Will your fire sprinkler system function properly when you need it most

1. Will Your Fire Sprinkler System Function Properly When You Need it Most? Do you want a commercial building with a well-maintained fire sprinkler system or do you want to leave your business without protection from fire? A firefighting system can reduce the damage to your company's property and assets caused by a fire. More importantly, it can save lives.

2. What is a fire sprinkler system? The basic components of a building's fire sprinkler system are: 1. A water source 2. Pipes for supplying water 3. Sprinkler heads are installed on the walls and roof Fire sprinkler systems supply water to the affected areas to control or extinguish the fire. We engineer these systems to cover the largest possible area where they can be installed. Fire sprinklers usually activate the heat, release water, and sound an alarm when the temperature inside is exceeded. Why do fire sprinkler systems sometimes fail?

3. Countless multifamily homes and businesses rely on fire sprinkler systems to function properly. Sometimes these systems fail, and it is important to know why. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) estimates that more than 600 sprinkler systems fail each year. The good news is that well-maintained fire sprinkler systems work more than 95 percent of the time and are very effective in suppressing most fires. When fire sprinkler systems fail, the most common causes are: 1. Voluntary intervention 2. Damaged sprinklers 3. System controls 4. Poor system design 5. Lack of proper care

4. You can easily avoid most of these problems by doing regular inspections of your fire safety system. The NFPA recommends conducting inspections on a monthly, quarterly and annual basis. Monthly Fire Sprinkler System Inspections Monthly Fire Sprinkler System Inspection should confirm the following: Appropriate valves are accessible, properly labeled, and free of leaks. Wet gauges indicate proper water pressure and are in good working condition. Dry gauges show normal water pressure and report the same pressure on the quick-opening device and the dry pipe valve.

5. Quarterly Fire Sprinkler System Inspections A quarterly fire sprinkler system inspection should include the following: Check Supervisory Alarm and Water Flow Alarm for physical damage. Check accessibility for all firefighting connections. Make sure there are no leaks on all connections to the fire department. Check the pressure reducing valves, make sure they are not leaking, and maintain a low pressure. Annual Fire Sprinkler System Inspections

6. In addition to all of the above items, the annual Fire Sprinkler System inspection should include the professional inspection of a certified code-compliance inspector for tagging and documentation. Every commercial property owner is responsible for maintaining adequate fire sprinkler systems for the safety of occupants and property protection.
