Dear Applicant,
The plans you recently submitted have been reviewed and approved by the Fire Department referencing the 2016 edition of the California Fire Code (CFC). Two inspections are required,
please contact us at the number below to schedule an appointment.
Hydrostatic Test - All new private fire service mains shall be hydrostatically tested at not less 200 p.s.i. for two (2) hours. Trenches may be backfilled only between joints; all joints
and thrust blocks shall be left exposed before testing. Once the piping pressurized, it shall not have the pressure increased or decreased during the duration of the test. Prior to
backfill, provisions must be made for placement of conduits for installation of fire alarm valve monitoring, if a fire alarm control panel is to be installed.
Final/Flushing Test - Underground mains and lead-in connections to system risers shall be flushed thoroughly before connection is made to system piping. The minimum rate of flow shall
be not less than the water demand rate of the system, which is determined by the system design, or not less than that necessary to provide a velocity of 10 ft/second, whichever is greater.
A hose of not less than 4” diameter shall be used for flushing; larger diameter or multiple hoses may be required to achieve necessary flow rate.
The Fire Prevention Bureau is currently open to the public from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. If you wish to discuss these plan check comments, please call during our business hours or contact
us by e-mail at the address below. Permit status can be tracked by logging on to http://www.buttecounty.net/dds and clicking Building Permits Status.
