About this file

This document is an Annual Fire Sprinkler Inspection Report for Building #38, located at S 1st Ave in Hines, IL, conducted by Chicago Fire Protection on 2024-10-04. The inspection covered a single wet sprinkler system, with the technician Jeff Franco completing a comprehensive evaluation of fire protection equipment including control valves, backflow preventers, fire department connections, sprinklers, pipes, and alarm devices. The inspection identified five non-critical deficiencies that require future attention, including: no records of internal check valve inspections in the past 5 years, absence of outside and inside bells (replaced with horn/strobe), no hydrostatically tested piping from fire department connection, and no internal assessment of piping condition.

The report indicates the system is fully operational, with all tested components functioning correctly. Main drain flow tests showed consistent water pressure (initial static 65 PSI, residual 60 PSI), and the inspector's test connection performed successfully with a 35-second alarm time. Two backflow valves were monitored and in good condition, and all visible sprinklers, pipes, and fittings were found to be free of damage or corrosion. The deficiencies noted are scheduled for resolution during the next 5-year inspection, and both the inspector and a client representative signed off on the report, confirming the system's overall operational status.
