A: Hydrostatic test after 12 years and every 6 after. Tagging the system would vary by state. Some twice a year and some none at all. Thank you

A: Hydrostatic tests are needed after 12 years, and every 6 years thereafter. As long as the cylinder passes the hydrostatic test, it can be re-certified.

System inspection to be in service will depend on local Authority Having Jurisdiction. Many states require a system inspection twice a year to be compliant but that will vary based on your location.

A: 12 year maintenance will require that all agent cylinders must be removed from the system, discharged, and hydrostatically tested as per the requirements of NFPA-17A. The cylinder should then be recharged in accordance with this manual and returned to service. You can find further guidelines within this technical manual.
