]. Dry -Type Sprinkler Systems— Have constrictor demonstrate that both high and ❑ ❑ ❑ <br />low air pressure are supervised as required. The off -normal signal shall be initiated <br />when the pressure increases or decreases by 10 psi. <br />8. Supervised Valves - Close all electrically supervised sprinkler control valves to ❑ ❑ ❑ <br />verify supervisory alarm at the FACP within 2 turns of control wheel or, for post <br />indicator valve within 1/5 of valve control mechanism's travel distance. Then <br />reopen to verify "restore" signal. <br />9. Main Drain- Open the main drain valve, it should be able to be fully opened ❑ ❑ ❑ <br />without causing water damage. When the pressure stabilizes, note whether the <br />pressure dropped and stayed below the residual pressure on the calc plate. If it <br />does, there is a problem with the system. <br />10. Calc Plates- Hydraulic Design Information Sign (Calc Plates) shall be proved by the ❑ ❑ ❑ <br />installing contractor. The sign shall be weatherproof metal or rigid plastic secured <br />with corrosion -resistant wire, chain, or other approved means. Such signs shall be <br />placed at the alarm valve, dry pipe valve, pre -action valve, or deluge valve <br />supplying the corresponding hydraulically designed area. <br />The sign shall include the following information: <br />• Location of the design area or areas <br />• Discharge densities over the design area or areas <br />• Required flow and residual pressure demand at the base of the riser <br />• Occupancy classification or commodity classification and maximum <br />permitted storage height and configuration <br />• Hose stream allowance included in addition to the sprinkler demand <br />• The name of the installing contractor <br />11. Door Signs- Doors leading into rooms that contain controls for fire sprinklers shall <br />❑ ❑ ❑ <br />be identified with an approved sign. Approved signs shall identify fire protection <br />equipment and be durable martials, red and white in color, permanently installed, <br />and readily visible. <br />12. Valve Signs - All control,drain, and test connection valves shall be provided with a <br />❑ ❑ ❑ <br />weatherproof metal or rigid plastic identification signs, secured with corrosion - <br />resistant wire, chain, or other approved means. The sign shall identify the portion <br />of the building served and systems with more than one control valve that must be <br />closed to work on a system or space shall have a sign referring to existence and <br />location of other valves. <br />13. Caution Sign- A caution signs shall be provided with the following wording; <br />❑ ❑ ❑ <br />This valve controls fire protection equipment. Do not close until after fire has been <br />extinguished. Use auxiliary valves when necessary to shut off supply to auxiliary <br />equipment. CAUTION: Automatic alarm can be sounded if this valve is closed. <br />Fire Marshal's Office 14252576100 1 evereltwa.gov/fire I INFORMATION HANDOUT C-6 14.13,2020 1 Pi <br />
