Umm I hope this ain't a training video. The pull station is too high up. It looks like you are using a small pair of channel locks not the right pliers. What kind of break rod is that? And put a test link in instead of cutting the actual detector. You didn't blow out the distribution line with air.
It's clearly a customer demo, he's talking to the customer end. The pull station location is probably the customers choice which is fine, Authority having jurisdiction I.e. the owner can specify the location. Nothing wrong with not using a test link nor anything wrong using a small pipe grips for the scissor links. Typical snob engineer trying to shoot down another guys work, I've met plenty like you and let me tell you they are the worst offenders when in comes to compliance. So you know some regulations big deal !! These systems aren't rocket science !
Customer's choice? Nowhere in NFPA 17A or IMC, IBC, ICC, or even in the Ansul (the manufacturer) manual will it allow for a location other than 48" from finished floor. Customer can choose where the pull station goes as far as kitchen location as long as the installer and/or AHJ will allow, but never alter in height.
Customer does not get a choice in the height of the pull station. No more than 48 inches from the ground. NFPA code, Ansul specifications. Done hundreds of finals with AHJ, fire Marshals and Mechanical inspectors. Same code for fire alarm pull stations.
That system is well beyond the allowed flow points😂😂😂. You’ve said nothing about nozzle coverage or anything. That’s Ansuls overlapping coverage. Do Better
