Partial operational (trip) tests are required to confirm proper valve
operation; however, this test does not confirm full system operation.
Victaulic recommends performing the partial operational (trip) test
annually (at minimum). NOTE: The frequency of the partial operational
(trip) test must be increased in the presence of contaminated water
supplies, corrosive/scaling water supplies, and corrosive atmospheres.
In addition, the authority having jurisdiction in the area may require
partial operational (trip) tests on a more frequent basis. Verify these
requirements by contacting the authority having jurisdiction in the
affected area.
1. Notify the authority having jurisdiction, remote station alarm
monitors, and those in the affected area that the partial operational
(trip) test will be performed.
2. Record the water supply pressure and system air pressure.
