There is no requirement to check pitch in NFPA-25. It is assumed that system 
was properly installed.  I would suggest if you feel there has been building 
settlement or some other reason you feel there may be a problem it makes sense 
to check but this would be outside scope of 25 inspection and should be 
qualified as such.

Subject: Dry Pipe System Pitch Inspection

Somewhere I remember seeing a requirement that the pitch of dry pipe systems 
must be periodically checked, like at a 5 year or 10 year interval.  When I 
went looking for it in 25, I could not find it.  Did I imagine this, or is it 
actually out there somewhere?
 
Thanks.
