S12 SPRINKLER 2026 CORE EXM TEST QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS GUARANTEE A+
✔✔Fire pump locations - ✔✔the fire pump should be located in a place that is
noncombustible or fire resistant. has to be heated to a minimum of 40 degrees
Fahrenheit.
✔✔Gravity tanks should be how high above the highest sprinkler head? - ✔✔25 feet.
✔✔What are the three methods to heating a gravity tank - ✔✔Hot water circulation
Steam is discharged directly into the tank
steam coils are placed inside the tanks
Heat from the sun is used
✔✔Automatic fill pumps supply the water to most gravity tanks. The pumps fill the tank
at a rate of __ gpm - ✔✔65
✔✔Centrifugal pump can pump at a rate of - ✔✔25 to 5000 gallons per minute
✔✔what is a fire hydrant? - ✔✔A valve connection on a water supply system having one
or more outlets and that is used to supply hose and fire department connections with
water.
✔✔What is the purpose of gate valves? - ✔✔A valve controlling flow to water based fire
protection systems. Is used to isolate,shut off, and open sprinkler systems.
✔✔Which option best describes a the term: Operational - ✔✔Water availability
✔✔An Automatic Standpipe System is - ✔✔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 - ✔✔supplementary source of water for a standpipe and/or
sprinkler system.
✔✔Control Valve - ✔✔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 - ✔✔A pipe system, generally in a horizontal plane, connecting not more
than
one hose connection with a standpipe.
,✔✔___ is known as a Deficiency - ✔✔A condition in which the application of the
component is not within its designed limits or specifications.
✔✔Discharge Device - ✔✔A device designed to discharge water or foam-water solution
in a predetermined, fixed, or adjustable pattern.
✔✔What is a Dry Standpipe? - ✔✔A standpipe system designed to have piping contain
water only when the system is being utilized (No automatic water supply.)
✔✔____ is commonly refereed to as Dunnage - ✔✔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 - ✔✔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 - ✔✔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 - ✔✔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 - ✔✔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.
✔✔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.
