Fire Pump Installation, Service & Testing

Stevenson Sprinkler

The fire pump is crucial to the fire sprinkler system of any building. Fire pumps are typically made with non-corrosive internal parts to avoid clogging from corrosion. To avoid cavitation and have a stable system pressure, the fire pumps are designed specifically for adequate water supply, with strict requirements. Fire pumps deliver water to the sprinkler in the event of a fire. NFPA and local fire departments require diesel and electric fire pumps to be run and maintained with accurate maintenance and testing records.
