A new webinar has been prepared by Fire Smarts LLC on
behalf of the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors Association to inform
contractors nationwide about the use of multipurpose systems in residential
construction and how these systems can present a competitive business advantage
for the plumbing contractor. This webinar is the second in a series of
residential fire sprinkler educational and training opportunities that will be
offered by the PHCC, and is part of its Online Business Management Training.
"Introduction To Multipurpose Residential Fire Sprinkler Systems"
will be presented by Jayson Drake, Uponor’s
Sr. Product Manager for Fire Safety Systems, April 22 at 3 pm EST. He will
educate participants on the NFPA 13D fire sprinkler standard as it applies to
multipurpose systems and how these systems can give the plumbing contractor a
competitive advantage when competing for this work by reducing the cost of
installation. In addition, participants will be introduced to the advantages
and disadvantages of working with the PEX tubing commonly used in multipurpose
systems.
According to Fire Smarts,
multipurpose systems are ideal for plumbing contractors to install as the
system piping serves both fire protection and domestic plumbing needs. “In a
market that has been projected to exceed $3 billion a year in theResidential
Fire Sprinklers Market Growth and Labor Demand Analysispublished by Fire Smarts in September 2008, there is a significant opportunity
available for plumbing contractors who are capable of installing multipurpose
systems,” the company stated.
Registration is open to all interested parties and PHCC members receive a
discounted tuition rate for the course. For more information and to register
