List of Sprinkler Closeout Documents?

12/14/2018

What closeout documents should contractors supply at the end of a fire sprinkler installation?

The ones we typically expect to see are (1) as-builts, (2) test certificate for aboveground pipe, (3) test certificate for underground pipe, and then (4) warranty and product data for the owner. Are we missing anything?

Generally my closeout documents includes:
1) A binder of all approved submittals, documenting what we installed. This is more important for the sprinklers and various valves, but we give them everything.
2) An as-built package with the final calculations and assumptions used (expected water supply, etc.).
3) Test certificates
4) Warranty
5) A copy of NFPA 25. This is the "training guide" so that the owner is aware of the ongoing maintenance they are responsible for. Also helps sell a maintenance contract.

My closeout process also includes checking that all hydraulic placards and riser diagrams are posted as needed, and making sure all attic stock is in place.

Commodity Placard. NFPA 13 Chapter 25 provides a list of items. Most are rarely provided.
