Why don't fire fighters use that white foamy stuff that you get in fire extinguishers to fight everyday fires, instead of water?Basically I was watching the news today and there was some cottage fire's some where in England and it just got me thinking. Is the white foamy stuff in fire extinguishers only good for small fires?That makes no sense though. And also if water is better for the bigger fire's then why aren't fire extinguishers filled with water.As soon as this popped in to my head I knew I wouldn't be able to stop thinking about it.So to recap my main question is;Why is water used instead of the stuff in fire extinguishers to fight fires?Any help would be great. :)
When these units are professionally installed, especially on a wood floor, they are always connected to a floor drain. The pans are designed to contain a certain amount of water related to minor spill but would not, (obviously), take care of a major leak. If I were installing this I would locate the floor drain and then cut the pan at the bottom to match the drain. Depending upon the size of your drain, (usually 3), you should be able to by an adapter to slightly raise and seal the drain to the pan. Don't forget to caulk the fittings
Depending on the layout, you may have to cut into the floor. I would suggest using flew hose and c clamps if its accessible.
Step 1 Straighten the outer ring of the paper clip so that you now have a long, straight piece of metal. Step 2 Hammer out the end of the paper clip so that it is flat. Use the hammer on a smooth concrete floor or anvil so that you won't damage anything. Step 3 Place the tension wrench or wrench substitute in the cylinder of the lock with the paper clip above it. Step 4 Apply a gentle pressure to the cylinder with the wrench, slightly turning the wrench as you do so. Step 5 Manipulate the paper clip while working the wrench. Slowly move the paper clip in and out while pushing up on the pins in the lock. Continue doing this until you have raised and set the pins. Step 6 Follow the complete instructions for picking a lock as outlined in the eHow article How to Pick a Lock (see link below).
