Joe, why you made limited videos? Why not continue other videos which have unique topic? Like Deluge valve etc

[@NFPAJoe]

I do plan on making more videos. I want to cover all the different style sprinkler system valves and fire pumps.

Why big duct at 8:15 ruclips.net/video/V0yOc47MkOY/видео.htmlsi=BNHpzP79gbJl2fr-&t=495 is NOTobstruction and small pipe @7:28 is obstruction and need to follow 3x rule ?

[@NFPAJoe]

@ADOWAI 7:28 I was going over an example of how to use the 3 times rule. And then went to explain how when using specifically the standard spray upright and pendant in light and ordinary hazard occupancy only structural elements have to be acknowledged when spraying over an obstruction. Unless the obstruction is over 4’ wide.
Let me know if you are understanding now. Thanks
