The owner is responsible for the
proper working condition of all fire
protection devices and accessories.
The NFPA Standard 13A entitled,
“Care and Maintenance of Sprinkler
Systems”, contains guidelines and
minimum maintenance requirements.
Furthermore, the local
Authority
Having Jurisdiction may have
additional regulations and
requirements for maintenance,
testing, and inspection 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 re-assemble or
otherwise reuse a sprinkler that has
operated. Replace any sprinkler
exhibiting corrosion or damage.
Always use new sprinklers of the
same type and temperature rating as
replacements.
Because the discharge pattern is
critical to protection of life and
property, nothing should be hung or
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 may need to be installed to
maintain the protection level.
Do not attempt to replace sprinklers
without first removing the fire
protection system from service. Be
certain to secure permission from all
Authorities 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
instructions. 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 activation should
be 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
requirements and regulations.
