Fire Sprinkler systems will be inspected in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines, NFPA Standard 25, and the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Commercial Fire will conduct monthly or quarterly inspections as required by local AHJ and, at a minimum, perform annual and five year inspections of sprinkler systems to include:
- Inspect the fire department connections to ensure caps/plugs are in place, coupling/swivels are undamaged, gaskets are present, signs are in place and no obstruction or damage is present
- Inspect the riser for any water leaks, ensure bracing is intact, and alarm valves are in proper position and no obstructions or damage is present.
- Inspect gauges for damage and ensure the three-way test valve is present and open.
- Inspect and test water flow alarm bell/gong for any visual obstructions and note if the fire sprinkler system is monitored.
- Inspect that the control valves are secure, with no leaks, the open/shut indicators are working, and no obstructions or damage is present.
- Inspect fire sprinkler heads for leaks, paint, or corrosion or flow obstruction; portion and check that the required sprinkler heads and wrench are on site.
- Inspect main drain test for static PSI before, residual PSI during and static PSI after test completion.
- Any defect found will be noted and sent to your attention with a cost quotation for repairs and certification.
