Understanding and Applying NFPA 25 - 8hr Course - Recorded

Format: Instant Access Recorded Course

CEUs: Based on 8 contact hours of training (see CEUs tab for details)

Course Description: NFPA 25 is one of the misunderstood and misapplied standards in use today. This course examines the scope and purpose of NFPA 25. Owner, AHJ, and contractor responsibilities are reviewed for issues such as accessibility, freeze protection, reporting, and safety. The issue of contractor and owner liability is discussed in detail. The layout of the standard is reviewed and the scope of inspections, tests, and maintenance is reviewed for major systems including sprinklers, standpipes, and fire pumps. The most common tests required by NFPA 25 will be discussed including main drains, valve operation, dry valve full and partial trips, pressure reducing valves, and others. Participants will learn to identify and apply testing procedures that will help ensure that systems function properly and assist in limiting the potential liability that comes with having standard testing procedures.
