Testing and Maintenance of Fire Sprinkler Systems

Fire sprinkler systems require regular testing and maintenance to ensure they are functioning properly and ready to operate in case of a fire emergency.

Testing:

• Monthly tests of individual sprinkler heads
• Annual flow tests to check the water supply and pressure
• 20-year internal inspections of sprinkler piping
• Weekly and Monthly tests of the fire alarm system and control valves

Maintenance:

• Keeping sprinkler heads free of debris and paint
• Regularly checking and maintaining the fire pump
• Replacing damaged or worn components
• Keeping accurate maintenance records

It is important to have a licensed fire protection contractor perform these tests and maintenance procedures to ensure the system meets relevant codes and standards.
