Because of this issue I have added a requirement to my specs for the contractor 
to install a framed 11 X 17 diagram of the system with all of the valves shown 
and highlighted and mount it to the wall near the riser.

I made up a laminated sign to hang on the dry valve.

Brian,

Anything you can do to ensure the drum drips are attended to at the onset and 
during cold weather will be a benefit.  It’s the owners responsibility, so 
educating them will be the best way.

That said,  NFPA 13 section 29.6.1 requires the installing contractor to 
provide a general information sign….

The sign shall include the following information:  (14)  Location of auxiliary 
drains and low point drains on dry pipe and preaction systems

So, assuming the signage required on the riser since the 1999 or 2002 code 
cycle is there, I’m not sure another sign will help.

Subject: [Sprinklerforum] Dry System Aux. Drain

I have a dry attic system where in addition to a couple drum drips I also have 
(2) aux. drains per 8.16.2.5.3.3 (2016). What’s the best way to make sure these 
get drained before the system is put into service? I’m thinking of making an 
8.5x11 laminated print to put on the dry riser and note these (2) locations. 
Thoughts?

Thank you,
