The NFPA standard 25 entitled,
“Inspection Testing and Maintenance
of Water-Based Fire Protection
Systems” contains guidelines and
minimum maintenance requirements.
Furthermore, the local
Authority
Having Jurisdiction may have addi-
tional regulations and requirements
for maintenance, testing, and inspec-
tion that must be obeyed.
It is advisable to have sprinkler
systems inspected regularly by a
qualified inspection service. Length
of time between such inspections can
vary due to accessibility, ambient
atmosphere, water supply, and site
activity.
Do not attempt to reassemble or
otherwise reuse a sprinkler that has
operated. Replace any sprinkler
exhibiting corrosion or damage;
always use new sprinklers of the
same orifice, style, and temperature
rating as replacements.

attached to the sprinkler unit that
would disrupt the pattern. Such
obstructions must be removed. In the
event that construction has altered
the original configuration, additional
sprinklers should be installed to
maintain the protection level.
Do not attempt to replace sprinklers
without first removing the fire protec-
tion system from service. Be certain
to secure permission from all authori-
ties having jurisdiction, and notify all
personnel who may be affected
during system shutdown. A fire
watch during maintenance periods is
a recommended precaution.
To remove the system from service
mode, first refer to the system
operating guide and valve instruction.
Drain water and relieve pressure in
the pipes. Remove the existing unit
and install the replacement, using
only the recommended sprinkler
wrench. Be certain to match model,
style, orifice, and temperature rating.
A fire protection system that has been
shut off after an activation should be
repaired and returned to service
immediately. Inspect the entire
system for damage and replace or
repair as necessary. Sprinklers that
did not operate but were subjected to
corrosive elements of combustion or
excessive temperatures should be
inspected, and replaced if need be.
The
Authority Having Jurisdiction will
detail minimum replacement require-
ments and regulations.
Leak stopping products, such as
water glass, must NEVER be intro-
duced into a sprinkler system.
