NFPA 25 requires a main drain test yearly for each water supply lead-in to a water-based fire protection system in a structure, for the purpose of detecting any change in the condition of the water supply. But if the only water supply is through a backflow preventer or pressure reducing valve, the main drain test must be done quarterly on at least one downstream system instead. And if any test shows a 10 percent loss in full-flow pressure compared with the original acceptance test, the cause must be investigated.
NFPA 25 requires an annual flow test of each pump assembly under three conditions: the no-flow (churn), rated flow, and 150 percent of the rated capacity of the pump. If the available suction supply does not allow flowing at 150 percent of rated capacity, the standard allows testing the pump to maximum permissible discharge. So a lower supply does not excuse the pump from testing, it merely changes the ceiling of what is tested.
Internal obstruction surveys are required by NFPA 25 every five years, but the standard states that earlier surveys are necessary when test results or observed conditions indicate that a higher frequency is required; in other words, findings from routine inspections, unusual discharge patterns, or changes in the water supply can shorten that interval.
Gauges used to measure air or nitrogen pressure in a dry system should be monitored weekly to ensure normal pressure is maintained, whereas gauges used to check water pressure should be evaluated quarterly. For freezer applications where gauges are located on both sides of the air line, the compressor gauge should also be checked to the gauge on the dry valve side on a monthly basis. If there is a discrepancy (the compressor gauge reads higher), the air line should be removed from service and transferred to the alternate line.
NFPA 25 requires that all valves be returned to the correct open or closed position after an annual trip test before the system is placed back into service. This is an easily overlooked step, but it is critical, because a valve left in the wrong position after the test can render the system inoperable, even though it just passed its test.
