Air Testing Provision for FlameGuard® CPVC Fire Sprinkler Systems

FGAT-7-0114

Spears® FlameGuard® systems can be tested with Oil Free Air (OFA) at a
maximum of 25psi. This is not a substitute for the NFPA hydrostatic test of the
system, which is still required. This is to help contractors quickly test the system to
make sure all components are not leaking.

The following safety concerns must be followed:

1. Use eye protection and other appropriate safety equipment
2. Use only Oil-Free Air or Nitrogen
3. Use only regulated pressure with a 25 psi over-pressure relief valve

Follow NFPA requirements for System Acceptance Hydrostatic testing (see this
section in Spears® FG-3 Installation instructions).
