TFM10 - Fire Sprinkler Underground
(NFPA 24 & TX Insurance Code 6300)
AHJ - ANS-Authority Having Jurisdiction
Appurtenance - ANS-An accent or attachment that allows the private fire provider most
important to carry out its intended function.
Automatic Drain Valve (Automatic Drip or Ball Drip) - ANS-A tool intended to remove water
the usage of gravity from piping or valve cavities, that's required to be empty whilst the
device isn't always discharging.
Check Valve - ANS-A valve that permits drift in a single path handiest.
Corrosion-Resistant Piping - ANS-Piping that has the assets of being able to resist
deterioration of its surface or its homes whilst uncovered to its environment.
Corrosion-Retarding Material - ANS-A lining or coating fabric that once carried out to piping
or appurtenances has the belongings of decreasing or slowing the deterioration of the items
surface or properties while exposed to it environment.
Dry Barrel Hydrant (Frostproof Hydrant) - ANS-A type of hydrant with the main manipulate
valve underneath the frost line between the footpiece and the barrel.
Fire Department Connection - ANS-A connection thru which the hearth branch can pump
supplemental water into the sprinkler device, standpipe, or other system, furnishing water for
fireplace extinguishment to complement present water supplies.
Fire Pump - ANS-A pump that is a provider of liquid float and strain committed to fireplace
protection. A fire pump is part of a fireplace standpipe device's water supply and can be
powered through electric, diesel or steam. The pump consumption is either linked to the
general public underground water supply piping or a static water source (e.G., tank,
reservoir, lake). The pump provides water waft at higher pressure and volume to the
standpipe system risers and hose standpipes.
Flow Hydrant - ANS-The hydrant this is used for the glide and glide measurement of water
all through a waft check.
Flow Test - ANS-A test completed via the glide and dimension of water from one hydrant and
the static and residual pressures from an adjoining hydrant for the reason of figuring out the
to be had water deliver at that place.
