Which action is not part of a weekly inspection?

• A. Check gauges within normal readings
• B. Verify valve positions
• C. Repaint piping
• D. Confirm no obstructions

Answer: (C)

Weekly inspections are about confirming the system is ready to operate. Checking gauges within normal readings shows the system pressure is in the expected range and that there aren’t unexpected changes. Verifying valve positions ensures that critical control and isolation valves are set correctly, so water would flow to the intended parts of the system if needed. Confirming there are no obstructions makes sure paths to sprinklers and alarms aren’t blocked by debris or other objects. Repainting piping, while it's maintenance work, does not affect the system’s immediate readiness and isn’t something performed as part of a weekly inspection.
