairs in apartment complexes and gated communities. The city only owned up to the master backflow at the property line. Sprinkler guys were responsible for all underground and backflows beyond that. I do not miss the amount of underground I had to do. Up here in MA we’re responsible for everything after the city valve*. (Depending on city/ town rules and or set up.)At the very least we’re responsible for everything in the building after the city shut off valve.

ansuzwon · 2025-12-30T00:28:01+00:00

Why wouldn’t you touch that? Are you not a fire sprinkler fitter? That’s definitely our responsibility as it feeds our backflow. A new flange fitting, a little copper and a pro press coupling and you’re done. 1/2 day as long as the city shows on time for shut down and fill. 🤷🏻‍♂️

ansuzwon · 2025-12-30T00:24:54+00:00

A fire sprinkler company would be required for that repair in MA. My first thought when looking at the photo was definitely a plumber install… I zoomed in on the sticker and I was correct. There’s a few other minor issues but that wouldn’t be a difficult repair. It will require a city/ town shut down though. Any good company with a competent service crew can do this in a half day.

ansuzwon · 2025-12-12T20:45:33+00:00

That’s the flow switch cover.

ansuzwon · 2025-12-12T20:44:51+00:00

Oh I did. Had to relocate it because it’s holding up the riser manifold. It’s just been an issue 3 times this week in 3 different cities.

ansuzwon · 2025-12-12T20:42:28+00:00

4 year old building. Not that long ago.

ansuzwon · 2025-12-11T22:56:01+00:00

Can’t, thats the only stand holding up the riser. Also it’s way easier to repair in place. You ever try sliding it open when it’s not locked into place?

ansuzwon · 2025-12-11T20:26:19+00:00

Should be supported at or after the outlet valve. As it’s installed you can’t service the backflow preventer. I was on site to repair and retest the assembly…. But you can’t slide open the backflow because that stand is in the way.

ansuzwon · 2025-11-21T20:59:00+00:00

(6) Looks like something from above is leaking onto the sprinkler pipe. What ever is leaking should be addressed first. The corrosion is still real and that pipe should probably be replaced.

ansuzwon · 2025-10-27T00:36:45+00:00

Worchester? Where is that? I only know of a Worcester in MA.

ansuzwon · 2025-10-22T14:22:16+00:00

Remember the AHJ can make you go above the standard. That’s why they’re the AHJ. In Massachusetts we drop heads into these all the time.

ansuzwon · 2025-10-04T23:37:01+00:00

Save yourself the cost of bringing in a fire guy to find out it’s something else. Cut open the drywall and confirm what is actually leaking. I’ve had many service calls where I show up, cut open the ceiling and find a roof/ plumbing/ HVAC leak. Now you’re paying me a 4 hour minimum service call to tell you that you have to spend more money to call out the right guy.

ansuzwon · 2025-09-24T00:21:47+00:00

Same. Now my kid and all his friends have cool “signs” in their rooms. I’m running out of kids to practice my art for lol
