Steps

  1. Identify all sprinkler piping in unheated or freeze-exposed areas (attics, parking garages, loading docks, stairwells, exterior canopies) requiring freeze protection per the original design
  2. Inspect heat-trace cable/tape for physical damage and correct coverage of the pipe run, confirming it's energized/functional during the heating season
  3. Test any low-temperature supervisory alarm to confirm it activates at its set point and transmits a signal to the monitoring station
  4. Confirm antifreeze loops used in lieu of heat trace are within their tested concentration range, cross-referencing the antifreeze test item
  5. Verify insulation on exposed piping is intact, dry, and uncompressed in sections that would otherwise create a cold spot
