. I went to perform a fire pump test once and some dummy used a wrench to close a butterfly valve…breaking it of course. So what did they do? They used zip-ties to make it appear as though it was still in place. Wasted my whole damn day. I woke up at 2:30 am and drove 50 miles for absolutely nothing because it had to be replaced.

With a different system right? :roll:

I don’t know how I forgot to mention this, but I once went to perform a test of the deluge/foam system at Boston’s Logan International Airport. We had an electrical contractor come in to assist us with the panel as the equipment was far too elaborate for us to mess with. He disabled the faom generators to avoid a huge mess and interruptions to business.

What we did was push around a wheeled cart with a metal pan on it, filled with gasoline. In various spots we would toss in a match and within seconds the flame detection units would sense the fire and it would set off the alarm system. The alarms were interesting. There were BG-12s scattered about (This hanger was HUGE) and the signals were those large red loudspeakers, possibly made by Wheelock.

Like these?

Yes, but they were just single speakers. Not cluster speakers.

Thats a STH Cluster Speaker w/ MCCH
Multi-Candela Strobe
Made by Cooper Notification… Not made by Wheelock A simple Google Images search revealed this.

[kcin556]

Cooper Notification is Wheelock, Cooper is the parent company.

[system]

^That is correct

AND…

either way, simple reading comprehension reveals that I said they were POSSIBLY made by Wheelock.

Eaton owns Cooper Industries which owns Wheelock. They’ve actually owned Cooper for around 1.5-2 years now.
