The C&H Fire Protection Winterization Program
Is your sprinkler system ready for the cold weather?
Freezing temperatures are right around the corner.
As winter approaches, your fire sprinkler
system can be vulnerable to the effects
of winter. The cold, hard facts are that
freezing temperatures can be a source
of serious problems. Freezing conditions
can cause extensive damage to your
sprinkler system and your property
and potentially result in costly, timeconsuming
disruption to your business.
Given the risks, it is highly advisable to
prepare your system in advance – and
then carefully monitor it throughout the
winter months.
How winter impacts your sprinkler system
Frozen water in your piping can cause
fittings and/or sprinklers to break. As
temperatures rise, frozen water melts
and begins flowing through the broken
sections of piping and fittings, possibly
leading to water-damage problems. If air
compressors are not working properly, or
if the amount of priming water required
for dry systems is not correct, you can
experience false trips of the system.
This can result in water flowing into the
piping when there is no fire. If the water
happens to flow into cold temperature
pipes, it will quickly freeze, causing
additional piping and fittings damage.
Clearly, these are winter weather
problems that you want to avoid.
Our Winterization Program. Simple and effective.
C&H Fire Protection can help you with
a cost-effective program designed to get
your sprinkler system through those long,
cold winters.
As a longtime leader in fire protection,
C&H Fire Protection understands
the importance of proper inspection
and maintenance of fire and lifesafety
systems. We take great pride
in our capabilities and the training and
knowledge that our people can provide
to help customers winterize your
sprinkler system. Under our Winterization
Program, C&H FIre Protection sprinkler
technicians can take you through a
checklist of important measures. We’ll
then leave the checklist with you,
enabling your team to perform similar
tasks once we have completed our initial
inspection and maintenance work.
Inspection and maintenance guidelines
Using our knowledge and experience, we
have developed a set of guidelines to
help reduce the risk of sprinkler system
freeze-ups. Our technicians use these
guidelines to support the customers we
serve through the C&H Fire Protection
Winterization Program. You can also
use them to perform your own future
inspections and maintenance.
