2-Day Residential Fire Sprinkler Training

With the new International Residential Code (IRC) requirement to provide fire sprinkler systems in new homes, there is an incredible opportunity for plumbing contractors to enter this exciting new market. This two day seminar will educate participants on the NFPA 13D and IRC P2904 requirements for designing and installing fire sprinklers in one and two family homes, including townhomes. Participants will learn about how IRC P2904 applies to multipurpose residential sprinkler systems and have a chapter-by-chapter discussion on the NFPA 13D standard to gain an understanding of water supply requirements, system layout options, system component requirements and installation tips and best practices for residential fire sprinkler systems.
