WILL YOUR AUTOMATIC SPRINKLERS CONTROL A FIRE? The first automatic fire sprinklers were commercially marketed in the US in 1874. There have been minor advances in the basic technology since that time.
However, the governing codes and standards have become increasingly complex as a result of evolving occupancies, fires, new research and ever increasing public awareness. Properly designed automatic sprinkler systems control fire, reduce property damage, business interruption and save lives. However, this requires routine inspection, maintenance and testing as well as continual reassessment to assure success.
Concerns relating to the major components are discussed below. Consult NFPA 25 “Inspection, Testing and Maintenance of Water- Based Fire Protection Systems” or other appropriate codes/standards for detailed requirements. Sprinkler Heads Automatic sprinklers discharge water through an orifice when the heat from a fire fuses a thermal element. Once fused, the water impacts a deflector and is dispersed in circular pattern. Automatic sprinkler systems are designed to operate many heads simultaneously. In order to control or suppress a fire the heads must operate without delay.
Look for damaged deflectors, painted thermal elements, leakage, corrosion, physical obstruction, or older (obsolete) sprinklers. Test or replace heads if their reliability is questionable.
Control Valves Sprinkler control valves are provided for the purpose of shutting off water to the sprinkler system in the event of accidental leak or for system maintenance. Valves that are inadvertently left closed can impair a sprinkler system. Inoperable valves can result in significant water damage if they cannot be quickly closed.
Periodically inspect sprinkler control valves to insure that they are in the open position. Functionally test them to ensure that they will operate. Consider locking or sealing valves in the open position to deter against unauthorized tampering, particularly if they are accessible to the general public. Develop an impairment management program to ensure that any valve closures are monitored, that the number of impaired systems is minimized, that protection is restored promptly and that proper precautions are taken to prevent against fire when systems are impaired. Dry pipe, Preaction and deluge valves are designed to introduce water into the piping network after being tripped. Dry pipe valves are designed to operate when an automatic sprinkler head fuses and the system’s air pressure drops.
Deluge valves are used with open heads and operate when signaled by a detection system. Preaction valves, and related designs, employ both methods of activation. Periodically test all detection systems as well as devices such as accelerators and exhausters that effect riser control valve actuation.
Routinely trip test and maintain all dry pipe, deluge, and Preaction valves to ensure their proper operation. Piping Obstructed piping results in an impaired sprinkler system. Obstructions occur in cast-iron pipe as a result of tuburculation. Dry systems have the worst track record with corrosion, and galvanized piping is commonly installed to compensate. Obstruction can occur when foreign materials, or living organisms, are introduced via the water supply (e.g. Rocks, sediment, clams, microbiological induced corrosion (MIC), etc.).
Sudden failure can result in deteriorated pipe when systems are exposed to high flow and pressure during fire conditions. Galvanized pipe corrodes quickly at elevated temperature. Drains and inspectors test connections to ensure that system piping remains unobstructed. Dry pipe systems that use cast-iron pipe should have flushing investigations performed routinely. Periodically inspect freezer systems for ice plugs. Treat and inspect systems that are prone to obstruction/deterioration from MIC, Asian clams or zebra mussels.
Thoroughly investigate any obstructions promptly and determine the cause. This will likely require dis-assembly and/or flushing of all piping.
Flush the system by flowing water through the largest pipes first so as to not introduce large amounts of obstructing material into the smaller pipes. Adequate velocity is essential. In winter it is critical to maintain adequate building heat to prevent freezing. Check dry systems for proper piping pitch and drain drum drips routinely. Inspect dry pipe valve riser houses to ensure adequate heating. For older and suspect systems that have leaked or failed, conduct a hydrostatic pressure test to determine suitability for continued use. If testing cannot be performed, replace the system.
Water Supply The water supply consists of a source and a means of delivering adequate flow and pressure to the automatic sprinkler system. Sources include tanks, wells, lakes, ponds or rivers. Flow and pressure is supplied by gravity, pumps and in some cases pressure tanks. Large public water systems utilize a redundant combination of gravity and pumping and are generally reliable. However, uncontrollable changes may impact system adequacy. Sources, pumps, underground piping and valves are subject to impairments that could render an automatic sprinkler system ineffective. Perform flow testing in the vicinity of the automatic sprinkler system to assure that the design remains adequate.
Inspect and maintain control valves as outlined above. Flow test isolated underground main legs to ensure that there are no obstructions. Test start fire pumps frequently to ensure that they will start automatically. Flow test fire pumps to assure their continued performance.
In winter, routinely check heating systems in tanks and fire pump rooms to prevent against freezing. Treat raw water sources for clams, mussels and excess vegetation, and routinely clean suction intakes Reevaluate Sprinkler System Adequacy Continually reevaluate sprinkler system adequacy to ensure the systems remain capable of protecting property, reducing business interruption and saving lives. Reevaluate changes in occupancy, combustible load, storage configuration, products and processes. Apply the most modern codes and standards, and reassess the water supply for comparison to each sprinkler system’s calculated demand. We look forward to your business!

Fire Sprinkler Systems Fire sprinklers are widely recognized as the single most effective method for fighting the spread of fires in their early stages before fire can cause severe injury to people and damage to property. Head Fire Sprinkler Wet pipe Dry pipe Deluge Pre-action Fire pumps Hydrants Inspection and Testing Wet Pipe Sprinkler Systems A wet pipe sprinkler system is a sprinkler system employing automatic sprinkler heads attached to a piping system containing water and connected to a water supply so that water discharges immediately from sprinklers opened by heat from a fire.
Each sprinkler is activated individually when it is heated to its design temperature. Most sprinklers discharge approximately 20-25 gallons per minute (gpm), depending on the system design.
Sprinklers for special applications are designed to discharge up to 100 gpm. Page 1 of 8 Fire Sprinkler System Dry Pipe Sprinkler Systems A dry pipe sprinkler system is a system with automatic sprinkler heads attached to a piping system containing air or nitrogen under pressure. The release of this pressure (as from the opening of a sprinkler) permits the water pressure to open a valve known as a dry pipe valve and the water then flows into the piping system and out of the open sprinkler head. Dry pipe sprinkler systems are installed in areas where wet pipe systems may be inappropriate such as areas where freezing temperatures might be expected. Deluge Sprinkler Systems Page 2 of 8 Fire Sprinkler System The arrangement of deluge system piping is similar to a wet or dry pipe system with two major differences: A. Standard sprinklers are used, but they are all open. The activating elements have been removed so that when the control valve is opened water will flow from all of the sprinklers simultaneously and deluge the area with water.
The deluge valve is normally closed. The valve is opened by the activation of a separate fire detection system. Deluge systems are used where large quantities of water are needed quickly to control a fast-developing fire.
Deluge valves can be electrically, pneumatically or hydraulically operated. Pre-action Sprinkler Systems A pre-action sprinkler system is similar to a deluge sprinkler system except the sprinklers are closed. This type system is typically used in areas containing high value equipment or contents and spaces which are highly sensitive to the effects of accidental sprinkler water discharge.
The pre-action valve is normally closed and is operated by a separate detection system. Activation of a fire detector will open the pre-action valve, allowing water to enter the system piping. Water will not flow from the sprinklers until heat activates the operating element in individual sprinklers. Opening of the pre-action valve effectively converts the system to a wet pipe sprinkler system. In a pre-action system the piping is pressurized with air or nitrogen, monitoring of this air pressure provides a means of supervising the system piping.
Loss of the supervisory air pressure in the system piping results in a trouble signal at the alarm panel. Fire Sprinkler System Maintenance & Inspection Fire sprinkler systems are required to be inspected in accordance with NFPA 13. Our highly trained technicians can inspect and service all types of sprinkler systems.
Our software system will keep a record of when inspections are due so you never have to worry about being delinquent on required inspections. We can also provide training in the proper use and maintenance of your system so in a fire situation everyone will be prepared to respond appropriately. Page 3 of 8 Fire Sprinkler System Sprinkler Service with Fire Alarm Service Chances are your building has not just a fire sprinkler system, but a building fire alarm system as well.
The two systems are almost always connected. STAT Fire Suppression, Inc. Has the ability to inspect both systems in accordance with applicable NFPA codes.
Our fire alarm and sprinkler technician teams can save you time and money by eliminating the coordination problems that arise when dealing with multiple companies to provide service on both systems. INSPECTION An inspection is a visual examination of a water-based fire protection system, or portion thereof to verify that it appears to be in operating condition and is free of physical damage.
TESTING A procedure to determine the status of a system by conducting physical checks on water-based fire protection systems such as water-flow tests, fire pump tests, alarm tests, and trip tests of dry pipe, deluge, or pre-action valves. These tests follow up on the original acceptance test at intervals specified in the appropriate chapter of the standard NFPA 13. Fire Hydrant Testing STAT Fire Suppression, Inc. Can perform the required inspection and testing of fire hydrants located on private property as required by NFPA 13 (National Fire Protection Association) and AWWA M17 (American Water Works Association manual of water supply practices). Please see the information listed below for requirements and definitions. Hydrants shall be tested annually to ensure proper functioning. Each hydrant shall be opened fully and water flowed until all foreign material has cleared.
Flow shall be maintained for not less than 1 minute. After operation, dry barrel and wall hydrants shall be observed for proper drainage from the barrel. Full drainage shall take no longer than 60 minutes. Where soil conditions or other factors are such that the hydrant barrel does not drain within 60 minutes, or where the groundwater level is above that of the hydrant drain, the hydrant drain shall be plugged and the water in the barrel shall be pumped out. Dry barrel hydrants that are located in areas subject to freezing weather and that have plugged drains shall be identified clearly as needing pumping after operation. Flow Test.
Underground and Exposed Piping Flow Tests. Underground and exposed piping shall be flow tested to determine the internal condition of the piping at minimum 5-year intervals. (some jurisdictions require flow tests to be performed at three year intervals, check with your local AHJ). Flow tests shall be made at flows representative of those expected during a fire for the purpose of comparing the friction loss characteristics of the pipe with those expected for the particular type of pipe involved, with due consideration given to the age of the pipe and to the results of previous flow tests.
Any flow test results that indicate deterioration of available water flow and pressure shall be investigated to the complete Page 4 of 8 Fire Sprinkler System satisfaction of the authority having jurisdiction to ensure that the required flow and pressure are available for fire protection. Where underground piping supplies individual fire sprinkler, standpipe, water spray, or foam-water sprinkler systems and there are no means to conduct full flow tests, tests generating the maximum available flows shall be permitted. FIRE PUMPS Fire pumps are often a forgotten element of an automatic fire protection system. If a fire pump does not work, the entire system may fail. Stringent inspection and testing requirements are designed to prevent a pump failure that could be catastrophic. Our expert installation, inspection and service capabilities include the tools and manpower to support any fire pump in operation.
All functions of the fire pump controller should also be tested at least annually. After the tests are completed, you will get a test report describing which tests were conducted and settings of all time delay devices. The report will include test results for operation of the pump, driver and controller. A trending comparison of year-by-year results can show early indication of problems before they are really serious.
