GUARANTEED PASS
Automatic Standpipe System - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ 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 - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ supplementary
source of water for a standpipe and/or sprinkler system.
Control Valve - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ 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 - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ A pipe system, generally in a
horizontal plane, connecting not more than
one hose connection with a standpipe.
Deficiency - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ A condition in which the
application of the component is not within its designed limits or
specifications.
Fire Hose Outlet and Release Rack - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ A
water supply control valve intended to be operated by actuation of an
,automatic detection system that is installed in the same area as the
discharge devices. Each deluge valve is intended to be capable of
automatic and manual operation. Deluge systems are suitable for
hazardous occupancies. This includes buildings in which flammable
liquids or other hazardous materials are handled or stored.
Discharge Device - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ A device designed to
discharge water or foam-water solution in a predetermined, fixed, or
adjustable pattern. Examples include, but are not limited to, sprinklers,
spray nozzles, and hose nozzles.
Dry Standpipe - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ A standpipe system
designed to have piping contain water only when the system is being
utilized (No automatic water supply.)
Dunnage - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Rooftop dunnage involves
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 - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ 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 extinguishment to
supplement existing water supplies. (Formerly know as Siamese
connection.)
, Fire Hose - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ 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 - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ 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 - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ 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.
Fold - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ A transverse bend (fold) occurring
where the hose is lengthwise double over on itself, as on a pin rack.
Gallons per minute (GPM) - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ typically
used to measure fluid flow rate (such as water) or pump capacity.
Measurement of water flow rate for a pump or a fire standpipe or
sprinkler system.
