Fire Sprinkler Testing FAQs
Fire sprinkler testing should be conducted quarterly and annually to comply with local fire codes and NFPA standards.
No, smoke won’t set off any standard fire sprinkler. A smoke detector is intended to give a warning so you can react to a fire, hopefully, while it’s still small. Sprinklers are meant to douse flames, accepting water damage in exchange for safety and possibly limiting property loss; to that end, they only go off if the temperature suggests fire.
Different sprinklers work on different triggers. Some contain small bulbs containing a liquid that reacts to high temperatures; these are often color-coded so you can know how hot the temperature will need to be to trigger a particular sprinkler.
Fewer sprinklers essentially use heat-sensitive metal links, not unlike fuses in a fuse box, to trigger. Both mechanisms will only go off in response to high heat that indicates a fire.
It’s recommended to have a professional conduct fire sprinkler testing to ensure accuracy and compliance with safety regulations.
If your sprinkler system fails the test, a member of our team will identify the issues and recommend necessary repairs or replacements to restore functionality.
In most cases, fire sprinkler testing can be performed without significant disruption to your business operations. However, some tests may require temporary shutdowns for safety reasons.
