We just have our guys write the month and year in paint marker on the back when they put them in. If an AHJ wants more than something reasonable like that or the stickers you mentioned, ask them to direct you to the code requirement, or even just say "we can't find this in the code, can you help us understand what you want" and if it's reasonable, just do it, if it's not, back to the "show me".

In the 2014 edition of the NFPA 25 Handbook on page 153 after 5.3.2.2, it states that the 5 year period is based on the install date not the manufacture date. Try telling that to an AHJ! *Jay Stough* NICET IV LAYOUT NICET III ITM On Tue, Feb 16, 2016 at 12:39 PM, Charles G Key <[email protected]> wrote: > Where can I find the requirement for the date being printed on the gauge? > Some new gauges are coming out with only a sticker that you can write the > date on and put on gauge. > > > > C.Gregg Key SET > Key Fire Protection Enterprises,LLC > 3200 Mike Padgett Hwy. > Augusta, GA. 30906 > 706-790-3473 Office > 706-738-2119 Facsimile > 706-220-8821 Mobile > [email protected] > _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/listinfo.cgi/sprinklerforum-firesprinkler.org
