Standpipe Inspection & Testing
Standpipe Testing
For the sprinkler standpipe test, we send two of our technicians onsite for a three- to four-hour process. We use hydrostatic testing, which puts your standpipe under a controlled pressure level, to make sure that it can handle water flow without significant leaks. Our technicians are trained in all standpipe classes, making each standpipe test suitable to its size, whether it’s for a small office space or a multi-floor building.
Comprehensive Standpipe Inspections
In addition to the test, we also physically inspect the system and make sure that valves, connections, caps, threads, and other visible parts of the standpipe are in working order. Misaligned or corroded components can severely impact pressure and reduce the chances of your fire suppression system working properly during an emergency.
Standpipe Inspection Filing
After testing and inspection, we go the extra mile and file our results and findings to the appropriate authorities. We will also let you know when your next test is due, ensuring that you stay informed and safe from future issues.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CLASS I, II, AND III STANDPIPES?
A Class I is a system that provides 2 ½” hose connections to supply water for use by the fire department. Class II standpipes provide 1 ½” hose stations to supply water used primarily by trained personnel or by the fire department during initial response. Class III standpipe systems provide 1 ½” hose stations to supply water for use by trained personnel and 2 ½” hose connections to supply a larger volume of water for use by the fire department.
WHAT KINDS OF STANDPIPES DOES AAA FIRE PROTECTION OFFER TESTING FOR?
We test all kinds of standpipe systems – Class I, II, and III. Depending on the class size, our technicians will need to test different pressure levels to ensure that it can handle specific pressure criteria.
IS THERE A DIFFERENCE IN THE TESTING PROCESS FOR EACH TYPE OF STANDPIPE CLASS?
The only difference is the pressure levels applied within the standpipe. No matter your type of standpipe, you can expect our technicians to take around 3-4 hours to complete testing. We also look for any component degradation or corrosion, which can impact the pressure inside the pipe.
