    Due to the success of the NFPA 13 Hands-On Training Class held in April, the NFPA is doing it again this fall from Oct. 23rd to 25th!

    The NFPA has also cut the cost of the training from $1,200 to $599 CDN and that includes three days of hands on training with live sprinkler systems, a copy of NFPA 13 (2016), and continental breakfast and lunch each day.

    Hands-on exercises and classroom discussion led by industry experts share new concerns, vital fundamentals, and the knowledge required for comprehensive understanding of top-quality installations. You'll be more confident and efficient in your designs, installations, and analysis through interactive instruction that engages participants in the full range of NFPA 13 application -- including occupancy and commodity hazard classification updates. Shift from the classroom to the lab to experience:

    • Demonstrations on different sprinkler types and key factors
    • Wet pipe and dry pipe demonstrations/explanations
    • Hydraulic calculations in action -- from paper to piping
    • Demonstrations on the impact of obstructions on sprinklers

    To register, just follow this link http://catalog.nfpa.org/NFPA-13-Hands-on-Installation-of-Sprinkler-Systems-2016-3-Day-Training-Canada-P16407.aspx?icid=D533
