The National Fire Protection Association’s standards (NFPA 25) list specific requirement for what equipment needs to be inspected or tested and how often. Some items need to be inspected or tested weekly, monthly, quarterly, semiannually, annually and every five years. The following is an example of what should be checked during the quarterly and annually inspections for a typical wet or dry sprinkler system.
1.- Inspect valves to verify that they are in the following conditions
* In their normal open or closed position
* Properly sealed, locked, or supervised
*Accessible
* Free of physical damages
* Appropriately labeled
* (Alarm valves) Retarding chamber or alarm drains functioning and with no leaks.
- Inspect all of the gauges to verify they are in the following conditions:
For wet systems:
* Gauges shall be inspected monthly to ensure they are in good condition and that normal water supply pressure is being maintained.
For dry systems:
- The gauge on the supply side of the dry pipe valve must indicate that the normal supply water pressure is being maintained.
- * The gauge on the quick-opening device, if provided, must indicate the same pressure as the gauge on the system side of the dry pipe valve.
- Gauges on systems with low air or nitrogen pressure alarms must be inspected monthly.
- Inspect water flow alarm and supervisory alarm devices for physical damage.
- Inspect and test the water flow alarm by opening the test connection on a wet pipe system and the bypass connection on a dry pipe system.
- If the sprinkler system is hydraulic calculated, inspect the hydraulic name plate to ensure that it’s attached and easily seen.
- Inspect fire department connections to make sure they are visible and undamaged, and ensure that gaskets and valves are not leaking or damaged.
- Inspect pressure reducing valves and relief valves, if any, to verify that they are:
* In the opening position
* Not leaking
* Maintaining downstream pressures in accordance with the design criteria.
* In good condition, with handles installed and unbroken
Annual Inspection
The annual inspection includes everything in the quarterly inspection as well as the following:
- Inspect all sprinkler heads, including the pipes and fittings (floor level only).
- Ensure that there are extra sprinkler heads on site, as well as tools to replace out sprinkler heads.
- Inspect interior of dry pipe valves while resetting (if applicable)
- Conduct a main drain water flow test to determine if there has been a change in the condition of the water supply. ( This test is required quarterly if the water is supplied through a backflow preventer and/or pressure reducing valve)
