Brian,
Anything you can do to ensure the drum drips are attended to at the onset and during cold weather will be a benefit. It’s the owners responsibility, so educating them will be the best way. That said, NFPA 13 section *29.6.1 requires t*he installing contractor to provide a general information sign…. The sign shall include the following information: (14) Location of auxiliary drains and low point drains on dry pipe and preaction systems So, assuming the signage required on the riser since the 1999 or 2002 code cycle is there, I’m not sure another sign will help. *Bob Caputo, CFPS* *President* *American Fire Sprinkler Association* c: 760-908-7753 p: 214-349-5965 ext124 w: firesprinkler.org <https://www.facebook.com/firesprinkler.org/> <https://twitter.com/afsa/status/1039528345367732224> <https://www.linkedin.com/company/american-fire-sprinkler-association-afsa-/> <https://www.instagram.com/firesprinklerorg/> *From:* Brian Harris <[email protected]> *Sent:* Wednesday, January 3, 2024 6:57 AM *To:* [email protected] *Subject:* [Sprinklerforum] Dry System Aux. Drain I have a dry attic system where in addition to a couple drum drips I also have (2) aux. drains per 8.16.2.5.3.3 (2016). What’s the best way to make sure these get drained before the system is put into service? I’m thinking of making an 8.5x11 laminated print to put on the dry riser and note these (2) locations. Thoughts? Thank you, *Brian Harris, CET* BVS Systems Inc. bvssystemsinc.com Phone: 704.896.9989 Fax: 704.896.1935
