Gritty Sprinkler Fitter

Residential and 13R/13D rules that trip people who only ever think full commercial NFPA 13. Small room rule, townhouses, and the gotchas - straight off the study deck, explained out loud.Season 1 · Ep 4 · ~59.3 minBuilt from real MN journeyman exam flashcards: we hit the question, the correct answer, why the wrong choices fail, then how it shows up on the job.MN exam editions we stick to: NFPA 13/20 family 2016, NFPA 25 2017, MSFC 2020. Study talk, not the code book - if this fights your booklet, the booklet wins.

Two fitters grinding the layout side of the MN journeyman exam — how far heads can stretch, where hangers have to land, rod sizes on big pipe, beam and obstruction rules, dry-system pitch and inspector’s test location, and the little clearance/temperature traps that show up worded sideways on the test.

We talk it like the job: what fails in the field, how the question will try to trick you, and which numbers are worth locking in. About an hour.

Season 1 · Ep 3 · ~66 min

For people studying the Minnesota journeyman sprinkler exam. We stick to the editions MN still tests (NFPA 13/20 family 2016, NFPA 25 2017, MSFC 2020). This is study talk, not the code book — if something here fights your booklet, the booklet wins.
