DrainsThe construction team will install drain points at the low points of
the system to drain the system when needed and to avoid traps.Automatic Air Vents:
The construction team will install the automatic air vents at the
highest points of the system, risers, pumps and equipments
Connections with DN 20 inlet connection to release trapped air.
Hydro Testing:
a- The construction team will use ambient temperature water as atesting medium.
b- The construction team will check that, the air vents which
installed at higher point of the system are working to release
trapped air; also the drain points which installed at lowest points
of the system are closed.

working pressure for at least 2 hours to examine piping, joints,
and all connections for leakage. Eliminate leaks by tightening,
repairing, or replacing components and repeat hydrostatic test
until there are no leaks.
d- Prepare test report and call the consultant for inspection
PREPARATIONFlashing
a- Flushing is carried out methodically from the main fire water inlet to
The end of the main branches the system.
b- The isolating valves are installed at the drain points indicated to control
The drainage for flushing.
c- All the isolating valves at the drain points are connected to the nearestDrain point by means of hoses.
d- All the drainage valves and main valve are closed.
f- Fire fighting jockey pump is ready to operate to provide the pressured
Water for flushing.
METHOD FLUSHING
a- Operate the jockey pump to provide the pressured water to the system
b- Open the main valve to provide water to the sprinkler pipes
8/3/2019 Ayman Method Statements 2
12/15
c- Open the drainage pipes gently one by one to start flushing the system.
d- Thoroughly flush the section to be cleaned with fresh water to
remove any dirt, dross and debris from pipe work.
e- Carry out the flushing until the clean water appears at the drainagePoints.
f- Remove the valves installed at the drainage points and install the
Sprinklers to fill up the system again.
g- On no account should any part of the system be drained and left wet
for any significant time after cleaning, as this will promote rapid
corrosion and possibly necessitate a re-clean.Identification:
a- Valves: A tag with chain will be attached to the valve handle,
as will as marking the ceiling tile to indicate location of valve.
b- Piping: The construction team will apply colour coded tape.
