1.8 MAINTENANCE
Note: The owner is responsible for maintaining the fire
protection system and devices in proper operating
condition.
Refer to MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS provided in
current Viking Technical Data describing individual
components of the Viking Preaction System used.
Where difficulty in performance is experienced, the valve
manufacturer or his authorized representative shall be
contacted if any field adjustment is to be made.
The following requirements are based upon NFPA-25:
Records.
Records of inspections, tests, and maintenance of the
system and its components shall be made available to the
authority having jurisdiction upon request. Typical records
include, but are not limited to, valve inspections; flow, drain,
and pump tests; and trip tests of dry pipe, deluge, and
preaction valves.
Acceptance test records should be retained for the life of the
system or its special components. Subsequent test records
should be retained for a period of 1 year after the next test.
The comparison determines deterioration of system
performance or condition and the need for further testing or
maintenance.
Monthly:
.1 Inspection of gauges (water supply and system
pressure) to ensure good condition and normal water
supply pressure.
.2 Control valve shall be externally inspected. The valve
inspection shall verify the following:
.a The gauges indicate that normal supply water
pressure is being maintained.
.b The valve is free of physical damage.
.c All valves are in the appropriate open or closed
position.
.d There is no leakage from the alarm drains.
Quarterly:
.1 Alarm Device (pressure or flow switch). (Testing by
opening the inspector's test connection).
.2 Full flow trip test: (isolation valve perfect for special
site condition such as freezing condition) to determine
if change in water supply or control valve position.
Semi-Annually:
.1 Valve supervisory switch shall be tested to verify the
operation of the switch upon movement of the hand
wheel.
Annually:
.1 Manual Pull station test
.2 Full trip test: Isolation valve perfect for special site
condition such as freezing condition .
.3 Deluge system shall also be tested for flow pattern.
.4 Record indicating the date of the last trip, tripping time
and name of organization conducting the test shall be
maintain at a location available for review by the
Authority having Jurisdiction.
Every 5 years:
.1 Test on gauge (gauge precision required: less than
3% of the full scale)
.2 Test on control valves operation.
.3 Main drain test.
