A Fold is a ___ - ✔✔A transverse bend (fold) occurring where the hose is lengthwise double
over on itself, as on a pin rack.
Gallons per minute (GPM) - ✔✔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.
Hose Connection - ✔✔a combination of equipment provided for connection of a hose to the
standpipe system that includes a hose valve with a threaded outlet.
An Attack Hose is - ✔✔Hose designed to be used by trained fire fighters and fire brigade
members to combat fires beyond the incipient stage.
A Booster Hose is - ✔✔A non-collapsible hose used under positive pressure having an
elastomeric or thermoplastic tube, a braided or spiraled reinforcement, and an outer protective
cover.
A Covered Hose is - ✔✔A hose with a jacket covered and lined with a continuous synthetic
rubber or plastic. The cover is usually thicker than a coating.
A Fire Hose is - ✔✔A flexible conduit used to convey water.
Hose Valve - ✔✔The valve to an individual hose connection
Occupant Use Hose - ✔✔Fire hose designed to be used by the building's occupants to fight
incipient fires prior to the arrival of trained fire fighters or fire brigade members.
,Unlined Hose - ✔✔A hose consisting of only a woven jacket that is usually of linen yarns and
is of such quality that the yarn swells when wet, tending to seal the hose.
Hose Size - ✔✔An expression of the internal diameter of the hose.
Hose Station - ✔✔a combination of a hose rack, hose nozzle, hose, and hose connection.
In Service - ✔✔The status of hose stored in a hose house, on a rack or reel, or on a fire
apparatus that is available and ready for immediate use at an incident.
In Storage - ✔✔A hose that is not readily available for use because it is not at the scene of an
incident and not loaded on a vehicle that can transport it to the scene.
In Use - ✔✔Hose being used during fire suppression or during training.
Impairment Coordinator - ✔✔The person responsible for ensuring that proper safety
precautions are taken when a fire protection system is placed out of service.
Labeled - ✔✔Equipment or materials to which has been attached a label, symbol or other
identifying mark.
Listed Device - ✔✔A fire protection component that has been tested to perform under
parameters specified for its use by a nationally recognized testing agency.
Manual Standpipe - ✔✔Standpipe system that relies exclusively on the fire department
connection to supply the system demand.
Master Pressure Reducing Valve - ✔✔A pressure reducing valve installed to regulate
pressures in an entire fire protection system and/or standpipe system zone.
, Main Drain - ✔✔The primary drain connection located on the system riser and also utilized
as a flow test connection for the automatic sprinkler system.
Nozzles - ✔✔A device for use in applications requiring special water discharge patterns,
directional spray, or other unusual discharge characteristics.
Occupant-Use Hose - ✔✔Fire Hose designed to be used by the building's occupants to fight
incipient fires prior to the arrival of trained fire fighters or fire brigade members.
Out of service system - ✔✔A fire protection system that is not fully functional; or whose
operation is impaired or is otherwise not in good working order.
Personal Supervision - ✔✔Supervision by the holder of a department certificate who is
required to be personally present on the premises, or other proximate location acceptable to
the department, while the duties for which the certificate is required is being performed
Pounds per square inch (PSI) - ✔✔a unit of pressure measuring force per unit area.
Pressure Control Valve - ✔✔A pilot operated pressure reducing valve that may be used with
a fire or booster pump designed for preventing the water supply pressure from dropping below
a set pressure.
Pressure-Reducing Valve - ✔✔A valve designed for the purpose of reducing the downstream
water pressure under both flowing (residual) and non flowing (static) conditions.
Pressure Regulating Device - ✔✔A device designed for the purpose of reducing, regulating
controlling, or restricting water pressure.
