Question:

Is there aerosol in fire extinguishers?

Do hair sprays and fire extinguishers contain Chlorofluorocarbon? that is the question in my periodic test. I only remember 2 choices Chlorofluorocarbon or aerosol. My answer was aerosol because I knew there are no CFCs in fire extinguisher (not sure). But our teacher told the answer was CFCs. I could not defend my answer because I wasn't sure if there are really no CFCs in fire extinguisher. Please help me. I really wish I'm correcttnx.

Answer:

There are two specialty types of waste and overflows for your situation. You need either a side outlet or a heal outlet waste and overflow. These waste and overflows are specifically made for floor joist obstruction such as yours. They can be purchased at a plumbing supply store. You need an overflow for safety and it also provides air for drainage. The P trap is to be installed directly under the waste assembly. Talk to salesman at plumbing supply store and the will assist you in transition fittings from old drain to new assembly.
You can learn what ACTUALLY qualifies as a fire hazard. Row homes CANNOT make an open fire grill any more of a fire hazard than the same grill on the porch of a standalone house. If it is a properly designed grill, and at least 10 ft from the building structure, not counting the porch, it IS NOT a fire hazard.
