BLAZEMASTER® CPVC FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEMS
OFFERS NEW ONLINE TRAINING PROGRAM

CLEVELAND, OH ─ BlazeMaster® Fire Sprinkler Systems has created a new online training program for customers wishing to learn the proper installation techniques for a BlazeMaster CPVC fire sprinkler system. This new online training complements the existing hands-on installation training seminars.

“We recommend our installation training to anyone planning to install one of our systems. The online training provides a second option for accessing our programs. It also gives customers who have already gone through an in-person seminar the opportunity for retraining, which we recommend every two years,” said Matthew Kuwatch, BlazeMaster Fire Sprinkler Systems’ marketing manager.

The UL Listing requires that installation of BlazeMaster pipe and fittings be in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation instructions. Both the BlazeMaster online and in-person seminars provide customers with access to  proper installation  techniques.

The online training session is available 24 hours a day from a PC and costs $50. It can be accessed by visiting www.blazemaster.com. The training includes:

  • Listings & Approvals – areas where BlazeMaster pipe and fittings can be installed
  • Installation Guidelines – handling/storage, transition, hangers/supports, deflection limitation, freeze protection and chemical compatibility of ancillary products
  • Joining Pipe & Fittings – fitting preparation, solvent cement joining, pressure testing and set/cure times

At the conclusion of each online section, there is a short test on what students have learned. After successful completion of each section, they are advanced to the next. At the end of all three modules, a comprehensive short test is given. Those passing this test receive the certificate of completion online and are sent an embossed certificate and training card in the mail.
