Any construction that has been done in the last year or. Penetrations
that did not affect pipes last year, could freeze this winter. Those areas
should be walked with a thermometer and checked. Pay particular attention to
“curtain” or outside walls where work was done.
-
Sprinkler work that is open to outside air penetrations:
o Loading docks
o Outside air
plenum rooms
o Roof mechanical
rooms
o Stairwells on
outside walls
o Fire stairs
that exit directly to the street
-
Please make sure all heat trace that is supposed to be working is in
fact pulling amps
o Cooling tower
lines
o Hose tank lines
-
All OA dampers should be air tight when closed
-
Some buildings may have to shut outside hose spigots (this could
apply to your home as well)
Remember, if a sprinkler system is in danger of freezing,
YOU MAY BE ABLE TO isolate a drain a portion of it (CHECK LOCAL CODES AND YOUR
LOCAL FIRE HOUSE), BUT YOU MUST NOTIFY CENTRAL STATION AND FDNY DISPATCH.
