Annual Wet Sprinkler
Inspections

An annual fire sprinkler inspection is a comprehensive examination of a building's fire sprinkler system to ensure it functions correctly and meets safety standards.

This inspection is crucial for the maintenance of a reliable and effective fire protection system. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), particularly NFPA 25, "Standard for the Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems," provides the guidelines for these inspections.

Here's what an annual fire sprinkler inspection typically entails, following NFPA standards:

Pipe and Fittings

The pipes and fittings are inspected for signs of leaks,
corrosion, or any physical damage. The inspectors also check for proper support
and alignment to ensure the pipes remain secure and functional.

Control Valves

All control valves should be inspected to ensure they are
accessible, properly identified, and free from leaks. It's also important to check
that they are in the correct open or closed position as per the system design.

Water Flow Alarm Devices

These devices are checked to ensure they are
operational. This might include testing the alarms to verify they signal correctly
during system activation.

Pressure Gauges

The inspection includes checking pressure gauges to ensure they are within the correct ranges and are functioning properly. Any gauges that are not functioning correctly should be replaced.

Fire Department Connections

These connections should be accessible and free
of damage or obstruction. Caps and gaskets are also checked and replaced if
needed.

Antifreeze Solution

For systems that use antifreeze, the solution is
checked for appropriate type and concentration.

Hangers/Bracing

The hangers and bracing that support the sprinkler piping are
inspected for integrity and proper positioning.

Internal Pipe Inspection

While not always an annual requirement, NFPA 25 does
call for periodic internal inspections of piping to check for the presence of foreign
organic and inorganic material.

Documentation Review

Reviewing the history of the system, including past
inspections, testing, maintenance, and any modifications or repairs.

Hydraulic Nameplate

The hydraulic nameplate, which provides information onthe design and capabilities of the sprinkler system, is checked to ensure it islegible and securely attached to the riser.
