Subject: NFPA 25 Second Draft TC FINAL Ballot Results (A2016 Cycle)
According to the final ballot results, all ballot items received the necessary affirmative votes to pass ballot with
the exception of those shown in the attched report.
35 Members Eligible to Vote
1 Not Returned (Mitchell)
15 Affirmative on All Revisions (w/comment: Drysdale, Frable, Huggins, Koffel, Larrimer, Leavitt, Ray,
Sheppard, Underwood)
19 Negative on one or more Revisions (Bosma, Clarke, Dagenais, Drysdale, Feld, Fox, Frable, Hopkins,
Huggins, Ketner, Koffel, Larrimer, Leavitt, Myers, Ray, Sheppard, Underwood, Victor, Webb)
0 Abstentions on one or more Revisions
The attached report shows the number of affirmative, negative, and abstaining votes as well as the explanation of
the vote for each second revision. Please note, Second Revision No. 61 failed ballot and as a result the text has
been removed from the draft to previous edition, if any. The item has also been changed to Committee Comment
No. 61, per our regs.
There are two criteria necessary for each second revision to pass ballot: (1) simple majority and (2) affirmative 2/3 vote. The mock examples below show how the calculations are determined.
(1) Example for Simple Majority: Assuming there are 20 vote eligible committee members, 11 affirmative votes
are required to pass ballot. (Sample calculation: 20 members eligible to vote ÷ 2 = 10 + 1 = 11)
(2) Example for Affirmative 2/3: Assuming there are 20 vote eligible committee members and 1 member did not
return their ballot and 2 members abstained, the number of affirmative votes required would be 12. (Sample
calculation: 20 members eligble to vote – 1 not returned – 2 abstentions = 17 x 0.66 = 11.22 = 12 )
As always please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

The ITM requirements for gauges have been relocated to 13.2.7 for all systems since gauges arecomponents that are common to many systems. These sections would be redundant andtherefore are being deleted. See SR 57 for the new section 13.2.7.

I agree with Mr. Leavitt that section 5.3.2.3 was inadvertently admitted when the gauge text was consolidated intosection 13.2.7. I believe it should have been placed at 13.2.7.4
Leavitt, Russell B.
It appears that 5.3.2.3 was inadvertently omitted from the 2nd revision draft. This section allows for the testing ofone gauge where multiple system risers are supplied from a common water supply source and the gauges readwithin 3 psi of each other. This needs to be included.

The document should provide requirements for ITM for a "system" and all items included in a particular system.

Providing gauges for all types of systems in one location (just like the committee did for valves) makes thedocument less user friendly and makes the document more confusing since the requirements are now"component" specific instead of system specific. Common components such as pipe, hangers, bracing, andsupports are addressed within “System” Chapters even though they are common to many systems. The standardshould be organized by systems with all components covered within the “system” chapter. Sprinkler systems,water spray systems, and standpipe systems basically use the same components. If all the typical components foreach system were placed in a common chapter, there wouldn’t be much left in the system chapters as they arenow organized. Look at the gauge requirements in Chapter 13. There is a monthly inspection frequencyrequirement in 13.2.7.1 to inspect gauges to make sure they are not broken and that “normal” pressure ismaintained and I am not sure how anyone is to know what normal pressure is when this is not system specific.Then there are subsequent requirements for quarterly inspections after the user is already required to do monthlyinspections for all gauges. Then there are inspection requirements for gauges monitoring air pressure in generaland for monitoring air pressure when used on a dry-pipe or preaction system protecting a freezer. These aresystem specific requirements and would be better written and explained in the system chapters.

This issue was originally identified by Larry Keeping and has my support: According to my (Larry Keeping's)notes, along with the rejection of this text, a new Section 1.4 was to be added to say: "Where specified, theprovisions of this standard shall be retroactive." Since the new 1.4 was not added, these Chapter 2 provisionsshould be retained.

No technical data to support this change.
Frable, David W.
We disagree with the TC that it should be the property owner’s responsibility to coordinate with the entityconducting the inspection, testing and maintenance activities to minimize any water damage caused by thedischarge of water. It is our belief that it is the entity’s responsibility to bring to the attention of the property owneror designated representative any concerns regarding possible water damage occurring due to discharge of waterand should also provide the property owner with recommendations to ensure water damage is minimized or doesnot occur. In addition, we are not sure how the term “coordinate” will be interpreted in the field and also believethis specific statement is unenforceable and will only lead to disagreements between the property owner and theentity conducting such activities should water damage occur. Lastly, it should be pointed out that the revised text
National Fire Protection Association Report http://submittals.nfpa.org/TerraViewWeb/ContentFetcher?commentPara...
15 of 220 2/17/2016 3:02 PM
refers to only the “owner” in lieu of the “property owner or designated representative” as currently used throughoutthe Standard. This lack of consistency in terminology may cause interpretation issues.
Hopkins, Mark
The original text in the first draft should be used. This change puts the requirement for coordination on the ownerrather than the ITM entity. The owner should be made aware or consulted to ensure precautions are made.
Koffel, William E.
I agree that the language from Chapter 13 in the First Draft should be moved to Chapter 4. However, thelanguage was revised by the Committee placing a responsibility on the owner for which many owners may nothave the necessary competency to address. The original language would be better but ultimately this requirescoordination between the person performing the test and the owner. While the owner may not know the impact ofa certain test procedure, the person performing the test may not fully understand the impact that unintendedexposure to water may have on equipment or materials in the area or the capability of existing drains.
Larrimer, Peter A.
Agree with the negative comments. The annex note does not appear to have anything to do with coordinating theITM tasks.

Water based systems rely on the adequacy and ongoing maintenance of drainage systems such as roof
drains, storm drains and floor drains during flowing water as part of testing systems. These systems are
often used for other purposes than fire system testing and are not part of the fire protection
system. They are often designed and maintained as part of building plumbing systems.

We disagree with the action taken by the TC to revise the subject section. As currently written, this section isconsistent with the scope and purpose of NFPA 25. However, it appears this proposed revision will broaden thescope and purpose of the document to require any deficiency or impairment to be corrected by the propertyowner. This broad based requirement is beyond the scope of NFPA 25 and therefore should not be accepted.

4.1.6* Changes in Occupancy, Use, Process, or Materials.
The property owner or designated representative shall not make changes in the occupancy, the use orprocess, or the materials used or stored in the building without evaluation of the fire protection systemsfor their system(s) for its capability to protect the new occupancy, use, or materials.
4.1.6.1*
As required by applicable building and fire codes, the property owner or designated representative shallconduct a review of the property to ensure that any changes specified in 4.1.6 have been identifiedand evaluated.
4.1.6.1
The review or identification of changes to the property or the evaluation required by 4.1.6 shall not beconsidered part of the normal inspection, testing, and maintenance required by this standard.
4.1.6.2*
The review of changes to the property and any subsequent evaluation shall consider factors that include,but are not limited to, the following:
(1) Occupancy changes such as converting office or production space into warehousing
(2) Process or material changes such as metal stamping to molded plastics
(3) Building revisions such as relocated walls, added mezzanines, and ceilings added below sprinklers
(4) Removal of heating systems in spaces with piping subject to freezing
(5) Changes to the storage method, arrangement, height or commodities
(6) Changes in water supply supplies
4.1.6.4*
Where the evaluation required by 4.1.6 reveals that the installed system is inadequate to protect thebuilding or hazard in question, the property owner or designated representative shall make the requiredcorrections.

Committee Statement
CommitteeStatement:
The standard already required the owner to evaluate changes prior to them occurring. Mandating aperiodic review of changes is redundant since the changes should have already been addressed inthe preemptive review/evaluation. An annual review is unnecessary for the majority of facilities thatdo not undergo changes that necessitate a review.Requiring a periodic review of building changes forevery building is not necessary. Some buildings, including office buildings. undergo limitedmodification, therefore requiring the review that was included in the First Draft would add a cost toproperty owners without adding a significant benefit. The language in section 4.1.6 is being returned

(RH) This requirement is NOT redundant. It would have helped catch the changes that are ignored today andNOT caught by the easily skirted current requirements. Considering a leading cause of failure is inadequatedischarge for the contents, this would do more to reduce failures than the majority of the existing requirements.Granted this requirement should be directed at occupancies with the potential to change but it is still a desirablerequirement.
Leavitt, Russell B.
I believe we are remiss by not requiring the owner to answer a simple questionnaire once a year regarding thestatus and use of the building. The argument that this would add costs is unfounded--answering the questionsrequire no special knowledge or investigation/evaluation by the owner. The fact is that without some "trigger" thevast majority of building owners have no idea that changing the physical layout of a building or its use mightimpact a fire protection system's ability to adequately perform.

There isn’t a complete list of recalled sprinklers that can be referenced by the inspector. Looking for recalledsprinklers in the spare sprinkler cabinet is not an effective way to determine if recalled sprinklers are installed in abuilding.
Clarke, Bruce H.
Wording is not truly enforceable as these are very hard to find and, many places have similar sprinklers that would berequired to perform detailed inspections when this should not be required.
Feld, James M.
If the contractor is capable of even "suspecting" that a spare sprinkler is on the recall list, then the contractor shouldbe capable of identifying other sprinklers in the building that are on the recall list. Otherwise. the owner is faced withadditional unnecessary expenses in hiring somebody (in all likelihood another contractor) to survey his system. I find itastonishing that contractors are not capable of identifying recalled sprinklers and other recalled equipment.
Fox, Timothy S.
Until such time that a database of recalled sprinklers is created and maintained, this should not be part of the code.
Hopkins, Mark
Although this is a worthy effort, the objective will not be achievable until a complete list of recalled sprinklers iscompiled.
Huggins, Roland J.
(JMF) The new Section 5.2.1.4.requirements are too difficult and the wording is not enforceable for field inspectors orInspection Company to assure accuracy. An example of this difficulty is demonstrate in this Second revision, SR #46(section NO A5.3.1.1) show examples of fast response sprinklers, one example is an Omega Sprinkler and yet wehave not identify it as a recalled sprinkler. I believe that these illustration have been in the appendix since 1998 editionand yet we have not corrected the situation. This new Section 5.2.1.4 should be held until we can do it correctly. IfNFPA 25 is going to make this requirement then the Committee should accumulate an accurate list and pictures ofrecalled sprinklers and publish them in the appendix of this document. (RH) Three additional items: 1- SayingSUSPECTED is poor code language and is ripe for abuse. 2 - Checking the facility should NOT be required becausesomeone suspected there might be recalled sprinklers. First step is to confirm it and then evaluate the facility afterdetermining the suspicion is accurate. 3 - Delete the discussion of how easy it is in the Committee Statement. Asstated in the Annex for older models, it may be beyond the inspector's expertise.
Ketner, Charles W.
Until there is a complete list of Recalled and Voluntarily recalled sprinklers it would be impossible for an Inspector tobe able to identify these sprinklers during a visual inspection. Spare sprinklers are not a reliable reference of thesprinklers installed throughout the building.
Leavitt, Russell B.
The word "suspected" is unenforceable. Not only is it unenforceable but it places an owner in the position of spendingresources to investigate an issue because an inspector "suspects" that a recalled sprinkler might be present. Thisplaces inspectors in the unenviable position of qualifying the word "suspect". The annex language actually createsmore issues than it solves.
Myers, Top
This requirement, though well intended is impractical to do until there is a published list of recalled sprinkler headswith guidance for inspector and owner to determine easily which products have been recalled. I find it interesting thatno entity such as UL, FM. NFPA, BOMA, Consumer protection is currently willing to maintain a list of recalled products.Why is that?
Ray, Richard M.
This issue continues to be raised and the same reasons that I have been against it before still exist. There is no

complete list of recalled sprinklers that can be referenced by an inspector OR an owner, AND the CPSC website lists 3or 4 different types of recalls so what does one base their decisions on? Also, some manufacturers no longer existthough they did manufacture heads that were recalled, so contacting them is impossible. And, most importantly, NOONE should EVER rely on what is in a spare head box - NFPA 13 & 25 only require that the heads in the spare box beof the same type as what's installed in the building (temperature rating, style, orifice size, etc.). Adding this sectionwould give building owners a false sense of security: the heads in the spare head box may be the correct types butwere made last year while the heads in the building are older and were manufactured with an O-ring (for example).
Victor, Terry L.
The identification of recalled sprinklers by the NFPA 25 inspector has been discussed during every cycle of NFPA 25.The new language proposed will not solve the problem of identifying recalled sprinklers. There are several reasonswhy trying to identify these sprinklers during a visual inspection is not practical or even feasible: 1. There isn’t acomplete list of recalled sprinklers that can be referenced by the inspector. 2. Individual manufacturers have somemodels listed on their websites, but some manufacturers that had recalled products are now out of business and nolonger have a website to reference. 3. The CPSC has a list of some sprinklers that were recalled, but others wererecalled by the manufacturer without the involvement of the CPSC. 4. Most of the sprinklers that were manufacturedthat need to be replaced weren’t part of a recall program. They were part of a voluntary replacement program andweren’t officially recalled. 5. Even if a complete list of recalled sprinklers were available with pictures for comparison,some of the sprinklers look identical to non-recalled sprinklers. Looking for recalled sprinklers in the spare sprinklercabinet is not an effective way to determine if recalled sprinklers are installed in a building for a couple of reasons: 1.The sprinkler in the box may not be the same exact make and model of those installed throughout the building. Theinstallation standard as well as NFPA 25 only requires that sprinklers of the same “… types and temperature ratings ofthe sprinklers in the property …” be in the cabinet. Therefore, the spare sprinklers don’t have to be from the samemake and model or even of the same manufacturer as those installed in the building. 2. Most spare sprinkler cabinetshave had sprinklers replaced over the years. The likelihood of having the original spare sprinklers in the box is veryslight, even if the originals exactly matched the installed ones. Finally, if they are complying with NFPA 25, the buildingowner should already know if there are sprinklers that need to be replaced in their building. Starting with the 2007edition of NFPA 13 and the 2014 edition of NFPA 25 the spare sprinkler cabinet requirement states “A list of thesprinklers installed in the property shall be posted in the sprinkler cabinet.” That list includes all the information neededto identify by manufacturer any sprinklers that need to be replaced. The building owner needs only to send that list toeach manufacturer to determine if they have recalled sprinklers.
Webb, Jason E.
As proposed, the language is not enforceable and regardless of intent, will not result in recalled sprinklers that havesomehow escaped discovery thus far being found. The sprinklers in the spare head box are not required to berepresentative of the make and model of sprinklers installed in the building. Even if they were, there is no “list” ofrecalled sprinklers to compare against. This proposal goes as far as recognizing that fact by exempting the inspectorfrom maintaining a list.

We believe this is good first step in addressing recalled sprinklers which may have been overlooked that maypotentially impact the performance of the water-based systems in buildings. Having the expertise of a “qualified” ITMContractor performing this inspection of the spare sprinkler supply will assist the AHJ and property owner indetermining if recalled sprinklers exist in a building and assure the performance of the water-based systems inbuildings within a jurisdiction is not negatively impacted.

A.5.2.1.4.1 For sprinklers manufactured after 2001, sprinklers should be able to be identified with assistance from the manufacturer based on the Sprinkler Identification Number (SIN) for the sprinklers. A recalled product is a product subject to a statute or administrative regulation specifically requiring the manufacturer, importer, distributor, wholesaler, or retailer of a product, or any combination of such entities, to recall the product, or a product voluntarily recalled by a combination of such entities. A.5.2.1.4.2 This standard acknowledges and accepts the fact that not all recalled sprinklers will be identifiable by the inspector. For the purpose of this requirement, the inspector might compare the sprinklers in the spare sprinkler cabinet against a list of recalled sprinklers obtained from the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). It is also known that distinguishing between some older models of recalled sprinklers and non-recalled sprinklers may be beyond the inspector’s expertise. The list of the sprinklers from the spare sprinkler cabinet could be sent to the manufacturer to ascertain if any of those on the list from the spare sprinkler cabinet might be recalled sprinklers as identified by CPSC. If any sprinklers are clearly identified as recalled, this section requires notification of the owner. A.5.2.1.4.3 Remedies for recalled sprinklers include entrance into a program for scheduled replacement. Such replacement or remedial sprinkler should be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and the appropriate NFPA installation standards.

This Comment is offered in conjunction with a related comment for a revision to a subject heading inthe Inspection portion of Table 5.1.1.2.This is an editorial matter, to bring the terms in Chapter 5 intoalignment with those of Chapter 10.
As per First Revision No. 24, Section 10.2.4.2 now provides the inspection requirements for“hangers, braces and supports”, but currently Section 5.2.3 and Table 5.1.1.2 only address “hangersand seismic braces”. Since there are often occasions when a pipe needs to be braced, but not forseismic protection reasons, (for example, as when column sprinkler piping must be braced to positiona column sprinkler a suitable distance from the web of a column), the more generic term “braces” ispreferred to the more specific term “seismic braces”. Similarly, pipe stands, (such as those supportinga valve header up from the floor) should also be inspected, the same as hangers holding piping upnear the ceiling structure.

The hydraulic design information sign should be inspected quarterly along with the control valves, pressuregauges, etc. If one is standing at the riser and looking at the control valve and pressure gauges, it takes only acouple of seconds to look for the hydraulic design information sign. Further, a missing sign is more likely to befound if it is inspected more frequently. Something that is lost for a year is more difficult to locate that if it were lostfor only a couple of months. A quarterly inspection for the mere presence of the sign is neither difficult nor costly.

The term “flow switch” is used when talking about vane type waterflow alarm devices, but a flow switch can alsobe used for a pressure type waterflow alarm device. They are both flow switches. Recommend that the committeeclarify the terminology for the next edition.

Leavitt, Russell B.
This is actually Section No. 5.3.2. When looking at the revision from the perspective of someone who does nothave the benefit of understanding the intent, these revisions are troublesome. I am concerned also that we havethe "cart before horse" in regards to the installation requirements found in NFPA 13. When taking the section as awhole, it could be interpreted that when testing a flow alarm utilizing a pressure switch that it can be done withoutthe use of a smooth bore orifice equal to the smallest orifice sprinkler on the system (5.3.2.3 and 5.3.2.4). NFPA13 makes no such allowance. Further, NFPA 13 does not address the installation of automatic testing devices. Ofcourse, this can be done under the the "equivalency" or "new technology" clauses but it does create potentialconflicts or misunderstandings where trying to address these devices or methods in NFPA 25. I also see noreason to include 5.2.3.4.1. Also, 5.2.3.4.1 uses the term "flow switch" while 5.2.3.4 uses "vane-type waterflowalarm devices" and NFPA 13 uses the term "paddle-type." These revisions would be better spelled out by issuinga TIA (if the committee feels that it is important enough to do so) that are better written and specific in regards toautomatic testing of waterflow alarm devices.

Annually, before the onset of freezing weather, the antifreeze solution shall be tested using the followingprocedure:
(1) Using the antifreeze information sign required by 4.1.10, installation records, maintenance records,information from the owner, chemical tests, or other reliable sources of information, the type ofantifreeze in the system shall be determined and (a) or (b) implemented if necessary:
(a) If the antifreeze is found to be a type that is no longer permitted, the system shall be drainedcompletely and the antifreeze replaced with an acceptable solution.
(b) If the type of antifreeze cannot be reliably determined, the system shall be drained completelyand the antifreeze replaced with an acceptable solution in accordance with 5.3.3.4.
(2) If the antifreeze is not replaced in accordance with step 1(a) 5.3.3(1)(a) and 5.3.3(1)(b) (b) , testsamples shall be taken at the top of each system and at the bottom of each system as follows:
(a) If the most remote portion of the system is not near the top or the bottom of the system, anadditional sample shall be taken at the most remote portion.
(b) If the connection to the water supply piping is not near the top or the bottom of the system, anadditional sample shall be taken at the connection to the water supply.
(3) The specific gravity of each solution shall be checked using a hydrometer with a suitable scale or arefractometer having a scale calibrated for the antifreeze solution.
(4) If any of the samples exhibits a concentration in excess of what is permitted by 5.3.3.4 5.3.4.6 , thesystem shall be emptied and refilled with a new acceptable solution.
(5) If a concentration greater than what is currently permitted by 5.3.3.45.3.4.6 was necessary to keepthe fluid from freezing, alternative methods for preventing the pipe from freezing shall be employed.

Section 5.3.2 just contains direction for sprinkler system gauges, whereas Section 8.3.3.2.2 wasadded by FR No. 86 to provide calibration requirements for conducting annual fire pump tests. Theaccuracy for the measuring devices used in the 5 year waterflow test should be comparable to thatfor a fire pump flow test and not just equivalent to the minimum level accepted on a sprinkler systemgauge. Additionally, the use of flow meters is becoming more prevalent in waterflow testing, and8.3.3.2.2 also speaks to the accuracy requirements for those devices, whereas Section 5.3.2 onlyaddresses pressure gauges.

This requirement is not consistent with other main drain test requirements.
Huggins, Roland J.
(RH) As identified in the Committee Statement, the accuracy for the devices used in the 5 yr flow test should becomparable to that of a fire pump flow test. The problem is that 6.3.1.6 is for the main drain test (6.3.1.1 is on the5 yr flow test) and 6.3.1.6.2 are gauges applicable to just the main drain test. This chapter should be consistentwith the requirements for the main drain test for all other systems and reference ch .13 Rejecting this SR will notcause a problem by simply reverting to the current reference to 5.3.2 (which has been deleted in chap 5) since theprocess allows us another step to correct such issue in rejected SRs.

Committee Statement
CommitteeStatement:
The submitter’s comments were valid and the Committee Statement did not bear on the issue thatwas forwarded.
As the standard current reads, since Section 7.3.1 only applies to piping that serves hydrants. Thereis no requirement to flow any other systems such as those that only serve individual sprinklersystems, standpipe systems, etc. Therefore there actually is no provision to take a user to Section7.3.1.2. To correct the problem the text “serving hydrants” should be deleted from 7.3.1, so that itsection would then apply to all private fire service mains.

Koffel, William E.
Upon further review, this potentially creates a conflict within the standard. There are flow test requirements atintervals other than every five years for private service mains serving systems other than hydrant systems. Theexisting annex note even indicates that main drain test connections are one way to perform the test. While thecomment referring to the need to refer to 7.3.1.2 may have some merit, main drain test procedures already resultin using the maximum available flow available via the main drain.
Leavitt, Russell B.
I am concerned that we have essentially returned to the 2011 requirement with an allowance to flow "all we can"where this is no hydrant or other means to determine flow. We got it right in the 2014 edition and should not returnto essentially what was required prior to that edition.
Victor, Terry L.
Requiring that all underground and exposed fire service main piping be flow tested every five years isn’t practicalto do unless a means is provided to perform the test. This change in language is putting the cart before the horseso to speak. Performing a flow test for underground supply pipes directly feeding systems in a building isn’trequired by the installation standards, either for new or existing buildings. The only flow test required and recordedin the building is the main drain test. Before including a new requirement like this in NFPA 25 the installationstandards should first require the installation of a means to perform a full flow test inside the building to verify thewater supply data and the hydraulic calculations. The installation standards then could require that the full flowtest be performed and recorded on the acceptance test form. That flow test can then be used for comparisonwhen performing subsequent flow tests as required by NFPA 25.
Webb, Jason E.
The committee got it right when they added the language “serving hydrants” in the 2014 edition. Reversing thatdecision now isn’t productive. There is no reliable way to comply with this requirement without hydrants. Theproposal that lead to this change in the 2014 edition summarized the issue adequately and is still accurate. It read“Section 7.3.1 requires flow tests to determine whether the piping underground is in good condition or not. Thetest requires three hydrants to be performed correctly, and even then, small differences in pressure readings dueto uncertainty in the gages produce large discrepancies in the C-factor calculation due to the exponential nature ofthe formulas being used. It is difficult, if not impossible to perform this test on any underground pipe not connectedto a fire hydrant, yet the committee refuses to put in an exception for underground mains with no fire hydrantsdownstream. While this test does help to find other problems with underground piping, those other problems canbe found through the performance of the other tests already required by NFPA 25.”

The language "without recirculating water back to the pump suction" was removed for dieselengine-driven pumps during the first draft. I believe it was the intent of the committee to alsodelete this language for electric motor-driven pumps.

The annual test shall be conducted as follows:
(1) The arrangement described in 8.3.3.6.1 or 8.3.3.6.2 shall be used at a minimum of every third year.
When a fire pump has multiple water supplies, each supply shall be tested independently at aminimum frequency of every third year.

Committee Statement
CommitteeStatement:
This item was included in a large FR with no clear substantiation for this particular requirement. Therelated PI and substantiation only addresses the specific situation where redundant, independentwater supplies are specifically required by building codes. The proposed language would requireeach water supply to be tested independently regardless of any intent at the time of the system'sdesign for each supply to support the fire pump independently.
As noted by Terry Victor in the ballot:
"This is one of those cases where there should have been multiple first draft changes recorded ratherthan to lump all of these changes together. One sentence in particular was added that has hugeimplications and should have been separated out from the rest of the changes: '8.3.3.6(2) When a firepump has multiple water supplies, each supply shall be tested independently at a minimum frequencyof every third year.' This is an unreasonable and unnecessary new requirement. In most situationsthere are multiple water supplies because they're needed to meet the system demand. It's veryprobable that when a single supply is tested the pump won't pass. In addition, there isn't asestablished baseline for these multiple tests since NFPA 20 doesn't require testing of each singlewater supply....This needs to be fixed in the second draft."

(JMF) This Section 8.3.3.6 refers only to Redundant water supplies. Not all secondary water supplies areredundant, some will not supply the fire pump, some are not capable of supplying the complete system demand.Chapter 8 is for Fire Pumps, not Water supplies and yet you cannot separate this chapter as well as most otherchapters from their water supplies. Secondary water supplies are mostly driven by Codes and not standards. Thetesting of secondary water supplies must be in accordance with the original intent design which may or may notinvolve redundancy. It may be time to expand chapter 7 to include all water supplies. I can sympathize with Terry’sposition because we are evaluating water supplies as well as the fire pump proficiency. This may be well beyondthe field inspector’s capability

if one of the water supplies is out of commission we need to know if building is protected.

In both 9.2.2.1 and 9.2.3.2 after "quarterly", add the words "prior to and". By changing this frequency frommonthly to quarterly, facilities may be 8 to 12 weeks into the heating season before this quarterly frequency rollsaround (by specifying "during the heating season"). To avoid any misconception, we should include the revisionsuggested in this comment to be CLEAR of the importance that the equipment if functioning properly going intothe heating season.

Committee Statement
CommitteeStatement:
This Comment is offered in conjunction with a related comment for a revision to a subject heading inthe Inspection portion of Table 11.1.1.2. This is an editorial comment, to bring the terminology inChapter 11 into alignment with that of Chapter 10.
As per First Revision No. 24, Section 10.2.4.2 now provides the inspection requirements for“hangers, braces and supports”, but currently Section 11.2.4 addresses “hangers, seismic bracesand supports” while Table 11.1.1.2 still calls up “Hangers/supports”. Since there are often occasionswhen a pipe needs to be braced, but not for seismic protection reasons, (for example, as when analarm test pipe or a trip test connection is brought down from a high branch line to an accessiblelocation nearer the floor level), the more generic term “braces” is preferred to the more specific term“seismic braces”.

This issue was originally identified by Larry Keeping and has my support: In the Second Draft, Table 13.1.1.2contains a number of editorial errors: - The reference for valve status testing should be to Section 13.3.3.4 in lieuof the reported 13.6.3. - The reference to valve status test should be in the section for control valves instead ofafter the references to hose valve testing. - A reference for hose valve inspections per Section 13.6.1 is missing. -References to Supervisory Signal Devices (except valve supervisory switches) per Section 13.2.8 are missing. -The references for the maintenance of preaction valves and deluge valves were not revised/split to call upSections 13.4.3.3 and 13.4.4.3. The previous reference to Section 13.4.3.3.2 was inadvertently retained.
Huggins, Roland J.
I'm expanding my comment to agree with others that there are additional correlating issues with the Table. Thisshould be an editorial change. (RH) The frequencies on inspection of gauges do not correlate with the changes to13.2.7 (SR-57). Also need to use the same format change as in Table 5.1.1.2 since there is a difference betweenmonitoring water and air.

With the movement towards water conservation to combat droughts, concerns over the discharge ofsprinkler water being treated as a pollution hazard and the realization that the introduction of freshwater and oxygen into fire sprinkler systems contributes to corrosion of the systems; alternativemeans of testing waterflow switches have been developed that do not introduce new or dischargeexisting water. If these alternative methods of testing are consistent with the automated testingrequirements, they are permitted.

This Comment is offered in conjunction with a related comment to add rows concerning the ITM forSupervisory signal devices (except valve supervisory switches) to Table 13.1.1.2.
Table 5.1.1.2 (and others) direct the user to Chapter 13 for the ITM of Supervisory Signal Devices(except valve supervisory switches), but the only comparable requirements in Chapter 13 arespecific to just low pressure switch testing for dry and preaction systems. There are no generalrequirements pertaining to other supervisory devices (ie. wet pipe system low or high pressureswitches, etc.). Therefore the proposed new text should be added in following Section 13.2.6, AlarmDevices as a new Section 13.2.7.
The existing 13.2.7 and 13.2.8 should be renumbered accordingly.
With this, the title of Section 13.3.3.5 also needs editorial revision, to be specific to valve supervisorydevices, which are the subject of that section.

(RH) 13.2.7.1.1 is suppose to have ended at DAMAGED (Delete - and that normal pressure is being maintained).This requirement was addressed by the new section 13.2.7.1.2 and 13.2.7.1.3. This also presents tworequirements within one section which we have been addressing.
Koffel, William E.
Paragraph 13.2.7.1 should end with a period after the word "damaged." The inspection for adequate pressure isaddressed by system type in subsequent paragraphs.
Leavitt, Russell B.
I agree with Mr. Koffel and Mr. Huggins comments.

A.13.2.7.1 The inspection frequencies identified in this section apply to all system and devices covered by this standard.
A.13.2.7.1.1 “Normal water supply pressure” could be a pressure reading that is too high or too low‐ relative to what would reasonably be expected to be found based on system design information, knowledge of the connected water supply, and/or reading data based on a series of past inspections. Normal pressure includes pressure expected to be found on a system to adequately supply the supplied fire sprinkler system. For example, a gage found reading a pressure close to or below a sprinkler system demand listed on the design placard would not be expected to be normal as, the system could have a water supply issue. Normal water supply pressure on a gage above an alarm or system check valve may be higher than that of a gauge below as a result of trapped pressure surges. This can be typical in buildings with trapped air and located close to metal deck roofs without air conditioning. Gridded systems also have a high probability of excess pressure development thus the reason, NFPA 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems requires relief valves on such systems.
Due to the high probability of a buildup of excess pressure, gridded wet pipe systems should be provided with a relief valve not less than 1⁄4 in. (6.3 mm) in accordance with NFPA 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems. It is normal, though, that the pressure above the alarm or system check valve is typically higher than that of the water supply as a result of trapped pressure surges.
A. 13.2.7.1.4 [NOTE TO PRODUCTION – ART RELOCATED FROM A.5.2.4.4] See Figure 13.2.7.1.4 Figure 13.2.7.1.4Refrigerator Area Sprinkler System Used to Minimize Chances of Developing Ice Plugs.
A.13.2.7.2 See the Water-Based Fire Protection Systems Handbook, 2017 edition, for additional guidance relative to potential procedures for the conduct of such testing.
Second Revision No. 28-NFPA 25-2015 [ Section No. 13.3.1.2.1 ]
13.3.1.2.1
When the valve is returned to service, a valve status test (either main or sectional drain, as appropriate)shall be conducted to determine that the valve is not closed.

This Comment is offered in conjunction with related comments concerned Section 13.3.3.4 andwith adding a new row to Table 13.1.1.2, to address Valve Status Testing.
The text of 13.3.1.2.1 in the general portion of Section 13.3 is redundant to the provision of13.3.3.4 in the Testing portion, so it should be deleted.
With that the corresponding Annex text A.13.3.1.2.1 needs to be deleted, but to save theguidance it offers, its text should be copied to become A.13.3.3.4 as reference information tosupplement Section 13.3.3.4.

With the system at normal system pressure, shut off the air source (compressor or shop air) for 4hours. If the low air pressure alarm goes off within this period, the air leaks shall be addressed.
13.4.4.2.7 Deluge System Pressure Readings.
13.4.4.2.7.1
Pressure readings shall be recorded at the hydraulically most remote nozzle or sprinkler.
13.4.4.2.7.2
A second pressure reading shall be recorded at the deluge valve.
13.4.4.2.7.3
These readings shall be compared to the hydraulic design pressures to ensure the original system designrequirements are met by the water supply.
13.4.4.2.7.4
Where the hydraulically most remote nozzle or sprinkler is inaccessible, nozzles or sprinklers in other thanfoam-water sprinkler systems shall be permitted to be inspected visually without taking a pressure readingon the most remote nozzle or sprinkler.
13.4.4.2.7.5
Where the reading taken at the riser indicates that the water supply has deteriorated, a gauge shall beplaced on the hydraulically most remote nozzle or sprinkler and the results compared with the requireddesign pressure.
13.4.4.2.8 Multiple Systems.
The maximum number of systems expected to operate in case of fire shall be tested simultaneously toinspect the adequacy of the water supply.
13.4.4.2.9 Manual Operation.
Manual actuation devices shall be operated annually.
13.4.4.2.10 Return to Service.
After the full flow annual trip test, the system shall be returned to service in accordance with themanufacturer’s instructions.

Committee Statement
CommitteeStatement:
When the requirements for preaction valves and deluge valves were split into two sections, therewere a number of items related to the deluge valve trip testing that needed correction orclarification. Specifically, the revisions are offered for the following reasons:
• The requirement to test the priming water was deleted because deluge valves do not requirepriming. It is only necessary for the air supervision of some preaction systems, to ensure the airdoes not escape the system.
• The requirements for full functionality and protection of equipment were moved to the beginning ofthe section since that information needs to be factored in as a prerequisite for any deluge valvetesting.
• The section renumbering was necessary to demonstrate the hierarchy of the testing requirements.As currently written in the First Revision, the requirement for an annual full flow test and theallowance for a 3 year frequency are presented on the same numbering tier/level, so it is not entirelyclear which is the primary requirement and which would be used as an exception to the base rule.
• Similarly, the section renumbering was needed to demonstrate the hierarchy for the requirementsfor the inspection of the nozzles during the flow testing.
• The text concerning air testing for nozzle obstructions was deleted because such tests are of novalue. There is no way to determine where/if there are any obstructions via such a test, if a nozzle isobstructed or a branch line is blocked on a deluge system, the air will just discharge through theother open nozzles.
• First Revision requirement 3.4.4.2.5 relative to protecting freezers was deleted, since that subject
National Fire Protection Association Report http://submittals.nfpa.org/TerraViewWeb/ContentFetcher?commentPara...
136 of 220 2/17/2016 3:02 PM
is not applicable to deluge systems. That text is only applicable to preaction systems.
• First Revision requirement 13.4.4.2.6 was deleted, because deluge systems cannot be supervisedwith air. That text is only applicable to preaction systems.
Additionally, with the renumbering that is offered in this Comment, the corresponding Annexsections require renumbering in the same fashion.

We agree with the TC that this section should be revised. However, the use of the terms “normal” downstreampressures and “normal” supply pressure seems inappropriate. We are unsure how the “qualified” ITM Contractorsperforming this inspection will know what the “normal” pressures are for a specific location. We believe that theuse of the term “normal” when describing pressures should not be utilized.

Committee Statement
CommitteeStatement:
This Comment is offered in conjunction with a related comment to add rows concerning the ITM forHose Valves to Table 13.1.1.2.
Upon review of the new Table 6.1.1.2 as per FR No. 27 it was observed that for ITM of Hose Valvesthe user is referenced to Table 13.1.1.2. However study of the new Table 13.1.1.2 per FR No. 37revealed that there is no Hose Valve direction offered by that Table.
Further investigation revealed that the only ITM for Hose Valves in Chapter 13 is in 13.5.6, which ispart of Section 13.5 for the ITM of Pressure-Reducing Valves and Relief Valves.
Looking back to the ROP for the revision cycle leading to NFPA 25-2002, the Committee Action onProposal 25-38 was to add new requirements for Hose Valves, but for some reason the text wasplaced in the middle of the requirements for pressure reducing valves and relief valves. Thisappears to have been just a numbering / editorial error, but it has persisted through the 2002, 2008,2011 and 2014 cycles. This error should be corrected now, for the next edition.

(RH) We should identify that this is renumbered existing text from 13.5.6 (although alluded to within the Title ofthe SR) That 13.5.7 Fire Pump Relief Valves is renumbered as 13.5.6 That 13.5.8 Maintenance is relocated to thenew section 13.6.3. since it references only the old 13.5.6 on hose valves. 13.6.3 would need to be reformattedwith section 13.6.3.1 (text from 13.6.3 in ballot) and 13.6.3.2 (text form current 13.5.8) This is not a technicalchange but simply part of the renumbered discussed in the committee statement.

The information added as part of the first draft provides specific requirements for air compressors, which isvaluable to owners and inspectors.
Ketner, Charles W.
ITM requirements for compressors dedicated to water-based fire protection systems are critical to the properoperation of a system. Too often compressors are not maintained properly or settings are adjusted without regardsto system operation. These issued could go undetected until a full flow trip test is conducted.

Deleting the inspection and test requirements for air compressors dedicated to water-based fire protectionsystems that were accepted during the first draft will make it more difficult for the inspector and waste time andmoney. The manufacturer’s instructions for these air compressors are seldom found or readily available.Throughout NFPA 25 the inspection, testing and maintenance requirements for other system devices andcomponents are included within the standard, even though every device and component came withmanufacturer’s instructions. Why should a dedicated air compressor be any different? The inspection and testrequirements described are consistent with those for other devices and components in the standard, consistentwith other requirements for air compressors in NFPA 25, as well as consistent with most manufacturer’sinstructions.
Webb, Jason E.
The committee got it right when they approved these very basic ITM procedures for compressors dedicated towater based fire protection systems in the first draft. These compressors serve an important role in the overallfunctionality of the system.

Committee Statement
CommitteeStatement:
The text in 14.4 was revised from “freezers and cold storage rooms” to “refrigerated spaces” (ie.maintained at temperatures below 32°F (0°C)), to align with the text of Section 7.9 of NFPA 13 toprovide better clarity. Not all cold storage rooms (ie. unheated pantries and coolers, etc.) are subjectto freezing. Just because a space is unheated (parking garages, attics, etc.) and temperatures canfall below 32°F should not become a trigger for ice obstruction investigations. This requirementshould only be applicable to “Refrigerated Spaces”.
Additionally, the First Revision text of 14.4.3 should be deleted because it is redundant to therequirement of 14.4.

Deleting the information would provide an incomplete list of tests and could have unintended consequences.Removal may be interpreted that the activities are no longer required.
Larrimer, Peter A.
NFPA 25 CANNOT extract information from other standards that reference earlier editions of NFPA 25. When theNFPA 101 Board and Care Committee or the NFPA 409 Committee selected sections of NFPA 25 to place intotheir documents, the selection was based on an earlier edition of NFPA 25. NFPA 409 is based on therequirements in the 2014 Edition of NFPA 25. NFPA 101 Chapter 33 is based on the requirements in the 2014Edition of NFPA 25. The NFPA 25 committee is now changing the requirements in this edition of NFPA 25. Thecommittee is extracting the material from NFPA 101 and NFPA 409 and referencing the NFPA 25 requirement tothe new paragraph locations in this edition. The change to the paragraphs would not in itself be a problem if theinformation in the new paragraph didn’t change. However, some of the paragraphs that were referenced in theolder edition of NFPA 25 have been modified during this revision of NFPA 25 and the Technical Committees fromNFPA 409 and NFPA 101 have not had a chance to review and approve or address the changes in any way.Therefore, the requirements for ITM in NFPA 101 and NFPA 409 can actually conflict with the requirements thathave supposedly been extracted due to the changes that have been made during this revision cycle. NFPA 25now has requirements that apply to NFPA 101 and NFPA 409 that have not had any consensus review and voteby the respective technical committees. If the NFPA 25 committee wants to insert the verbiage from the editions ofNFPA 25 that are referenced in NFPA 101 and NFPA 409, then they could extract the material from the olderedition of NFPA 25 and place it in Chapter 16 and add the older edition to Chapter 2 of NFPA 25. However, whatthe committee did in this case changes and conflicts with the requirements that are in NFPA 101 and NFPA 409without a vote from those committees. As an example, compare the requirement for water flow switches in NFPA101 2015 Edition to the requirements in Chapter 16 of this edition and you can see that there are technicaldifferences. While I understand the committee’s interest in pulling the information from other standards into oneITM standard, it is not being done properly and Chapter 16 should be deleted from the standard or the referencesin chapter 16 should be to the actual requirements that were voted on by the other technical committees.
Victor, Terry L.
Making modifications to an extraction from another document makes it no longer an extraction. There’s nothingwrong with referencing standards that directly affect the ITM and performance of a system or device, especiallywhen all the references have no conflict with NFPA 25. In other areas of NFPA 25 references to other standardsare made such as in section 1.1.1 (NFPA 72), Table 6.1.1.2 (NFPA 1962), 8.3.6.1 (NFPA 110), and 10.1.3 (NFPA15). Keeping the text as-is in the extracted table directs the building owner to other requirements that apply to thesystems being inspected, tested, and maintained in accordance with NFPA 25. To delete these references andrequirements will give the building owner a false impression that all the required ITM activities have beenperformed.

A.5.2.1.1.1
The conditions described in this section can have a detrimental effect on the performance of sprinklers byadversely impacting water distribution patterns, insulating thermal elements delaying operation, orotherwise rendering the sprinkler inoperable or ineffectual.
Severely corroded or loaded sprinklers should be reported as a deficiency or impairment as part of thevisual inspection and designated to be replaced. Such sprinklers could be affected in their distribution orother performance characteristics not addressed by routine sample testing.
Corrosion found on the seat, or built up on the deflector that could affect the spray pattern, or a buildup onthe operating elements that could affect the operation can have a detrimental effect on the performance ofthe sprinkler. Lightly loaded sprinklers or sprinklers having limited corrosion that does not impact the waterdistribution characteristics can continue to be used if the samples are selected for testing in accordancewith 5.3.1 based on worst-case conditions and if the samples successfully pass the tests. Surfacediscoloration that does not impact the performance of the sprinkler should not warrant replacement ortesting.
Multiple sprinkler operations within a facility without a fire might be a sign of exposure to excessivetemperatures, sprinkler damage, or excessive corrosion of similar sprinklers installed in that facility.Consideration should be given to replacing sprinklers that are considered representative of the operatedsprinklers.
Glass bulbs in sprinklers exposed to sunlight or installed in cold environments such as walk-in coolers andfreezers might lose or change their temperature classification color due to the environment. This loss ofcolor should not be confused with loss of fluid in the glass bulb. Tests have shown that this loss or changeof color in the bulb does not affect the operation or any other performance characteristics of the sprinkler,and these sprinklers can be allowed to remain in service. The tests also showed that when sprinklersinstalled in cold environments were subjected to temperatures above 60°F (15.5°C), the fluid colorreturned.
In lieu of replacing sprinklers that are loaded with a coating of dust, it is permitted to clean sprinklers withcompressed air or a vacuum, provided that the equipment does not touch the sprinkler.

Sprinklers should be first given a visual inspection in accordance with5.2.1.1.1 5.2.1.1.15.3.1.1.1 5.2.1.1.1 to determine if replacement is required. Sprinklers that have passedthe visual inspection should then be laboratory tested for sensitivity and functionality. The waterwayshould clear when sensitivity/functionality tested at 5 psi (0.4 bar) or the minimum listed operatingpressure for dry sprinklers.
Thermal sensitivity should be not less than that permitted in post-corrosion testing of new sprinklers of thesame type.
Sprinklers that have been in service for a number of years should not be expected to have all of theperformance qualities of a new sprinkler. However, if there is any question about their continuedsatisfactory performance, the sprinklers should be replaced.

Open the priming level test valve.
If water flows, drain it.
Close the valve when water stops flowing and air discharges.
If air discharges when the valve is opened, the priming water level could be too low. To addpriming water, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions.

In accordance with the edits and renumbering proposed by PC-112, the guidance for testing thepriming water must be deleted because because deluge valves do not require priming. It is onlynecessary for the air supervision of some preaction systems, to ensure the air does not escape thesystem.

A.13.4.4.2.3.1
It is necessary that the full flow test incorporate the full functionality of the system, which would includeany solenoid valves or other actuation devices. It was a common practice in the past to test the detectionsystem or manual pull station up to the solenoid valve or actuator and to separately test the deluge valveand system after the solenoid valve or actuator. The detectors on the system can be tested separately aslong as the functional test includes activation of the actuator or solenoid when it receives an actual orsimulated signal.

Even though this is annex material, the Committee has little to no control over what is written in the Handbook.What happens if the majority of the Committee disagrees with something that is written in the Handbook. It wouldbe better if the Handbook material were included in the annex section.

New NFPA 25 Annex F Connectivity and Data Collection
Last Modified 07/31/2015
F.1 -- Scope
F.1.1 This annex covers considerations relating to collection of Inspection, Test and Maintenance and monitoring data.
F.1.2 Potential use of accessible information includes remote supervision, remote monitoring that may include specific components for failure forecasting / component replacement, reliability analysis for owner, manufacturer, and NFPA or similar group for obtaining information only. No remote operation nor remote changing of any fire pump controller settings should be permitted.
F.1.3 Connectivity is for remote monitoring and data gathering. It does not replace any of the alarm and signaling requirements of this or other standards.
F.1.4 This annex is intended to be complementary to the Annex D Connectivity in the NFPA Stationary Pumps for Fire Protection Applications – 2016 Edition, and relies on Annex D for common concerns and elements.
F.1.5 While none of the clauses in this Annex are enforceable, future editions of this standard may incorporate requirements for connectivity and data collection into the enforceable portion of this standard. Public review and comment is encouraged.
F.2.8 IP. Internet Protocol – See NFPA 20 Annex D
F.3 -- Possible Configurations
F.3.1 Standalone Laptop Computers, Tablets, Smart Cell Phones
F.3.1.1 The devices could be provided with software or connected to a control panel to download data, They could be used to enter data manually, or connected to data recording equipment.
F.3.2 Control Panels
F.3.2.1 These devices could have direct access to a network. The network could be local WAN or internet.
F.3.2.1 These devices could also be standalone and require a direct connection to download data.
F.3.1.2 Data collection capability is almost universal in modern fire pump controllers. Manual (user) intervention is required to access (read or download)
F.3.1.3 User Connection. See Annex D NFPA 20.
F.4 -- Security Concerns: See Annex D NFPA 20
F.5 Recommended Requirements
F.5.1 Separate access protocols should be used for the following access levels:
F.5.1.1 Read only access to performance information for user benefit – Level 1
F.5.1.2 Access for statistical analysis by independent body. Information that allows identification of the user should be transformed to conceal user’s identify and provide GPS location that identifies latitude and Longitude within 100 miles – Level
2a
F.5.1.3 Access for manufacturer analysis, with owner’s permission – Level 1
F.5.1.4 Access for manufacturer analysis, without owners permission- Information that allows identification of the user should be transformed to conceal user’s identify and provide GPS location that identifies latitude, State, and Longitude within 100 miles –Level 2b
F.5.1.4 Access for manufacturer analysis – control panel – Level 2c
F.5.1.6 Access for remote testing – Level 2d with alarm to be triggered if control panel is not restored to automatic mode within eight hours.
F.5.2 Information Recorded for External Access
