Standpipe & PRV Test

At Elite Sprinkler, we specialize in comprehensive standpipe and PRV testing services, ensuring your building’s fire protection infrastructure is always operational, compliant, and ready to perform when it matters most.

Why Is Standpipe and PRV Testing Essential?

Regular testing of your standpipe and PRV systems is crucial for several key reasons:

Life Safety: A well-maintained standpipe system ensures firefighters have immediate access to a pressurized water supply on any floor of your building, allowing for a rapid and effective response to a fire and protecting occupants.
Code Compliance: Municipal, state, and national fire codes, including NFPA 25 (Standard for the Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems), mandate regular testing. Failure to comply can result in fines, legal liability, and an unsafe environment.
System Reliability: Over time, components can corrode, gauges can fail, and valves can seize. Our testing identifies these issues before they become critical failures, guaranteeing the system’s integrity.
Reduced Damage and Downtime: A properly functioning system helps extinguish fires faster, significantly reducing property damage and the costly downtime associated with fire-related incidents.

Our Comprehensive Standpipe and PRV Testing Services

Our team of certified technicians provides a thorough, multi-point inspection and testing protocol to meet and exceed all industry standards. Our services include:

Standpipe Hydrostatic Testing: We perform mandated pressure tests to check the standpipe for leaks and confirm that it can withstand the required pressure, ensuring its structural integrity.
Flow and Pressure Testing: We conduct a full-scale flow test to verify that the system can deliver the required water volume and pressure to the topmost and furthest outlets, confirming PRV functionality.
PRV (Pressure Reducing Valve) Testing and Adjustment: We test each PRV to ensure it accurately reduces water pressure to a safe and usable level for a firefighter’s hose, preventing damage to equipment and ensuring operational safety.
Visual Inspections: A detailed visual inspection of all components, including Siamese connections, hose connections, caps, valves, gauges, and signage, to identify signs of damage, obstruction, or tampering.
Detailed Reporting and Documentation: We provide a comprehensive report detailing our findings, the tests performed, and any necessary recommendations. This documentation is essential for your records and for submission to the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
