Control Valves and Drains

Summary

A well-designed sprinkler system is a highly effective method of minimizing property damage from a fire. But simply installing a sprinkler system does not guarantee adequate fire protection. Proper maintenance and testing ensure that the system will function as intended and suppress the fire with minimal water damage.

A few key points:

Valves allow building staff to perform testing and maintenance on sprinkler systems.
It is extremely important that all valves and drains have proper identification.
Indicating valves visibly show when a valve is open or closed.
A leading cause of sprinkler failure is not returning a valve to its open position once repairs and/or maintenance are complete.

ISO has trained field staff to evaluate the design, installation, and condition of sprinkler systems anywhere in the country.

The following ISO reports include information on automatic sprinklers:
