Form 2 J PDF Details

The 2-J form, titled "Automatic Sprinkler Systems Contractor’s Material and Test Certificate for Aboveground Piping," encompasses a comprehensive checklist and documentation process critical for ensuring the efficacy and safety of automatic sprinkler systems in properties. It requires filling out after the installation or maintenance work on the sprinkler systems, chronicling the procedure from the completion of work to the final inspection and tests. This certificate is pivotal in confirming that the work adheres to the approved plans, utilizing approved equipment, and meets the standards set by local ordinances and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). It is meticulously designed to include detailed information about the location of the system, types of sprinklers, pipes, and fittings used, and specifies the standards those materials conform to. Furthermore, the form mandates the performance of various tests like hydrostatic, flushing, and pneumatic tests to ascertain the system's reliability and functionality. Additionally, it addresses the instruction provided regarding the new equipment’s maintenance and care, ensuring the responsible individuals are well-informed about the system installed. This form serves not only as a record of compliance and confirmation of the system's integrity but also provides a safeguard for property owners by clarifying that the sign-off by the owner’s representative does not waive any claims against the contractor for subpar work or materials. The dual signature requirement from both the contractor's and the property owner's representatives underscores the mutual acknowledgment of the work completed and the system’s status left in service.

FORM 2-J

Automatic Sprinkler Systems

Contractor’s Material and Test

Certificate for Aboveground Piping

Date: ________ Property Name: __________________________________________________________

Property Address: ________________________________________________________________________

Procedure

Upon completion of work, inspection and tests shall be made by the contractorÕs representative and witnessed by an ownerÕs representative. All defects shall be corrected and the system left in service before contractorÕs personnel finally leave the job.

A certificate shall be filled out and signed by both representatives. Copies shall be prepared for approving authori- ties, owners, and contractors. It is understood that the ownerÕs representativeÕs signature in no way prejudices any claim against contractor for faulty material, poor workmanship, or failure to comply with approving authorityÕs requirements or local ordinances.

Test Description

HYDROSTATIC: Hydrostatic tests shall be made at not less than 200 psi (13.6 bar) for two hours or 50 psi (3.4 bar) above static pressure in excess of 150 psi (10.2 bar) for two hours. Differential dry pipe valve clappers shall be left open during test to prevent damage. All aboveground piping leakage shall be stopped.

FLUSHING: Flow the required rate until water is clear as indicated by no collection of foreign material in burlap bags at outlets such as hydrants and blow-offs. Flush at flows not less than 400 gpm (1514 L/min) for 4-in. (102-mm) pipe, 600 gpm (2271 L/min) for 5-in. (127-mm) pipe, 750 gpm (2839 L/min) for 6-in. (152-mm) pipe, 1000 gpm (3785 L/min) for 8-in. (203-mm) pipe, 1500 gpm (5678 L/min) for 10-in. (254-mm) pipe and 2000 gpm (7570 L/min) for 12-in. (305-mm) pipe. When supply cannot produce stipulated flow rates, obtain maximum available.

*Measured from time inspectorÕs test pipe is opened.
