FPC will be featuring Flexible Pipe Fittings used in Fire Sprinkler System piping in our May 2024 edition and we would like your input. Articles may focus on products, services, installation techniques, and procedures related to Flexible Pipe Fittings used in Fire Sprinkler System piping. We will include advice, opinions, and analysis of facts.
Articles should be kept short, about 800 words. Please submit text only articles and high-resolution photographs as separate attachments for consideration. (Note: color photos will be considered for use on the cover.)
An article may be an “installation report,” a “How to” article, or an “applications” article that shows how a fire sprinkler contractor can save time and money using your product. Anything and everything that helps fire sprinkler contractors is most appreciated.
Deadline: April 3, 2024 (extensions may be available)
Further Guidelines:
For Company or Product News Releases please be brief, 200 words or less. Give facts and omit sales pitches. Answer the basic Who, What, When, Where, and Why questions with concrete, to-the-point sentences. End with company name, address, and phone numbers, plus a contact name. Photo submissions are encouraged.
Feature Articles should include up to 800 words, though shorter articles are the most effective. Follow news release guidelines but expand on and support the facts. Give opinions but distinguish them clearly from facts. Write as you would speak to a colleague, in a clear, concise, and concrete manner. Quotes from contractors are always good.
Articles and news releases should be sent as “text only” documents. Photos should be high-resolution and sent as separate attachments.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss an article or this feature, please contact us.
Yours, for a better fire sprinkler industry,
