Noveon Inc.-Sprinkler Retrofit in Fraternity House (March 2004)
Faced with a requirement to be sprinklered before its chapter house could be occupied, Alpha Xi Delta Fraternity, Inc. chose to retrofit using BlazeMaster CPVC pipe because of its cost advantages, easy installation and corrosion resistance.
"It became quickly apparent to us that we didn't have a lot of options," explained Kim Frye-Olesker, director of housing for Alpha Xi Delta's national operation. "We were under a tight deadline to comply with the city ordinance and we wanted to rent the premises quickly so as to minimize the amount of rent income we lost."
