Standpipe 5-Year Hydrostatic Testing
Alltron Systems performs NFPA-required 5-year hydrostatic tests to verify that every standpipe in your building can safely contain and deliver water during a fire. Our certified technicians pressurize and inspect your system end-to-end, providing full documentation for fire authorities and insurance requirements.
what the 5-year hydrostatic test entails:
NFPA 25 mandates that every standpipe system undergo a hydrostatic pressure test at least once every five years.
This test proves the piping, valves, and connections remain watertight and structurally sound.
Full System Isolation & Preparation
We tag and isolate the standpipe from domestic water to protect connected equipment, then drain, vent, and cap as needed to allow safe pressurization.
Hydrostatic Pressure Test
The system is filled with water and brought up to 200 psi or 50 psi above its normal working pressure—whichever is greater—and held at that level for at least two hours while we watch for pressure drops, leaks, or other visible defects.
Control valves, hose valves, and pressure-regulating devices are carefully inspected for leaks or mechanical issues, and the fire department connection (FDC) check valves are confirmed to hold pressure.
You receive a detailed report with gauge readings, corrective actions, and digital photos, along with a compliance letter suitable for submission to local fire authorities and insurance carriers.
