Are there installers / maintenance type forums anywhere?

Are there installers / maintenance type forums anywhere?

(OP)
I was recently doing an inspection on a building that had a rather fussy Automatic Model# 39 Dry Pipe Valve. I managed to get it reset but in the room I was working in there had also been a computer station / internet connection. It would have been nice to query a forum about the valve. Does anyone know of such a place?

Thanks Dave

RE: Are there installers / maintenance type forums anywhere?

Factory Mutual has a data sheet on most older dry pipe valves. I checked and they have data on your valve. However, the data sheet is limited to setting and testing the valve - it did not report any information on the ease or difficulty of resetting the valve.

Unfortunately one must purchase the FM CD to access the data sheets.
