I thought the quarterly is inspection to verify physical damage 5.2.6 (2008) and semiannually is for testing waterflow and pressure switches, the same as 72.

We do limited trips on a quarterly basis and full trips once a year. Tom For those of you doing inspections, how do you handle preaction systems? 13.4.3.2.3 says that they should be trip tested fully open every three years similar to dry systems. We don't inspect a lot of preaction systems, but all of the owners have not let us do a full trip, they are afraid of water leaking out of the system on to their equipment.
