PROCEDURES FOR DRAINING WET PIPE SYSTEM

1. TO DRAIN A WET PIPE SYSTEM THE PROCEDURE TO BE PERFORMED AND SUBMITTED TO THE

ARCHITECT, ENGINEER, AND OWNER'S REPRESENTATIVE SHOULD INCLUDE BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE

FOLLOWING.

1.1. CLOSE ALL SPRINKLER CONTROL VALVES.

1.2. TAG ALL CLOSED VALVES.

1.3. OPEN MAIN DRAIN VALVES AND AUXILIARY DRAINS ALLOWING THE SYSTEM FOR 100%

COMPLETE DRAINAGE.

1.4. WHEN THE WATER HAS BEEN COMPLETELY DRAINED, CLOSE THE MAIN DRAIN AND AUXILIARY

DRAIN VALVES. WHEN THE WATER HAS STOPPED FLOWING, CHECK ALL CONTROL VALVES TO

BE SURE THEY ARE TIGHTLY SHUT; ANY MALFUNCTION CONTROL VALVES SHOULD BE

REPAIRED AND/OR REPLACED IMMEDIATELY AS DEEMED APPLICABLE.

1.5. CHECK FOR WATER TRAPPED AT ALL LOW POINTS IN PIPING THAT LACK AUXILIARY DRAINS;

REMOVE DRAIN AND REPLACE SUCH PIPING.

1.6. ONCE ABOVE ITEM ARE CONFIRMED WITH 100% CERTAINTY THE CONTRACTOR SHALL

PERFORM ALL NEW INSTALLATIONS.

1. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS

A. THE CONTRACTOR SHALL ENACT MEASURES THAT SHALL BE TAKEN DURING THE IMPAIRMENT

TO ENSURE THAT INCREASED RISKS ARE MINIMIZED AND THE DURATION OF THE IMPAIRMENT IS

LIMITED.

B. THE CONTRACTOR SHALL NOTIFY IN WRITING TO THE ARCHITECT, ENGINEER, VA COR, AND VA

FIRE OFFICIAL OF THE PLANNED IMPAIRMENT, PROCEDURES DURING THE IMPAIRMENT,

TESTING RE-COMMISSIONING OF THE FIRE PROTECTION/FIRE ALARM SYSTEMS FOR

PROTECTION OF THE AFFECTED LOCATIONS WITHIN THE SCOPE OF WORK SUITE.

C. THE CONTRACTOR THROUGH THE VA COR SHALL PREPARE AND SUBMIT TO THE VA COR FOR

OWNER'S DISTRIBUTION TO THE EMPLOYEES IN THE AREA OF THE IMPAIRMENT SHALL BE

PROVIDED WITH INFORMATION ON ALTERNATE FIRE PROTECTION THAT WILL BE AVAILABLE.

D. THE SUSPENSION OF ALL NON-ESSENTIAL HOT WORK PERMITS UNTIL THE CONCLUSION AND

REACTIVATION OF THE FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM AND INTERFACING FIRE DETECTION

SYSTEM.

2. FIRE PROTECTION IMPAIRMENT PLAN

A. A FIRE PROTECTION IMPAIRMENT PLAN SHOULD BE DEVELOPED AND IMPLEMENTED BEFORE

AUTHORIZATION IS GIVEN, THE IMPAIRMENT COORDINATOR SHOULD VERIFY THAT THE
