Chapter 11
Flow testing
Uponor requires a flow
test after every AquaSAFE
installation to ensure the
system is installed properly
and to offer peace of mind
to all parties involved,
including the designer, the
AHJ (local fire marshal or
reviewing authority), and
the installing contractor.
Performing a flow test also
protects all parties in the
event any subsequent
modifications negatively
affect system performance.
Note: Although the NFPA 13D
standard does not require
flow verification testing, it
may be required by the
AHJ or local ordinances.
Before performing a flow
verification test, confirm
the water pressures by
contacting the water
and sewer department
of your local city. Ensure the available water pressure matches
the pressure used in the system design.
Note: The sprinkler plan indicates the most hydraulically remote
sprinkler (or pair of sprinklers). For test requirements on other
sprinklers, consult your local code.
Note: It is a good idea to notify the fire inspector at least
24 hours prior to performing a flow verification test. This may
speed up the inspection process and eliminate the need to
repeat the test for the inspector.
