2、 perpendicular to the water lines, which is not the industry norm for hydraulic systems. This contributed to the OPF GSE technicians believing they were closing the valves by positioning them perpendicular to the water line when, in fact, they were opening the valves. This misinterpretation resulted
3、 in the activation of zones 1,2,3,4, and 5 of the bay 2 Firex deluge system.Lesson(s) Learned: The OPF Firex deluge remote manual arming and firing valves do not conform to industry norms, allowing for misinterpretation of their configuration.Recommendation(s): All Firex deluge system valves should
