Fire Sprinkler Pressure Gauges

Accurate sprinkler gauges for dependable fire protection

Fire sprinkler pressure gauges are essential for maintaining a fire sprinkler system. High-quality gauges for fire sprinklers accurately measure water and air pressure readings to ensure a system is functioning safely and effectively. At QRFS, we supply UL Listed and FM Approved gauges designed for pressure measurement up to 300 PSI, helping you monitor adequate pressure at all times.

Our sprinkler air pressure gauges and sprinkler water pressure gauges feature durable brass or steel housings, clear dials, and temperature-resistant materials. Each pressure gauge for sprinkler systems is built to withstand demanding environments and provide precise readings in wet or dry systems.

Keep your fire sprinkler system compliant and working

Proper maintenance and control of fire protection systems depend on accurate pressure monitoring. That is why NFPA 25 mandates replacing or recalibrating fire sprinkler gauges every five years to ensure reliability. System owners often choose to buy new gauges instead of testing and recalibrating (if necessary) old devices, as doing so is time- and cost-effective. Regular replacement can prevent failure due to corrosion, wear, or inaccurate readings—helping building owners maintain a compliant and approved fire protection system.

UL Listed & FM Approved gauges for sprinkler systems

Our fire sprinkler pressure gauges are both UL Listed and FM Approved, meeting the highest standards for accuracy and safety. These products are available in multiple pressure ranges, temperature ratings, and sizes to match your installation needs. Whether you’re monitoring air pressure in a dry system or water pressure in a wet pipe network, QRFS provides options for common applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a fire sprinkler gauge used for?

A fire sprinkler gauge is used to monitor the pressure of the water or air within a fire sprinkler system. This allows fire protection professionals, building owners, and inspectors to verify that the system has adequate pressure to operate effectively during a fire. Gauges are placed at critical points throughout the system, such as at the risers and near check and control valves.

How often should fire sprinkler gauges be replaced, according to NFPA 25?

NFPA 25 requires sprinkler gauges to be replaced every 5 years or tested against a calibrated gauge. If the tested accuracy deviates more than ±3% of the full scale, the gauge must be recalibrated or replaced. Often, system owners just replace gauges every 5 years, as they are inexpensive and it’s more convenient than conducting testing.

What does “UL Listed” or “FM Approved” mean for a sprinkler gauge?

When a fire sprinkler gauge is UL Listed or FM Approved, it means that a nationally recognized, third-party laboratory has tested and certified a manufacturer’s gauge to meet specific standards for safety, accuracy, and durability under fire protection system conditions. These certifications are crucial for ensuring that fire protection equipment functions as intended.

What are some signs that a sprinkler gauge may be malfunctioning or needs replacement?

Some warning signs include obvious physical damage, leaks around the gauge, a fluttering or unstable pointer, an unclear or unreadable dial, or readings that are obviously incorrect when compared to system acceptance readings and regular readings at working pressure (especially when other gauges may read normal). Depending on the issue, it may indicate a problem with the system or a gauge-specific issue that requires replacing the device.
