Fire sprinkler systems save lives and property, but only if they're inspected and tested on schedule. NFPA 25 defines the required intervals for commercial properties in Oklahoma. Here's a clear breakdown.
Every quarter, a licensed technician visually inspects control valves, tamper switches, alarm devices, and fire department connections. These are visual checks — no water is discharged.
Quarterly inspections catch problems like closed valves, missing FDC caps, and obstructed access before they become serious impairments.
Annually, the technician performs a main drain test (verifying water supply pressure and flow), a waterflow alarm test (confirming the alarm activates), and a full visual inspection of all sprinkler heads.
These tests physically exercise the system and produce the documentation your fire marshal and insurance carrier require.
Every 5 years, NFPA 25 requires an internal inspection of piping and a sprinkler head sample to check for corrosion, obstruction, and debris. This is a more invasive inspection that may require opening selected pipe sections.
Oklahoma enforces this 5-year requirement, and it must be documented like all other NFPA 25 tests.
