Fire Sprinkler System Installation FAQ's
Situated at the riser of your fire sprinkler system, the main drain serves as the outlet for all water used to tackle fires in your establishment. The primary objective of a main drain test is to gauge the water pressure of your fire sprinkler system. This test is also essential to detect any blockages that might impair your system or diminish water flow during emergencies. As per NFPA 25-2011 standards, the main drain of an automatic sprinkler system should be tested at least once a year.
Because of the life-saving nature of fire sprinkler systems, the only people authorized to install, maintain, and service these systems are licensed professionals like Alpha Fire Protection. The only institutions outside of licensed fire sprinkler system technicians that can touch the systems are fire officials and even then it’s only to run basic tests. Besides, when it comes to something as important as a sprinkler systems, the peace of mind that comes with knowing that everything was installed correctly is worth whatever money you would save by doing it yourself.
Unless you’ve received a state license to work on fire sprinkler systems, it is illegal for you to work on your own fire sprinkler system.

If you need to replace your sprinkler heads, please call a qualified company like Alpha Fire Protection to maintain the integrity of your fire sprinkler system.
A fire pump test evaluates the functionality of a fire pump, ensuring it can deliver water at the necessary pressure during emergencies. During the test, the pump is activated, and water is flowed through specific outlets, diverting and measuring it. Instruments record the pump’s pressure and flow rate, comparing these to design specifications. This routine test not only verifies the pump’s operational capability but also identifies potential wear or damage, ensuring optimal performance during actual fire situations.
