Run the NFPA 25 §13.4.5 dry pipe valve ITM on a tablet and record the 3-year full-flow trip test — tripping time, the water transit delivery time to the inspector's test connection, and the air and water pressures — on the report your AHJ asks for.
No credit card required
AHJs are adding the 3-Year Dry Pipe Trip Test to The Compliance Engine (Brycer) in rolling waves — one district sends notice, then the next one does. If you just got that notice, this is the report it's asking for: the NFPA 25 §13.4.5 dry pipe valve ITM, with the full-flow trip test's recorded values printed on the document. The standard behind it lives on our NFPA 25 page, and the broader water-based workflow on our fire sprinkler inspection software page.
NFPA 25 (2026 ed.) §13.4.5.2.2 requires a dry pipe valve trip test every year. Once every three years — and any time the system is altered — that test is a full-flow trip test: the control valve is fully open and the quick-opening device is in service, so the valve trips under the same conditions it would face in a real fire. §13.4.5.2.5.1 and .5.2 require the test's recorded values to go on the record — the tripping time, the time for water to reach the inspector's test connection, the initial air and water pressure, and the tripping air pressure.
When you run the full-flow trip test, Fire Inspect Hub captures the values the report has to show and prints them on the NFPA 25 report:
These are the tester's recorded values, per §13.4.5.2.5. Fire Inspect Hub prints them as entered — it does not compute or grade them.
Yes — the full dry pipe ITM: the monthly and annual inspection items, the quarterly priming-water and quick-opening-device tests, the annual trip test and the air-pressure supervisory alarms, and the maintenance items — each with its NFPA 25 code reference. The 3-year gas-leakage test (§13.4.5.2.9) for nitrogen and compressed-gas systems is on the checklist too — either 40 psi held for 2 hours with no more than 3 psi lost, or the gas source shut off for 4 hours with no low-pressure alarm.
Monthly external check, annual valve interior, and the auxiliary-drain sign — with a closed supervised valve flagged as an impairment (§13.3.1.2).
Trip test, 3-year full-flow trip test, quick-opening-device test, air alarms, and the 3-year gas-leakage test.
Interior cleaning, quick-opening-device upkeep, and auxiliary-drain draining at the trip test and heating season.
No — and it says so plainly. Every item carries its cadence in the label (monthly, annual, 3-year), but Fire Inspect Hub does not track when each valve's next trip test is due. That's yours to schedule. The software makes the visit and the report clean; the calendar is on you.
Preaction and deluge valves are covered for inspection today — the 5-year interior strainer, filter and orifice check. Their periodic testing sections aren't built yet. If dry pipe is what your AHJ is asking for, you're covered; if you need preaction or deluge testing, that's a conversation, not a checkbox we'll pretend exists.
If your AHJ uses Brycer — the Compliance Engine — Fire Inspect Hub cuts the re-keying. The finished report shows the recorded trip-test values, so you copy the required fields straight into Brycer instead of re-typing them from paper. (The CSV export carries the asset list — name, serial, location and compliance status — not the individual test values; those come off the printed report.) New to Brycer? See our Brycer explainer.

NFPA 25 (2026 ed.) §13.4.5.2.2 requires a dry pipe valve trip test annually; once every three years (and when the system is altered) it's a full-flow trip test — control valve fully open, quick-opening device in service. §13.4.5.2.5.1/.5.2 require the recorded values on the record.
Tripping time, water transit delivery time to the inspector's test connection, initial air and water pressure, and tripping air pressure — printed on the report as entered. Fire Inspect Hub does not compute or grade them.
No. The cadence is in the label (monthly, annual, 3-year); Fire Inspect Hub does not track when each valve's next trip test is due — you schedule that.
Yes — it cuts the re-keying. Copy the recorded trip-test values from the finished report straight into Brycer instead of re-typing them. The CSV export carries the asset list and compliance status, not the individual test values.
For inspection, yes (the 5-year interior check). Their periodic testing sections aren't built yet — dry pipe testing is covered; preaction and deluge testing is not.
