The article addresses the role of regulatory testing and approvals in the growing adoption of flexible sprinkler systems around the world. In the article, John addresses common issues that can be found in hard pipe installations, how these issues can contribute to decreased performance of the sprinkler system, and how the selection of agency-approved flexible sprinkler drop products can eliminate some of these issues.
