Fire pumps what source of Secondary water source
supply
Types of fire pumps fuel Diesel, Electric, Steam driven
wise
Gasoline-operated units Not approved for new fire pump installations
are they allowed
Fire pumps are being One electrical and one diesel
installed, the choice will
usually consist of
, why do you use two if power failure occurs
different types of pump
operation
What are Rated capacities 500 to 2500 gpm with minimum of 40 psi generated
of standard fire pumps minimum
and what is the minimum
psi generated
Jockey or make-up pumps To make up for leakage / Prevent false activation of
used for fire pump
Requirements for a Heated, Lighted, Drainage, Ventilation, Emergency
properly constructed fire lighting, 2 hour Fire Resistant
pump room
Horizontal-shaft Best suited for use where positive flooded suction is
centrifugal pumps best provided
suited for
Water storage tank filling By a reliable method; Bypass from city supply; Pump
methods private source
Type of pump for negative Vertical shaft turbine
suction supply
what is the method of No air leaks or air pockets / eccentric reducer flat on
installing pump suction top compound gauge where pressures are 20psi or
piping what should you have a chance
not have and what does it
require
Conditions for relief valves When max pump discharge pressure exceeds
max pressure sprinkler pressure rating of system component (175psi sprinkler
system max pressure and system or 350 psi standpipe system)
max standpipe pressure
Purposes of the hose- Provide proper facilities for testing. To provide hose
valve header and hose streams as hydrants if firefighters can operate the test
valves header
