Fire Sprinkler System Repair Service

There are several reasons why a property owner would require NYC fire sprinkler installation or a combined water main. The most common reason would be if you are required to install a new main by DOB. In this case, you are most likely renovating the property or building from the ground up. The rules and requirements for installing new fire sprinkler mains are constantly changing. For this reason, we always suggest that you consult with your architect to determine the exact details your project is going to require. Once you have the details in place, the experts at Harris Water Main & Sewer can take over with quick, professional fire sprinkler system installation, fire sprinkler system repair, and fire sprinkler maintenance services in NYC for your company or home.

Depending on the size of your water main, you may be required to upgrade the size, even if it is an existing sprinkler main that has been in the building for over 50 years.

    Does Your Fire Sprinkler System Require a Tap or a Wet Connection on the City Main?

    If you are installing a new 2” copper main or anything smaller in size, you will be required to install the same size tap connection on the city main. This differs from a domestic water service, where the tap connection would be one size smaller than the pipe. In most cases, when installing a new 3” ductile iron sprinkler service or larger, you will be required to install a wet connection of equal size to the pipe unless approved plans state otherwise.

    Example: A 3” ductile iron pipe would require a 3” wet connection to be connected to the city main. The only exception to these rules would be if the contractor is repairing an existing 2.5” or 3” sprinkler main that was previously hooked up to a 2” tap connection. In this case, the contractor would re-connect back to the existing 2” tap on the city main. If you are uncertain what components your system requires, make sure you let the contractor performing your fire suppression system installation in NYC know beforehand. This way, they can give their expertise from the beginning. Get expert guidance on tap and wet connections!

    Our professional team specializes in sprinkler system installation and fire sprinkler system servicing, ensuring all city main connections meet the proper size and code requirements.

    What Is a Backflow Prevention Device & Why Are They Required?

    Backflow prevention devices prevent contaminated water or chemicals from flowing backward into the public water system from the fire sprinkler system. Certain types of businesses are more prone to contaminated water, and most buildings with a sprinkler system require a backflow prevention device. Backflow Prevention Devices are an essential piece of the “New York City Department of Environmental Protection’s Drinking Water Protection Program.” Backflow Prevention Devices are now mandatory under the “New York State Sanitary Code and the Rules of the City of New York” for any businesses that may serve as a risk to the public water supply.

    Protect your water supply with the right backflow prevention device. Our team specializes in fire sprinkler head replacement and backflow prevention system installation to keep your property compliant with NYC standards.
