• The building owner or their representative is responsible for maintaining the
fire protection system in proper operating condition.
• To ensure proper system operation, reference current, applicable local and
national fire protection standards, along with applicable building and fire
codes, for valve inspection requirements. The authority having jurisdiction
in the area may require these inspections on a more frequent basis. Verify
these requirements by contacting the authority having jurisdiction in
the affected area, and always refer to the instructions in this manual for
additional inspection and testing requirements.
• The frequency of inspections shall be increased in the presence of
contaminated water supplies, corrosive/scaling water supplies, and corrosive
atmospheres.
• Any activities that require taking the valve out of service may eliminate
the fire protection provided. A fire patrol is strongly recommended for the
affected areas.
• Before servicing or testing the system, notify the authority having
jurisdiction.
Failure to follow these instructions could cause system failure, resulting in
death or serious personal injury and property damage.
