Remote System Test Valve Requirements
The remote system test valve (inspector’s test connection) should contain a UL Listed and/or FM
Approved valve (normally closed), which can be opened to simulate the operation of a sprinkler.
The remote system test valve (inspector’s test connection) should be located at the most hydraulically
demanding location in the release system. NOTE: Multiple restrictions on the remote system test valve
(inspector’s test connection) may slow the air decay rate and cause the system to respond slower than
required.
The remote system test valve (inspector’s test connection) should terminate with an orifice equal to the
smallest orifice in the releasing system.
The remote system test valve (inspector’s test connection) is used to ensure that water reaches the most
remote part of the system within 60 seconds.
