5.0 PERIODIC MAINTENANCE TASKS

REFERENCE MANUFACTURERS MANUALS AND FAA ORDER 6930.18 FOR DETAILED FAA

MAINTENANCE TASK PROCEDURES.

5.1 SPRINKLER SYSTEMS Reference Paragraph 402d.

Sprinkler Systems. Sprinkler system inspection, maintenance and testing are covered by NFPA 25, "Standard for the Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water Based Fire Protection Systems", latest edition.

5.1.1 Quarterly

a. Waterflow alarm devices will be checked quarterly according to NFPA 25

b. Test low air pressure alarms on preaction and dry pipe valves

c. Quick opening devices such as accelerators on dry pipe systems must be tested quarterly in accordance with the procedure in NFPA 25

d. Test priming water levels on dry pipe and preaction valves

e. Fire Department Connections

5.1.2 Semiannually

a. Test water flow rate through main test (drain) valve. Record pressure on FAA Form 6000-8, with valve closed and with valve fully open. NFPA 25 recommends that main drain valves be tested annually and after any work has been done on a sprinkler system. Main drain valves will be tested for wet pipe, preaction, and dry pipe sprinkler systems. The following procedure is recommended by NFPA 25:

1. Record the water pressure from the gage that shows incoming water pressure.

2. Close the alarm control valve on alarm check valves.

3. Check to see where the water discharge from the main drain will flow. Care will be taken to ensure landscaping, vehicles, or pedestrians will not be in the path of discharging water. Avoid discharging water on walkways during freezing weather.

4. Fully open the main drain valve.

5. After the flow has stabilized, record the water pressure while water is still flowing.

6. Close the main drain valve slowly.

7. Open the alarm control valve.

b. Test all water flow alarm devices. NFPA 25 recommends that water flow alarms be tested quarterly.

c. Test all alarm, supervisory, and trouble signaling devices and systems. NFPA 72 covers the maintenance, inspection and testing of alarm initiating and supervisory devices. Semiannual testing is acceptable for valve tamper and other supervisory signal devices.

d. Check condition of sprinklers. NFPA 25 recommends annual inspection of sprinklers. Check for:

1. Cleanliness

2. Free from corrosion and dirt.

3. Not painted or whitewashed.

4. Not bent or damaged.

5. Free from obstructions; no material must be placed or stored within 18 inches of sprinkler heads.

6. Properly rated.

7. Required spares available.

e. Test operation of deluge and automatic valves in conjunction with testing of alarm devices and systems. NFPA 25 recommends that the priming water level for preaction and dry pipe valves be tested quarterly in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions or as follows:

1. Open the priming level test valve.

2. If water flows, drain it.

3. Close the valve when water stops flowing and air discharges.

4. If air initially discharges when the valve is opened, the priming water level is probably too low. Add priming water in accordance with the manufacturer's directions.

5.1.3 Annually

a. Test operation of dry pipe valves. Clean and adjust as required. NFPA 25 recommends that both preaction and dry pipe valves be trip tested annually. "Dry" trip tests may be done annually as long as a full "wet" trip test is done every three years. Annually, the interior of each dry pipe valve and preaction valve must be inspected, parts examined and cleaned, and any required repairs made.

b. Check operation of sprinkler system that protects cooking equipment and ventilation systems. NFPA 96 recommends a semiannual inspection of extinguishing systems that protect cooking equipment. Fusible link activated sprinkler heads will be replaced annually.

c. Check and clean all sprinklers that protect cooking equipment and ventilation systems.

Clean other actuating devices.

d. Check all gages with an inspector's gage to ensure reliability NFPA 25 recommends that gages be replaced every five years or tested every five years with a comparison to a calibrated gage.

e. Test all outside or open sprinkler equipment. NFPA 25 recommends testing open sprinklers connected to a deluge control valve at full flow. Any plugged sprinklers or piping must be cleaned or replaced, and a visual inspection will be done of sprinkler pipe and fittings.

h. Conduct a main drain test (see procedure under Semi-annual testing).

i. Test freezing point of antifreeze solutions and add solution as needed.

j. Low point drains in dry pipe sprinkler systems must be drained after each operation and before the onset of freezing weather.

k. Automatic air-pressure maintenance devices must be tested annually if provided on dry pipe systems.

l. Inquiry will be done to see if a possible source of obstruction to sprinkler piping has been introduced. If so, an obstruction prevention investigation will be undertaken as outlined in

NFPA 25.
