3. Annually

• Provide all of the inspection services as outlined in the Quarterly and Semi

Annual inspections.

• Test operation of dry pipe valves In Accordance With (IAW) NFPA 25.

“Dry” trip may be done annually if “Wet” trip is done every three (3) years.

• Inspect the interior of each dry pipe and pre-action valve. Examine, clean and make any necessary repair to the valve. The cost of the valve repair is the responsibility of the FAA.

• Inspect all fire department connections IAW NFPS 25.

• Check all gauges with an inspector’s gauge IAW NFPA 25.

• Test all outside or open sprinkler equipment IAW NPA 25.

• Visually inspect all sprinkler pipe hangers and seismic sway bracing.

• Check to ensure a stock of required spare sprinkler parts are available and match the existing building systems.

• Test water flow rates through main test drain valve IAW NFPA 25.

Record pressure on FAA Form 6000-8 for both valves fully open and fully closed.

• Drain all low point drains in dry pipe and pre-action systems if necessary.

• Test automatic air pressure maintenance devices.

• Inquiry will be made to determine if a possible source of obstruction to the sprinkler piping has been introduced, if so, an obstruction prevention investigation must be undertaken IAW NFPA 25.

FIRE PROTECTION WATER BACKFLOW PREVENTION ASSEMBLIES

1. Annually

• Conduct a forward flow test at a test point downstream from the backflow preventer.

• Conduct a backflow performance test as required by the local authority having jurisdiction.
