Annual Inspections
The Ontario Fire Code requires that you inspect your fire sprinkler system each year.
General overview:
- Visually inspect for proper installation and any apparent changes, alterations, additions or damage.
- Visually inspect operation/condition of all valves, gauges, piping, bracing, sprinklers, mechanical and electrical alarms, pumps and all other associated hardware.
- Wet system water flow alarm using the inspector’s test connection.
- Wet system main drain water flow.
- Dry system trip test with the control valve partially open.
- Drain dry system auxiliary low point drains before each winter.
Additional Testing
The Fire Code also requires regular visual inspection and detailed, internal inspection of your fire sprinkler at various intervals. For example every 5 years:
- Sprinkler system—extra-high temperature/corrosive atmosphere.
- Standpipe—full-flow test from a remote point.
- Manual/dry standpipes—hydrostatic test.
- Full-flow hose connection pressure reducing valves.
- Hydrostatic—Siamese connections.
