I know in this video I said I was happy with the flow rate and coverage however I've decided I need more so I will be making more videos in the future of getting more flow out of the system I have done the work already the videos will be coming out in the next couple months

Hi from Sydney, Australia. I worked in the fire research area of Aus Govt primary research organisation. A bit of trivia - Australia has the oldest sprinkler systems in the world, and no deaths in a sprinklered building. Cheers!

That sprinkler head had a quicker reaction than I thought, Nice demonstration

Great video as always. I love the way you always explain things. Keep up the good work

Only fun thing that would make the demo better. Start a little fire underneath in your fir pit we see on the patio and see how well it puts a real fire out. (do not repeat the entire test, just rig it up again the same way and turn on the water to the tripped head and see how well it deals with a real fire.

Life savers when they work, not only do they assist people get out the building, but they assist fire fighters with quickly knocking down that fire.

Great video love the sprinkler activation

enjoy your videos you are a genius (Steve Australia)

this was so freaky. As you was testing the Fire Alarm's our adjacent Apartment complex's central emergency fire alarm system which triggers EMS Dispatch sounded and there was legitimately a fire inside an apartment.

Finally! I think we all knew this video was coming eventually lol.

Finally he’s doing it!

love your videos, i bet your neighbors love you too sounding those alarms no offense intended :P

You should make a video about what is in your electrical bag please I would love to watch it keep up the good work

Dude needs to come to the place I work at and fix our Honeywell, alarms abs system

The only way to add a pump to increase the GPM is to add a buffer tank. You need 110 gallons reserve per head to cover 11 GPM. That’s @ 10 minutes. If the requirement is 20 minutes you need to double the reserve capacity.

for years i have wanted to set up a fire alarm system i constantly brows ebay for used systems and alarms itrs all quite expensive for somone on a fixed income so i just have to live with watching thease videops insted wich i still enjoy.. would love to have a base building game were you can build a fire alarm and sprinkler and electrical system im very tehcnical minded and like to mess with that sorta thing wich is why in games such as 7 days 2 die i make complicated electrical networks through the entire base

Hey nic, love the videos. That sprinkler really spewed didn’t it? Lol! You are great at testing this stuff. See you in the next one. Also, /e pin

Love the videos

Nice video. You deserve more subscribers. New subscriber btw

Like I said I love your vids keep up the good work 😊

You should do a video of building those demonstration boards

Not many people demonstrate that cool

Nice ceiling upgrade

Nice video !

FYI if no one has mentioned it yet, garden hose has its own thread type. Next time what you want are 3/4 GHT fittings.

You don't have to buy brand new sprinkler, you just need that rod in it and it's easily to replace you., just have to turn off the water and then put that metal piece up and put the rod in.

Nice video

How long is a water flow switch supposed to take to activate in Canada? NYC requires 30-90 seconds.

Garden hoses use GHT (Garden Hose Thread) whereas pipes use tapered threading (NPT in USA/Canada and ???, BSP elsewhere). Usually when I need flexible hose to attach to piping, I'll use barb adapters and hose clamps. These are usually carried in most hardware stores. You just have to make sure what you use is meant for piping, and not garden/lawn. One scenario where GHT is used, is typically hot water storage tank drain valve. I have not added sprinkler system to my home, though I contemplating it. I have an unusual situation, where there are 3 booster pumps the size of a large cargo van each that were recently added at the end of my block (in a faux house)... and I found out from my local water council that my home's feed is tied into a 200mm (8 inch) main, just 30 meters (100ft) from my house. I had to use 2 PR valves to reduce my pressure to normal domestic levels... Due to burst flex pipes in dishwasher after water council added these pumps/booster station. I hooked up a 100PSI gauge and it pegged. 200PSI gauge... it pegged it... Finally I added a large 2000kPa fire sprinkler gauge and it nearly pegged it. Gauge only has kPa markings, but doing conversion, this was near 300PSI! Come to find out after council did an evaluation around the block, that someone had connected my main where it wasn't supposed to be, and council moved it to a 100mm/4 inch feed. However, pressure still is over 1700kPa(250PSI). Bad for house, but tempted to test and see how it performs with sprinklers tehehe! I remember watching the pump station being built, and somewhere still have photos of the in and out supply piping to that place. The pipes were almost 1 metre in diameter. Absolutely huge

I was a Firefighter for 23 years. Stopping the water coming out of a sprinkler head sucks. But if the sprinkler head gets knocked off accidentally, you have to stop the water to prevent property loss.

10:17 Where'd you get the Canadian National step? I want a Southern one if its from an online store.

Awesome video

The test would have been more fun had it been one year old black stagnant water first coming out. 😂….

What’s that white box mounted to the back of the fire alarm panel?

So that will keep spraying as long as you don't turn off the sprinkler line or the main water in line?

I thought that was going to be more of a gentle water fall rather than a aggressive spray. Tho that does make sense

So excited

No it isn't usually glued it's usually so u don't have to even remove the whole sprinkler as long as you have the plug.

No delay on your flow switch? That can be a source of false alarms if city water pressure is fluctuating

I have forgotten what liquid is in the glass vials? alcohol / acetone? from my studies a few years back each color represents a certain burst temperature and each vial color has a different sized bubble in them for expansion, to make them go off at that temp

Our high school has FM-100 gas release for the one specific room

Nic did you see what I posted for fire alarm related on my community post?

You said you might need to buy new heads... Over here in the UK you can buy replacement triggers and parts, keeping the main casting in place - surely cheaper? Do you not have that in Canada? (Obviously if activated due to a real fire you wouldn't recycle, that's a given lol)

Nic you are super amazing with your videos. I love watching them. I was wondering have you considered the concealed sprinkler heads for your drop ceiling area?

I never seen these tested before

5:06, not only it would make a mess but it would cause water damage and possibly mold, good idea to do it outside

How did you get the WF delay?

are you gonna start uploading more often because you dont usually upload on sundays

i would say in the green hill/emerald hill community college career center services building will use the johnson controls water aqua-mist fog system series besides these traditional fire sprinklers. since it will reduce the flood and electrical water damage ish hazards. which would be a more efficient and safer alternative to reduce and minimize the risk.

Ayy yo

Wet location shouldn’t that be seal tight?

Okay that's a good comment

It needs a little more pressure just a bit

It can recycle, I recycle it into water plant system

Today is my birthday

Nic👏🏻does👏🏻not👏🏻miss👏🏻

Fun way to water your grass

Where did my other comment go?

Falling off for

Your poor neighbors

Microsoft is to the best thing about you can use,so ujbmoj?oh well done for your yes I'm sorry I've ever
