i'm in a 15 year old apartment building that keeps getting problems causing fire alarms. most of them are valve pressure, dry water flow, sprinkler problems, and recently had a leak in the attic causing a wet spot in a tenant's apartment. There's always problems. mostly in the attic. does this mean it will catch fire someday a REAL fire?? Low water pressure, dry water valve and all kind of issues. Wonder if the apartment building will ever catch fire someday?
They do, sometimes. However, the valve is located well below ground, to avoid the water freezing, so the crash would have to damage the underground valve, which is unlikely. .
Too many variables, are you using a deck gun, a 2 1/2, 1 3/4 what pressure is the pump at, smooth bore, task force tip, etc etc. I just have my guys adjust the stream till it hits the spot you want to hit.
