Impairment Coordinator - ANSWER -The person responsible for ensuring that proper safety precautions are taken when a fire protection system is placed out of service. Labeled - ANSWER -Equipment or materials to which has been attached a label, symbol or other identifying mark. Listed Device - ANSWER -A fire protection component that has been tested to perform under parameters specified for its use by a nationally recognized testing agency. Manual Standpipe - ANSWER -Standpipe system that relies exclusively on the fire department connection to supply the system demand. Master Pressure Reducing Valve - ANSWER -A pressure reducing valve installed to regulate pressures in an entire fire protection system and/or standpipe system zone. Main Drain - ANSWER -The primary drain connection located on the system riser and also utilized as a flow test connection for the automatic sprinkler system. Nozzles - ANSWER -A device for use in applications requiring special water discharge patterns, directional spray, or other unusual discharge characteristics. Occupant-Use Hose - ANSWER -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. Out of service system - ANSWER -A fire protection system that is not fully functional; or whose operation is impaired or is otherwise not in good working order. Personal Supervision - ANSWER -Supervision by the holder of a department certificate who is required to be personally present on the premises, or other proximate location acceptable to the department, while the duties for which the certificate is required is being performed Pounds per square inch (PSI) - ANSWER -a unit of pressure measuring force per unit area. Pressure Control Valve - ANSWER -A pilot operated pressure reducing valve that may be used with a fire or booster pump designed for preventing the water supply pressure from dropping below a set pressure. Pressure-Reducing Valve - ANSWER -A valve designed for the purpose of reducing the downstream water pressure under both flowing (residual) and non flowing (static) conditions. Pressure Regulating Device - ANSWER -A device designed for the purpose of reducing, regulating controlling, or restricting water pressure. Pressure Restricting Device - ANSWER -A valve or device designed for the purpose of reducing the downstream water pressure under flowing (residual) conditions only. Pressure Relief Valve - ANSWER -A valve designed for the purpose of releasing excess air or water pressure from the Fire Protection Piping System.
