This course is intended to provide training in multipurpose residential sprinkler systems for participants seeking licensure as a Multipurpose residential fire sprinkler contractor (F-5) or Multipurpose residential fire sprinkler journey person (F-6) in the State of Connecticut.

The Multipurpose Residential Fire Sprinkler Systems class is a blended learning program, combining self paced online learning and live virtual online training. 

The overall course completion time, including both self paced and live virtual training is approximately 24 hours.  Students will work through the online self paced portion prior to the live virtual training class.  The self paced portion must be completed in its entirety in order to be eligible for the live virtual training.  On the date of the live virtual training, students who have completed the self paced portion, will have access to a link to access the live training class. 

Self-paced Online Portion - Opens March 8, 2021 (Registration will remain open through March 15, 2021)
Live Virtual Training - April 8 & 9  from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm each day

This course will teach installers the skills and knowledge to competently install multipurpose residential fire sprinkler systems in one- and two-family dwellings. This class is based upon the two major installation standards for these residential sprinkler systems: NFPA 13D, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems in One- and Two- Family Dwellings and Manufactured Homes, 2016 Edition and Section P2904 of the International Residential Code, 2018 edition which is titled Dwelling Unit Fire Sprinkler Systems. Edition years may be adjusted based upon the licensing agency having jurisdiction.

Sprinkler system installation in one- and two-family dwellings differs considerably from the techniques and concepts of a “commercial” type sprinkler system installed in accordance with NFPA 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems and NFPA 13R, Standard for The Installation of Sprinkler Systems in Low-Rise Residential Occupancies and this class will give participants a thorough understanding of the specific requirements for installing residential fire sprinkler systems in one- and two-family dwellings.

Registration fee includes a copy of NFPA 13D 2016.  Please ensure the address included on the registration is the correct shipping address.

 

Students will be required to complete a manufacturer installation training to obtain final licensure.   Students will be provided information to complete training for installer requirements of the listed residential piping materials CPVC and PEX to the state for approval. However, NFSA is not providing this instruction but will provide resources for students to access this type of training.

The final licensure requirement is the successful completion of the state exam.

 

The online portion of the course will open on March 7, 2021 and must be completed by the start of the live virtual training on April 8, 2021 at 9:00 am EST.  The Live Virtual Training Dates are April 8 - 9, 2021 from 9:00 am - 11:00 am both days.  Participation in the live event is REQUIRED for completion of the course.  Additionally, participants must complete the online portion to access the live virtual training.  The online course material will open on March 8, 2021, however, registration will remain open through is open through March 15, 2020.
