This document addresses the most common aspects of a fire sprinkler acceptance <br />tests, in cases where this document does not address a device or operation used with your system IFC, <br />NFPA, and/or Manufacturer Specifications will be used to determine testing criteria. <br />Hydrostatic Pressure Test PASS FAIL N/A <br />1. Scheduling - The contractor shall schedule for the inspection using eTRAKiT online ❑ ❑ ❑ <br />permitting portal. Inspection requests submitted online before 11:59 p.m. on <br />Monday -Friday will be tentatively scheduled for the next business day. <br />After an inspection has been scheduled, a member of the Fire Marshal's Office will <br />contact the contractor to schedule a time for the inspection. The contractor is <br />responsible for verifying that all piping and attached equipment to the system has <br />been under normal system operating pressure without evidence of leakage or <br />drop in pressure at a gauge for over a period of 2 hours. Example: Timestamped <br />photograph of pressure gauge. <br />2. Approved Plans - Approved plans on site? And all work completed per plans? <br />❑ <br />❑ <br />❑ <br />3. Unhook pump - Ensure that the hydro pump is unhooked from the system. <br />❑ <br />❑ <br />❑ <br />4. Street Pressure - The system pressure is at or above street pressure? <br />❑ <br />❑ <br />❑ <br />5. Closed Valves - Verify that there are not any closed valves between the gauge the <br />❑ <br />❑ <br />❑ <br />system being tested. <br />6. Plugs - Hydrostatically testing will be done with plugs installed in the fittings (Not <br />❑ <br />❑ <br />❑ <br />Sprinklers). <br />7. Leaks - Perform a visual inspection of the system to ensure the system is leak free. ❑ ❑ ❑ <br />8. Return Gauge to Zero - After verifying that the system has maintained the ❑ ❑ ❑ <br />required system pressure for 2 hours, release pressure and confirm the test gauge <br />returns to zero. (A gauge that does not return to zero could be an indication that <br />the gauge was pegged.) <br />9. NFPA 13 Report - Advise the sprinkler contractor that the NFPA 13 "Contractors ❑ ❑ ❑ <br />Material and Test Certificate for Aboveground Piping" shall be filled out and is <br />required for final approval. <br />Fire Marshal's Office 425.257.8100 1 everettwa.gov/fire <br />
