How can engineers and contractors design wet fire sprinkler systems equipped to prevent corrosion and dry systems equipped to prevent freezing? That has long been a question central to code requirements and new product development.

Individual building safety professionals and organizations were recognized by ICC for going above and beyond for their communities, the industry and the association.

The award highlights the efforts of a young and talented fire protection professional, who is under 40 and demonstrates exemplary technical, professional and inclusive leadership skills not only in their own businesses, but also at a national level.

The Code Council’s three new publications each address a critical component of wildfire and fire safety and prevention.

Victaulic’s VicFlex style AB2 bracket now includes a new over/under center bracket that can be flipped around the center bar, making it easy to install from above or below, the company explains. 

Viega’s MegaPress stainless press fittings provide time savings for industrial fire protection installations, the company explains. 

UL listed to protect against fire, water and smoke, HoldRite HydroFlame cast-in-place sleeves accommodate penetrants from 1/2" to 12", the widest range in the industry, the company notes. 

Available with 2" and 3" Metacaulk cast-in-place device, the RectorSeal tub box kits are designed to prevent the spread of fire from bathtub or jet-spa drains to the upper level. 

Easyflex’s new ultra performance flexible sprinkler drop features a 1 1/4" ID, which translates into less friction loss than 1" Schedule 40 pipe with the same number of 90s, Easyflex points out. 

To limit the negative impact of a failed auxiliary drain, AGF created the model 5900FE FLOOD ELIMINATOR.
