3. Fill complete pipeline with water avoiding any air column. (For this purpose keep the drain valve at the
highest elevation slightly open, while filling water when line is completely filled with water close the
valve)
4. By a pressure pump pressurize the line to an intermediate pressure, say 100 psi. Wait for 5 minutes;
check all major joints for any visible leak.
5. If the system is OK as per point No. 4 again pressurize the system to 150 psi and wait for 10 minutes
for any drop in pressure or leakage.
6. If the system is found to be leak proof as per item No. 5 pressurizes the line to 200 psi and keep for 2
hrs.
8.4. Flushing
1. Prior to perform the final Test of the internal fire hose reel and Fire Hose system a flush test shall be
conducted as follows,
2. Pull the hose reel or fire hose outside the building or inside the toilet area
3. Direct the hose to a free direction.
4. Open the valve.
5. Keeps water going for 2-3 minutes?
6. Continue the flushing till all debris is removed and clean water is coming out.
7. Close the valve.
8. Repeat the same procedure for all others.
9. COMMISSIONING PROCEDURE
9.1. Equipment/Instruments to be used
1. Adjustable Spanner.
2. Pressure Gauges.
3. Pipe Wrench.
The following are to be checked prior to handover of the Fire Hose / Hose reel System to the Clients/ End
Users.
1. All Fire Hose System Network and attached appurtenances subjected to system working pressure shall
be hydrostatically tested at 200 psi. (13.8 bars) and shall maintain that pressure without loss for 2
hours. Loss shall be determined by a drop in gauge pressure.
2. The piping system shall be flush tested to ensure thorough cleaning of the network piping. The
minimum flow rate shall be at least that necessary to provide a velocity of 3 m/ sec.
3. Ensure all the components of the fire cabinets are installed properly (landing valves, hose reels,
extinguishers & fire hoses).
4. Check pressure in all the floors by using special adapter with calibrated pressure gauge and note the
readings.
5. Open the lock shield valve of each hose reel and adjust its pressure to 3 - 4 bars through 1" PRV. The
water throw should be 6 metre. (Hose reel should be opened inside toilets or outside the building to
avoid any damages to other services).
6. Check all the fire extinguishers for its certification (inside pressure & hose connections also to be
checked).
7. A system functional test may be conducted as given below once the entire Fire protection system is
completed.
