  • Inspect My Ass — Who's Legally Allowed to Touch a Minnesota Sprinkler System

    A deep dive into the scope and exceptions of Minn. R. 7512 and Minn. Stat. 299M — what "fire protection-related work" means for a contractor versus a fitter, the surprisingly narrow definition of "inspect," the A-through-G contractor license exceptions, the "maintain" and emergency-impairment loophole, the homeowner and mine-safety carve-outs, and what happens when a shop loses its managing employee. Plus the insurance and bond numbers, and the one place you don't need them.

Stat. 299M, start to finish — what gets your license or card revoked, the 7/14/28-day suspension ladder and its floors, what "willfully" really means, the $1,000-per-violation-per-day civil penalty, and the working-day clock on a cease-and-desist order.

  • Card or Get the Fuck Off the Lift — Journeyman, Conditional, Limited Certs and Apprentices in Minnesota

    Two fitters tear through Minn. R. 7512 and Minn. Stat. 299M on who's actually allowed to touch a sprinkler system in Minnesota, from the 8,000-hour exam ticket to the six-month conditional card, the premises-only limited card, June 30 renewals, and the three-part direct supervision test for apprentices. If you can't tell "supervision" from "direct supervision" on the exam, this one's for you.

About Gritty Sprinkler Fitter

From the publisher's feed

Two Minnesota sprinkler fitters: FIELD, a beat-up old journeyman who's hung more pipe than you've walked past, and CODE, a cocky apprentice who's read the book twice and thinks that makes him dangerous. Raw, 18+ late-night talk on the MN Journeyman Sprinkler Fitter exam, built on the MSFC, NFPA 13, 14 and 25 and Minnesota rules, checked against the text, not barstool lore.
