FDNY S12 EXAM| ACTUAL QUESTIONS & CORRECT
VERIFIED ANSWERS || 100% VERIFIED ANSWERS
1. Alarm Notification Appliance ANS >> A fire alarm system component, such as
a bell, horn, speaker, light, text display or vibration device that issues an audible,
tactile, and/or visual alert
2. Alarm Signal ANS >> a signal indicating an emergency requiring immediate
action, such as a signal indicative of fire
3. Antifreeze Sprinkler System ANS >> A wet pipe sprinkler system employing
automatic sprinklers that are attached to a piping system that contains an
antifreeze solution and is connected to a water supply; discharged followed by
water, immediately upon operation of sprinklers opened by heat from a fire
4. Automatic Ball Drip ANS >> An automatic drain valve horizontally installed at
the low point in the piping between the lower check valve and the FD connection of
automatic sprinkler systems. Water pressure from a FD pumper automatically closes
this value. It automatically re-opens when pressure ceases, permitting this piping
to drain and thereby preventing freezing

, 5. Central Station ANS >> facility that receives alarm signals from a protected
premises and retransmits or otherwise reports such alarm signals to the
department
6. Combination Standpipe and Sprinkler System ANS >> a system where the
water piping services both 2.5 in. outlets for fire department use and outlets for
automatic sprinklers
7. Concealed Sprinkler ANS >> A recessed sprinkler with a cover plate
8. Controle Mode Specific Application Sprinklers ANS >> Control mode
sprinkler sys- tems are designed to control a fire until its original fuel source is
depleted or until fire-fighting activities can commence. A fire is controlled by
cooling the ceiling-level air temperatures, reducing the fire's rate of heat release
and pre-wetting adjacent combustibles
9. Control Valve ANS >> 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, reaction and deluge valves, check valves, or relief
valves
10. OS & Y Valve ANS >> an indicating type of control valve used for fire sprinkler
system
11. Curb Valve ANS >> non-indicating gate valve equipped with a cast iron
extension box flushed with a sidewalk with an operating nut of 1.25 in, this valve is
operated using a special curb key wrench. This valve controls the municipal water
supply serving the fire sprinkler system
12. Corrosion-Resistant Sprinkler ANS >> A sprinkler fabricated with corrosion
resistant materials, or special coatings to be used in an atmosphere that would
corrode standard sprinklers
13. Deficiency ANS >> A condition in which the application of the component is
not within its designed limits or specifications
