The Findings Include:
During Document Review June 26, 2012, with Maintenance Staff, it was noted that there had been no 5 Year Internal Inspection done on the Sprinkler System. This condition could jeopardize the System with a build up of material to render the System inoperable. According to NFPA 25 (1999) 10-2.2* Obstruction Prevention. Systems shall be examined internally for obstructions where conditions exist that could cause obstructed piping. If the condition has not been corrected or the condition is one that could result in obstruction of piping despite any previous flushing procedures that have been performed, the system shall be examined internally for obstructions every 5 years. This investigation shall be accomplished
by examining the interior of a dry valve or preaction valve and by removing two cross main flushing connections.
