Fire Lines

Underground Fire Line Installation

SMC Contracting installs underground fire lines for commercial, residential, and municipal projects in Palm Beach County and the surrounding areas. Fire lines are the dedicated underground piping that connects the water main to the property demarcation point, where the plumber or fire protection contractor takes over the connection to the building's fire suppression system.

Proper fire line installation is critical for building safety and code compliance. Our team handles the underground sitework scope, from the tap at the water main through to the property demarcation point, including all required valves, backflow prevention devices, and thrust restraints.

Our Fire Line Services Include:

• New Fire Line Installation: Underground installation from the water main to the property demarcation point, sized to meet the fire suppression system's demand.
• Fire Line Connections: Tapping into existing water mains for new fire line service.
• Backflow Preventer Installation: Installation of required backflow prevention assemblies for fire line systems, installed to the engineer's specifications.
• Pressure Testing: Hydrostatic testing of installed fire lines to verify integrity before system activation.
• Fire Line Repair & Replacement: Repair or replacement of damaged or aging underground fire lines.

All fire line installations are performed in compliance with local fire codes and water utility requirements. Contact us to discuss your project.
