SUMMARY:Updates to Flexible Sprinkler Hoses
DESCRIPTION:UL 2443 Standard for Flexible Sprinkler Hose with Fittings for Fire Protection Service has been revised to address historical questions regarding flexible sprinkler hoses. The new product standard now addresses maximum K-factors for sprinklers\, new methods for determining friction loss and the maximum number of bends\, and updates to marking requirements and installation instructions. Concurrently\, NFPA 13 has proposed language to address installation requirements for flexible sprinkler hoses for the first time. \n Register & Learn More

SUMMARY:Responsibilities of Layout Technician & Installer (CAL FIRE)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a webinar to learn about the responsibilities of a layout technician and an installer. The communication and relationship between the layout technician and the installer are crucial throughout the project to provide proper protection. The layout technician must clearly illustrate what is required by code and in the installation\, and the installer is required to make the system come to life. This discussion will clarify what both parties require to complete the job efficiently and effectively. \nLearning Objectives: \n1. Identify the pinch communication points between a layout technician and an installer.\n2. Differentiate the responsibilities of a layout technician from the engineer of record\n3.

SUMMARY:Avoid Being Dumped for a Buck & a Truck
DESCRIPTION:Fire Sprinkler contractors\, like all construction trades\, are experiencing a severe lack of manpower at every business level. This shortage of manpower is compounded by inflation and the increasing cost of money and materials\, resulting in projects being canceled or on hold. All of these factors are holding back potential growth and expansion opportunities and seem out of our control. They are not. Our industry needs the introduction of new blood and training programs to sustain the workforce needs of AFSA members and the industry as a whole. This webinar will provide solutions by discussing the need to recruit\, grow and retain our workforce and stop paying more per hour for mediocrity and untrained workers. \nLearning Objectives: \nUpon completion of this webinar\, attendees will be able to: \n\nUnderstand the needs of the modern workforce as opposed to past practices and\nIdentify the cost of employee turnover and it’s impact on the company’s bottom line.\nCombine the benefits and opportunity for growth and professional development to show team members why staying for the long haul is more beneficial than the short-term gain of a buck and a truck.\nChoose training programs for long-term solutions to the manpower needs to become a farmer rather than a hunter.\n\nDetails:  \nRegistration Fees (per person): \nAFSA Member with no CEU: FREE\nAFSA Member with CEU: $25\nNon-Member: $250\nAHJ without CEU: FREE\nAHJ with CEU: $15 \nContinuing Education Credit: \nThis webinar offers: 0.1 CEUs\, 1.0 CPDs \nTo receive continuing education credits for the webinar\, you must do all of the following: \n\nRegister individually using your name that matches your fitter certification\, if applicable.\nConnect with your unique webinar link\nDo not share or use someone else’s unique webinar link.\nAttend the webinar in its entirety\nRespond to each checkpoint question\nSubmit a completed evaluation form within 14 days of the webinar\n\nPlease check your time zone to ensure you connect at the right time: \n9:00 AM – 10:00 AM Pacific Time\n10:00 AM – 11:00 AM Mountain Time\n11:00 AM – 12:00 PM Central Time\n12:00 PM – 1:00 PM Eastern Time  \n Register

SUMMARY:Protecting Flammable Liquids with Synthetic Fluorine Free Foam (SFFF)
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will discuss the transition from aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) to synthetic fluorine-free foam (SFFF) based on new environmental regulations adopted by several states. SFFF can protect specific ignitible liquid hazards by using the prescriptive requirements in NFPA 30 Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code\, FM Data Sheet 7-29 Ignitable Liquid in Portable Containers\, FM Approval Guide FM5130\, and the manufacturer’s installation instructions and datasheet. These systems have specific installation requirements for both water supply piping and foam concentrate discharge piping\, as well as hydraulic considerations for the proportioning and discharge devices\, selected that will affect foam concentrate storage and water supply capacity. \n Register\nLearning Objectives: \nUpon completion of this webinar\, attendees will be able to: \n\nIdentify the four components that make up an approved SFFF system\nDefine the abbreviation “SFFF”\nApply the installation requirements and specific friction loss values associated with changing a proportioning device\nIdentify the approved discharge devices for use with SFFF\n\nDetermine the appropriate capacity for a foam bladder tank based on the system design
