What is the purpose of attaching a tag after testing a dry pipe valve?

The purpose of attaching a tag after testing a dry pipe valve is to show company and test details. This practice ensures that there is a clear record of the inspection, testing, and maintenance activities performed on the system. The tag typically contains important information, such as the date of the test, the name of the technician or company that conducted the test, and any findings or recommendations.

This documentation is crucial for maintaining compliance with local codes and standards, as well as for ensuring the ongoing reliability of the fire protection system. Properly tagged equipment provides essential information to both future inspectors and maintenance personnel, helping to track the system's history and inform any necessary future actions.
