New State-specific Fire Sprinkler Web Pages 
Provide Resource for Industry Professionals

       On Nov. 29, 2010, Uponor unveiled its newest online resource for 
industry professionals seeking information about residential fire sprinklers: 
www.uponorpro.com/firesafety.  This landing page opens to a map where 
everyone from the installer to the builder to the code official can find 
everything from videos, case studies and industry links to training courses, 
technical support and local contact information for their specific area.

       "Fire sprinkler mandates are rapidly expanding, and professionals 
need a fast, easy resource to find information about correctly and cost-
effectively installing fire sprinklers in homes," says Jayson Drake, senior 
product manager, Plumbing and Fire Safety, at Uponor. "Because Uponor 
has been installing the multipurpose AquaSAFE(tm) fire sprinkler system for 
more than a decade, we are residential fire sprinkler experts and can 
provide professionals with the training, education and contacts they need."

       Since the mandate is just weeks away for Pennsylvania and 
California, this online resource is an especially critical tool for professionals 
in those areas that will be required to install fire sprinklers in all new homes 
built after Jan. 1, 2011.

      "With the new residential fire sprinkler mandate fast approaching, 
there are thousands of new professionals looking to become educated in 
this industry," says Drake. "Each state-specific fire safety page on the site 
has a tab specifically for installers to direct them on training and technical 
support for installing multipurpose systems."

       The state-specific pages also have tabs dedicated to builders and 
code officials who are looking for contact information and support for their 
local area.

       "We want to make sure everyone in the home-building industry is 
equipped with everything they need to make informed decisions and 
properly install fire sprinkler systems in new homes," says Drake. "With this 
new online resource, they have a one-stop shop for access to all the 
information they will need."
