Part 1: General Responsibilities and Record Keeping
1. THE IS RESPONSIBLE TO MAINTAIN SPRINKLER SYS. AND TO
DETERMINE QUALIFICATIONS.
Answer-: OWNER
Rationale: The building owner holds ultimate responsibility for maintaining the
sprinkler system and ensuring that personnel are properly qualified to perform
work on the system .
2. RECORDS OF ALL INSPECTIONS AND MX SHALL BE MAINTAINED ON PREMISES
FOR A MIN. OF YEARS.
Answer-: 3
Rationale: All inspection, testing, and maintenance records must be kept on the
premises for a minimum of three years .
3. THE BUILDING OWNER SHALL ASSIGN A(N) TO COMPLY WITH
REQUIREMENTS.
Answer-: IMPAIRMENT COORDINATOR
Rationale: The impairment coordinator is responsible for ensuring proper safety
precautions are taken when the fire protection system is placed out of service. In
the absence of a designee, the owner serves as the impairment coordinator .
4. How long must the alarm log book be kept?
Answer-: 3 years
Rationale: Alarm log books, like other inspection and maintenance records, must
be retained for a minimum of three years .
,5. How many spare sprinkler heads must be kept on site for emergency
replacement?
Answer-: 6
Rationale: For systems with fewer than 300 sprinklers, six spare heads must be
kept on site, stored at the main shutoff valve .
6. Under 300 Sprinklers = ?
Answer-: 6 spare heads
Rationale: This is the basic requirement for smaller systems. For 301-1000
sprinklers, 12 spare heads are required; over 1000 sprinklers requires 24 spare
heads .
Part 2: System Definitions and Components
7. Automatic Standpipe System
Answer-: 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 .
8. Churning
Answer-: A condition in a centrifugal pump in which the impeller is rotating, but
no water is being discharged .
9. Combination Standpipe and Sprinkler System
Answer-: A system where the water piping services both 2½-inch outlets for fire
department use and outlets for automatic sprinklers .
10. Concealed Sprinkler
Answer-: A recessed sprinkler with a cover plate .
11. Deluge Valve
Answer-: A water supply control valve intended to be operated by actuation of an
automatic detection system installed in the same area as the discharge devices.
Suitable for HAZARDOUS OCCUPANCIES. Intended use is manual and automatic .
12. Deluge Sprinkler System
Answer-: A sprinkler system employing open sprinklers attached to piping
, connected to a water supply through a valve opened by a detection system
installed in the same area as the sprinklers .
13. Dry Pipe Sprinkler System
Answer-: A sprinkler system employing automatic sprinklers attached to piping
containing air or nitrogen under pressure. Release of air (from opening a
sprinkler) causes water pressure to open a dry pipe valve, allowing water flow
into the piping and out of fused sprinkler heads .
14. Dry Sprinkler
Answer-: A sprinkler secured in an extension nipple with a seal at the inlet
preventing water entry until the sprinkler operates. May be configured as upright,
pendent, or sidewall .
15. Dry Standpipe
Answer-: A standpipe system designed to have piping contain water only when
the system is being utilized (NO AUTOMATIC WATER SUPPLY) .
16. Fire Department Connection
Answer-: A connection, normally on the exterior of the building (formerly known
as SIAMESE CONNECTION) .
17. Fire Hydrant
Answer-: A valve connection on a water supply system having one or more outlets
used to supply hose and fire department pumps with water .
18. Bulb Sprinkler
Answer-: A sprinkler operated by heat breaking a glass bulb filled with non-
freezing liquid, with diameters varying from 3mm for quick response to 5mm for
standard response sprinklers .
Part 3: Valves and System Control Devices
19. Pressure Restricting Device
Answer-: A valve or device designed to reduce downstream water pressure under
both flowing (residual) and non-flowing (static) conditions .
