New FM Sprinkler Data Sheet 2-0

Bring all of your designers, estimators, and contractors to this months meeting to hear Mark Mannex, P.E., Chief Engineering Technical Specialist for FM Global  introduce Factory Mutuals new Data Sheet 2-0, Installation Guidelines for Automatic Sprinklers.  This new Factory Mutual document replaces several former Data Sheets, including Data Sheet 2-8N, which was largely based on NFPA 13. The new Data Sheet 2-0 is a global standard, and is completely independent of NFPA. It introduces new terminology and guidelines, such as for obstructions. Mark will also discuss FM Global’s new version of FM Global Data Sheet 8-9 Storage of Class I, 2, 3, 4 and Plastic Commodities, which has been completely rewritten.
