SUMMARY:Storage Sprinkler Obstructions
DESCRIPTION:Control Mode Specific Application (CMSA) sprinklers and Early Suppression Fast Response (ESFR) sprinklers use lots of water to control high-challenge fires. These types of sprinklers are often more sensitive to obstructions than other types.  Learn the obstructions’ impact and how to space the sprinklers near them appropriately. In recent years\, research has led to new guidelines to assist users in installing storage sprinklers when obstructions are present. \nLearning Objectives: \n1.    Explain the impact of obstructions on CMSA sprinklers.\n2.    Explain the impact of obstructions on ESFR sprinklers.\n3.    Discuss the variations in obstruction criteria between the different types of storage sprinklers.\n4.    Use the obstruction guidelines to locate CMSA and ESFR sprinklers efficiently. \n  \n Learn More and Register\n  \nDetails:  \nRegistration Fees (per person): \nAFSA  Member Without CEU: FREE\nAFSA Member With CEU: $25.00\nAHJ Without CEU: FREE\nAHJ With CEU: $15\nNon-Member: $250 \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
