NFPA 13 – 2025 Revision Regarding Air Compressors

NFPA 13 – 2025 Revision Regarding Air Compressors

NFPA 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems, is in its revision cycle and the new edition will be released in 2025.  Section 7-10 will require that air compressors used with sprinkler systems be listed.  UNITED Fire Systems is pleased to announce that our air compressors assembled in PREACTION-PAC™ and SPRINKLER-PAC™ products, along with our Riser Mount Air Compressors Model RMAC-LP, are UL Certified to UL Standard 1450, Motor-Operated Air Compressors.  Our documentation has been updated to include this information.  Refer to these links:

Info Sheet – UFS-714 Rev 1.00 Compressor 00-100032-001 UL Certificate

Info Sheet – UFS-715 Rev 1.00 Compressor 00-100032-002 UL Certificate

Info Sheet – UFS-716 Rev 1.00 Compressors 00-100032-003 -004 UL Certificate

Data Sheet – UFS-709 Rev 1.03 Riser-Mount Air Compressors Model RMAC-LP

Specification – SS-RMAC-LP 1.01

Data Sheet – UFS-110A Rev 4.03 – PREACTION-PAC Gen 2

Data Sheet – UFS-110C Rev 4.02 – PREACTION-PAC Gen 3

Data Sheet – UFS-110E Rev 4.01 – SPRINKLER-PAC Gen 2 Dry-Pipe

 

At this time, it is not clear that the compressors used in UNITED Fire Systems NITROGEN-PAC™ sprinkler corrosion inhibiting systems will be required to directly comply with Section 7-10, since the Models SC-1, SC-2, and SC-W units are FM Approved as factory-built assemblies. We will be communicating with FM and others in the industry to clarify this question.

 

In the meantime, please refer to the above linked documents, and contact us if we can provide anything else.  Thank you.
