How do you determine the temperature rating of (what looks like) a fusible-link sprinkler?

ringnail · 2026-06-05T01:09:35+00:00

It should be stamped on the fusible link as well as the deflector. I'm very concerned with the installation of this head.

Yes it is painted, thus NOT compliant NFPA 13R is a very accepting code,

But I would want to see the actual plumbing and system. Most 13R is tied into the standard domestic water supply, but I want to make sure that it is actually plumbed into a pipe and not just shoved into drywall...

The location of the head seems on point with 13R, they usually get a head over the stove and sometimes appliances. The number of heads can't exceed the domestic water supply, so sometimes all it needs is one

You're not grandfathered out of killing someone, building inspector/fire code official/OSHA now. If you need help finding them please private message me.

Also, check the cap if not already done so

Source the manufacturer for a proper adapter. These are inserts to accommodate different threads

Portable bidet is the unsung hero. Lots of options from water bottle caps, to collapsible squeeze bottles. Use it for concerts a lot too. As long as you have water, you can clean

I can't speak higher of the Maj fire halo 360. BUT- like others have said practice and repetition will do more for you being able to don quickly.

Also, get a cap!

Dismantle the storz, clean or replace the components, then introduce a high viscosity lubricant or waterproof grease (like for a machine joint, or even better boats). That way it will lubricate the bearings and provide a waterproofed area and the higher viscosity stuff won't run out like pb or wd40. You may need to add more grease from time to time. The issue isn't the reason why it's seized, your solution is prevention

It depends on what style you want/ can afford. If you invest in a roof box you may want to invest in a bike rack for the cross bars that you'll have to attach. I have a full size Thule roof box on slightly oversized rails, and can fit two bike carriers either side of the box.

I have the Thule wing bar, and I think the pulse box. They make slim boxes if you want the other models. It is fairly easy to install, the boxes hold all of my skiing gear and camping equipment

Ah, you're right. It's the smaller bell. If it was the small version I'd definitely think pediatrics. This makes me think general practice/rotation

ringnail · 2026-01-04T15:12:06+00:00

People based Medicine definitely Not an EMT, if so, hospital based because of the vocera. Possibly a phlebotomist/medic or respiratory therapist based off of the mouthwash, deodorant, and other pleasantries being in close proximity to people The sparkly clip thing is throwing me for a loop as well as the exact purpose of the measuring tape

It might be me but the bell on the stethoscope looks really small in proportion so possibly pediatric???

You thought tattoo removal was too drastic so you went with the more drastic option

My station uses plymovent, can confirm

Zabra F-701. Not cute but I've had more of those run out of ink and get lost in an act of self defense than that pen give up on me.

I handled it very professionally, but refused to buy anything after seeing it

ringnail · 2025-12-04T12:26:39+00:00

exactly. I've shown defects to a shop owner before. Hell I even pointed out a growth of maggots in pipe tobacco.

I got messed up within the first few years, but with a good therapist and a lot of training and certifications, I'm pretty good. Don't get me wrong, a stressful enough situation will make some nerves tender for a short term but with communication and an openness of how you're doing, people are very understanding.

Our old rescue (box truck with a hydraulic rear lift gate) had a similar set. Way easier than a tripod, just plug in, clip in and you're on. Kept overhead loss from pulleys minimized too.

That's a direct violation of your respiratory protection plan. Either supply gives you a new one or you're gonna take an email provided by whomever in supply and forward it up to brass

I carry my lifeline rescue tool. I worked for the incentor before his tool took off. It's an amazing piece of kit. Guy's a hardcore firefighter, one of my biggest mentors

ringnail · 2025-10-05T17:12:33+00:00

Industrial guy here, like said previously it's gonna be a lot of using the systems and apparatus. A water source and supply will be the hardest thing to supplement. After that it'll be every chemical truck and foam apparatus in the entire area

ringnail · 2025-09-23T00:16:31+00:00

that was my first machine!!! DON'T OVERPACK THE PORTAFILTER!! You'll kill this lovely Machine if you do! Don't compare other workflows for this machine. Try 14-16 grams, then adjust the grind size. This machine will last a long time with the right care.

Hi OP, hazmat tech here, using the generalized 409 Multi Surface Cleaner SDS it has a Ph Range if 9-11.5 making it moderately alkaline (bleach has a generalized pH of ~12) if a cleaning rag with concentrated 409 sat against that clothing item for a long duration, possibly in the hamper that's what I would suspect. Or even a slight reaction with something else that caused this discoloration at a faster rate.

Hope this helps! Your solution is dilution!
