F-1 Alarm Check Valves and Accessories

Special Instructions.

The work required by this procedure may cause the activation of an alarm and/or a supervisory signal (See Guide Card No. F-14). The field office manager and the control center or fire department that will receive the alarm and/or signal must be notified prior to the start of this work.

If drains are not piped to the outside of the building, take the necessary steps to prevent water damage during the full flow drain test. Rate of discharge from 2-inch drain may exceed the capacity of a floor drain. Preventive maintenance should be scheduled for the control valve (main supply) of the wet pipe sprinkler system at this time (see Guide Card Nos. F-3 and F-4). Review the manufacturer's instructions.

Check Points.

1. Record the static pressure (pressure on the supply side gauge).

2. Check for proper water flow through 2-inch drain. If water flow is weak, (considerable drop in water pressure when 2-inch is wide open), supply valves may not be fully open or there may be other piping obstructions.

3. Record the flow full drain residual pressure (lowest pressure on supply side gauge).

4. Close 2-inch drain.

5. Close main supply valve for the sprinkler system, then open 2-inch drain valve.

6. Immediately close drain valve when water pressure on incoming side of alarm check valve has dropped to 10 to 20 psi. If pressure rises within one minute, main supply valve is not seating properly. In such case, open drain valve and alternately open and close supply valve several times in an attempt to flush the valve seat. If not successful, supply valve needs to be repaired.

7. With supply valve open, check operation of alarm check valve, water motor gong and its drain, and all other alarm or supervisory signals, such as water flow paddle alarms, pressure switches, etc. by flowing water through inspector's test both at valve and at remote connection.

8. When applicable, check that excess pressure, booster, jockey, and fire pumps equipped with automatic start feature are operating.

9. Perform any other steps required in manufacturer's instructions.

10. Check that water-flow through water motor gong is stopped to ensure that clapper of alarm check valve is properly seated.

11. Record static pressure (pressure on supply side gauge).

12. Perform internal inspections of alarm check valve when normal testing procedures indicate the need. Examine valve body for tuberculation and check freedom of clapper operation.

Replace clapper facings or resurface seat rings, if necessary.

F-2 Dry-Pipe, Deluge and Preaction Valves and/or Systems

Special Instructions.

In general, it is recommended that the servicing of these valves be entrusted only to personnel experienced in this type of system or qualified representatives of a sprinkler company. The work required by this procedure may cause the activation of an alarm and/or a supervisory signal. All precautions shall be taken to ensure that the building evacuation system is not activated during the testing of these systems or their peripheral devices. The field office manager and the control center or fire department that will receive the alarm and/or signal must be notified prior to the start of this work. The testing of the supervisory features associated with dry-pipe and preaction systems should be coordinated with the device testing.

Check Points.

1. Determine that legible manufacturer's maintenance instructions are posted in a convenient location near the valve.

2. The air pressure on each dry-pipe or preaction valve should be checked and the air replenished when necessary.

NOTE: It is necessary to watch the maintenance of air pressure on these systems carefully. If pressure is lost rapidly, requiring frequent pumping, the piping system should be inspected and made tight.

3. In cold weather, check the valve enclosure to ascertain that it is properly heated and the heating equipment is kept safe and in order.

F-2A Dry-Pipe, Deluge and Preaction Valves and/or Systems

Special Instructions.

In general, it is recommended that the servicing of these valves be entrusted only to personnel experienced in this type of system or qualified representatives of a sprinkler company. The work required by this procedure may cause the activation of an alarm and/or a supervisory signal. All precautions shall be taken to ensure that the building evacuation system is not activated during the testing of these systems or their peripheral devices. The field office manager and the control center or fire department that will receive the alarm and/or signal must be notified prior to the start of this work. The testing of the supervisory features associated with dry-pipe and preaction systems should be coordinated with the F-13 Guide Card. If drains are not piped to the outside of the building, take the necessary steps to prevent water damage during full flow drain test. The rate of discharge may exceed the capacity of floor drain. On preaction and deluge valves, the associated fire detection system must also be serviced (see Guide Card Nos. F-14 and F-15-A).

Whenever possible, the operation of the preaction or deluge valves should be tested by the initiation of the fire detection system using the appropriate simulated fire condition, i.e., heat or smoke. Preventive maintenance should be performed on the control valve (main supply) at this time since its functional purpose can be tested (stop water flow). (See Guide Card Nos. F-3 and F-4). Review the manufacturer's instructions.

Check Points.

1. Determine that legible manufacturer's maintenance instructions are posted in a convenient location near the valve.

2. The air pressure on each dry-pipe or preaction valve should be checked and the air replenished when necessary.

NOTE: It is necessary to watch the maintenance of air pressure on these systems carefully. If pressure is lost rapidly, requiring frequent pumping, the piping system should be inspected and made tight.

3. In cold weather, check the valve enclosure to ascertain that it is properly heated and the heating equipment is kept safe and in order.

4. Before and during freezing weather, all low point drains of dry-pipe systems should be checked and kept free of water.

5. Perform the 2-inch drain test quarterly by opening the 2-inch drain valve fully and recording pressure at the lowest point.

Special Note: Close the 2-inch drain valve and record the pressure at the stabilization point.

Notice whether pressure returns quickly or slowly. Maintain continuous record of drain tests. If recorded pressure when valve is wide open is similar to previous recordings and pressure returns quickly, it is normal. If the recorded pressure when valve is wide open is significantly lower or the pressure is slow to return when the valve is closed, there may be an obstruction in the waterway.

Check for partially closed valves to the sprinkler system. Check:

a. Water pressure

b. Local water flow alarm through bypass connection.

6. Check air pressure, latching mechanisms, automatic drip connections and general condition of the valve, and valve area. Observe operation of drains, valves, valve releases, pressure switches (supervisory air and control valve).

7. Observe operation of water motor gong, and other alarms or supervisory signals such as water-flow paddle alarms.

8. Perform internal inspections of alarm valves when normal testing or resetting procedures indicate the need. At such times:

a. Examine the valve body for tuberculation.

b. Check freedom of clapper operation.

c. Replace clapper facings, as required.

d. Resurface seat rings, as required.
