equal or greater than 3/4 and less than 1 inch
listed device - CORRECT ANSWER-A fire protection component that has been
tested to perform under parameters specified for its use by a nationally
recognized testing agency. Underwriter's Laboratory (UL) and Factory Mutual

valve installed to regulate pressures in an entire fire protection system and/or
standpipe system zone.

system riser and also utilized as a flow test connection.
Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) - CORRECT ANSWER-Corrosion
caused by the presence of microbes in the water supply that over time attack the
interior of metallic piping and cause leaks, pitting, and blockages.

sprinklers manufactured prior to 1999 identifying small orifice sprinklers and large
orifice sprinklers where orifice size is different than the nominal thread size of the
sprinkler head.

upon the number of sprinkler heads and the occupancy of the protected area.
Preaction Sprinkler System - CORRECT ANSWER-A sprinkler system employing
automatic sprinklers that are attached to a piping system that contains air that
may or may not be under pressure, with a supplemental detection system
installed in the same areas as the sprinklers.
Pressure Control Valve - CORRECT ANSWER-A pilot operated pressure
reducing valve that may be used with a fire or booster pump designed for the
purpose of preventing the incoming water supply pressure from dropping below a
set pressure.
Pressure-Reducing Valve - CORRECT ANSWER-A valve designed for the
purpose of reducing the downstream water pressure under both flowing
(residual) and nonflowing (static) conditions.
Pressure Relief Valve - CORRECT ANSWER-A valve designed for the purpose
of releasing excess air or water pressure from the Fire Protection Piping System.
Pressure Tank - CORRECT ANSWER-A tank using air pressure to supplying
water for water-based fire protection systems. Tank contents to be maintained at
one third air to two thirds water.
Quick Response Sprinkler Head - CORRECT ANSWER-A sprinkler having a
fusible link with a response time index (RTI) of 50 or less.
Recessed Sprinkler - CORRECT ANSWER-A sprinkler in which all or part of the
body, other than the shank thread, is mounted above the ceiling.
