NineStoneCowboy Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Do I have to use holders in order to safely suspend Silver Cascades? (PP415 etc) I'm assuming the Le Maitre holders in the PP103-111 range are the ones but I can't see a link that specifically says "Cascades are gerbs therefore you must use these holders". Also, what are "red caps" ? cheers 9SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareth Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Ring LeMaitre and ask them! They're very approachable people. Seriously, folks - if you have a question about a specific manufacturer's kit, the primary point of contact should be the manufacturer themselves. There's no guarantee that any answers posted on open internet forums to questions such as the above will be in any way accurate. Particularly when it comes to pyrotechnic effects, the only advice you should trust is that from the manufacturer or other experienced professional - and on the BR, you have no way of knowing for sure whether a respondent is either of those things.

Pyromark Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Cascades have a hole through them so you can attach them with a wire or cable tie, no holder is needed You dont want or need the red caps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NineStoneCowboy Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 OK that may be fair comment, certainly respect the logic of your answer, but it must be said, why bother having a forum section with the word "Pyro" in it if we are going to knock people who ask pyro related q's? Was going to ring Le Maitre in the morning anyway! 9SC. :) Ring LeMaitre and ask them! They're very approachable people.

gareth Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 why bother having a forum section with the word "Pyro" in it if we are going to knock people who ask pyro related q's?Pyro-related questions are the "raison d'etre" of this part of the forum, so no knocking necessary. My point was simply that questions which are very specifically product-useage-related are best directed at the manufacturer in the first instance. While there's a lot of good advice floating around on the Blue Room, as far as safety-critical devices such as pyrotechnics are concerned I'd be keen to ensure that any advice I needed came from a completely trusted source.

timtheenchanteruk Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 last time I bought some cascades (about a year ago) they no longer came with the red caps, just put the match inside, secure with a bit of tape on the side and thats it.
