Fire Safety First

August 16th Is National Backflow Prevention Day! On this day we honor all the professionals who install, test, and maintain backflow prevention assemblies and cross connections here in our local communities and around the world. A backflow prevention device works to protect potable water from contamination or pollution due to backflow (when water travels in the opposite direction). In other words, this device allows water to travel only in one direction, keeping harmful chemicals, toxins, waste, and other contaminants out of our water supply! We'd like to express our gratitude to these professionals for maintaining our water supply safe & clean! 💧✅

In fire sprinkler systems, the proper application of dope and/or tape is critical to maintaining system integrity and ensuring reliability in a fire emergency.   Thread Sealant (Dope): Applied to the threads of fire sprinkler pipe and fittings, thread sealant, commonly known as "dope," creates a watertight connection that prevents leaks from occurring. Dope may not be suitable for PVC pipes due to chemical incompatibilities which can weaken the pipe.   Thread Tape (Teflon Tape): Often used alongside dope, Teflon tape is wrapped around the threads of pipe fittings to act as a lubricant and provide an additional sealing layer, ensuring a tight, leak-free connection. Teflon tape is especially effective in areas with high temperatures or corrosive substances due to its resistance to heat and chemicals. Additionally, tape also helps prevent galvanic corrosion and galling of threaded connections by acting as a barrier between dissimilar metals. Which Method To Use? Only tape  Only dope Tape first, then dope Dope first, then tape Dope, tape, then dope Tape, dope, then tape again... please don't actually do this ❌ .   Each method has its proponents, but the key in all methods is to ensure a reliable, leak-free connection to keep fire sprinkler systems functioning properly. Furthermore, always check the compatibility of the sealant before applying it to any threaded material.

🚨🚨Emergency Lights and Exit Lights🚨🚨 require annual testing as a critical aspect of building safety and emergency preparedness. Annual tests ensure that emergency lighting systems function during power outages or other such emergencies so that they provide illumination for occupants to evacuate safely. Testing Requirements 🔹 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: This step involves visually inspecting emergency lights for physical damage, ensuring proper installation, and checking for any obstructions that may hinder their operation. 🔹 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁𝘀: Functional tests are performed on each emergency light by simulating a power outage. This ensures that the lights activate as intended when power is lost and that they provide illumination as required. 🔹 𝗩𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜𝗹𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: It's crucial to verify that the emergency lights automatically activate when needed and that they provide adequate illumination to facilitate safe evacuation. 🔹 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗹𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝘂𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Emergency lights are typically required to remain illuminated for a specific duration, often 90 minutes, during an annual test. Confirming that the lights meet this requirement ensures that occupants have sufficient time to evacuate the building. Conducting annual tests on emergency lights is crucial for safeguarding the safety and welfare of all occupants within a building. This proactive measure not only ensures the reliability of emergency lighting systems but also instills a sense of peace and security for our clients.
