ACCURATE ANSWERS EXPERT REVIEW
GUIDE
⩥ An Automatic Standpipe System is.
Answer: A standpipe system that is attached to a water supply capable of
supplying the system demand at all times and that requires no action
other than opening a hose valve to provide water at hose connections.
⩥ Auxiliary water supply.
Answer: supplementary source of water for a standpipe and/or sprinkler
system.
⩥ Control Valve.
Answer: A valve controlling flow to water-based fire protection systems.
Control valves do not include hose valves, inspector's test valves, drain
valves, trim valves for dry pipe, pre-action and deluge valves, check
valves, or relief valves.
⩥ Branch line.
Answer: A pipe system, generally in a horizontal plane, connecting not
more than
,one hose connection with a standpipe.
⩥ ___ is known as a Deficiency.
Answer: A condition in which the application of the component is not
within its designed limits or specifications.
⩥ Discharge Device.
Answer: A device designed to discharge water or foam-water solution in
a predetermined, fixed, or adjustable pattern.
⩥ What is a Dry Standpipe?.
Answer: A standpipe system designed to have piping contain water only
when the system is being utilized (No automatic water supply.)
⩥ ____ is commonly refereed to as Dunnage.
Answer: designing a raised series of beams (usually steel) bearing on
posts or bearing walls to support mechanical equipment (usually on a
roof
top).
⩥ Fire Department Connection.
Answer: A connection , normally on the exterior of the building, through
which the fire department can pump supplemental water into the
, sprinkler system, standpipe, or other system furnishing water for fire

Answer: A flexible conduit constructed with one or more reinforcements
(Jackets), with or without a coating or covering but with an approved
nonpermeable lining, or with an inner reinforcement between a
protective cover and an approved nonpermeable lining.
⩥ Fire Hydrant.
Answer: A valve connection on a water supply system having one or
more outlets and that is used to supply hose and fire department pumps
with water.
⩥ Fire Pump.
Answer: A pump that is a provider of liquid flow and pressure dedicated
to fire protection. A fire pump is a part of a fire standpipe system's water
supply and can be powered by electric, diesel or steam. The pump intake
is either connected to the public underground water supply piping or a
static water source (e.g., tank, reservoir, lake). The pump provides water
flow at higher pressure and volume to the standpipe system risers and
hose standpipes.
