Fire sprinkler main installations are a standard routine for subsurface plumbing companies. The first step is obtaining permits with DEP and DOT. The DEP permit allows for the new water main to be connected to the city main. The DOT permit allows for the roadway to be excavated before the new pipe is installed. It also allows for the roadway to be paved upon completion.
The next step is to schedule the wet connection installation with DEP. The plumber must schedule accordingly and make sure the roadway is opened before the DEP arrives. The plumber will take the first day of work and excavate around the city’s main. Once the city main is exposed, it will be cleaned and prepared for the city to install the new wet connection.

The remainder of the roadway, sidewalk, and property will be opened for piping installation. The most important part of the job is to make sure the city installs the wet connection. If the wet connection is not installed, the water will not be released from the city’s main. If the pipe does not have water flow, the property will not have fire protection.
The new pipe will be ductile iron or copper, depending on the size of the pipe. All water main pipes that are two inches and smaller must be copper. All water main pipes three inches and larger must be ductile iron.
