Due to the nature of sprinkler alarm valves for the protection of lives and property it is necessary to service and overhaul the valves at least every 3 years in accordance to relevant standards.
ASIB rules 11/12th edition and NFPA 13/15/16 rules.
The service is to be carried out by a competent experienced technician.
An ASIB registered company utilizes original gasket sets supplied by the OEM complete with date and registration tag. Improvised gasket sets are not allowed as this compromises the integrity of the system and approvals of the valve.
