B. Save the file to your computer, and open using Microsoft Excel.

C. Use STEP 1 – PIPE VOLUME CALCULATOR to determine the pipe volume (in gallons) of each sprinkler riser, using pipe lengths and sizes.

D. Use STEP 2 – INDIVIDUAL SPRINKLER RISER INFORMATION to enter the required information for each sprinkler riser:

  – Type of riser (preaction or dry-pipe)

  – Pipe volume (in gallons) – information from STEP 1

  – Supervisory pressure (in PSIG)

To make it easier to gather the necessary information for this step, see our Project Survey Form.

E. Use STEP 3 – OPTIONAL COMPRESSOR FOR PREACTION SYSTEMS to decide if an external air compressor for initial-fill with air makes sense for your system.

F. Use STEP 4 – SYSTEM CHOICE to review the chosen system and click for your deliverables.

 

That’s it – four simple steps and you are ready to specify, install, commission, use, and maintain a NITROGEN-PAC™ system.  Refer to the INSTRUCTIONS page in the file for more detailed guidance.  Start using this valuable tool today!

Did You Know?
  • Your dry-pipe or preaction system piping may look brand new on the outside, but what about inside? Residual water and oxygen in the pressurized air could be rusting the interior of that pipe right now. This rust can weaken the pipe, cause pinholes to form, and even clog up the sprinkler heads in the event of a fire. NFPA 25 – Standard for the Inspection, Testing and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems mandates internal inspection of sprinkler pipes at least every 5 years. Are your pipes rusty? Have them internally inspected by a qualified fire protection contractor before it’s too late.
