Precision Testing for Safe and Compliant PRV Operation

Our technicians perform pressure-reducing valve (PRV) forward flow tests in strict accordance with NFPA 25 standards, which mandate testing these valves at their rated flow to ensure they function properly under real-world conditions. Using calibrated gauges, flow meters, and controlled testing procedures, we simulate actual fire scenarios by flowing water at the system’s design demand. This allows us to verify that each PRV accurately regulates downstream pressure and delivers the correct flow rate needed to support critical components such as sprinklers, standpipes, and hose valves. Throughout the process, we closely monitor for fluctuations, pressure drops, or any signs of valve malfunction that could compromise the effectiveness of your fire protection system. By identifying issues early and confirming reliable performance, our testing helps ensure compliance, safety, and optimal readiness in the event of an emergency.
