all records must be kept on site for 3 years planned removal from service When the system or portion of standpipe system is placed out of service for inspection, testing, maintenance, etc. , no more than one floor can be out of service and notification must be made to impairment coordinator Unplanned out of service condition: A serious defect in the standpipe or sprinkler system including, but not limited to: an empty tank, a break or major leak in the system's water piping, inoperative or shut water supply valves, defective fire department connections, construction related shut downs affecting more than one floor, or complete or partial shut downs of the standpipe system, other than a shut down for a planned removal from service. notification for planned removal from service no notification to the fire department is required provided the system will fully return to service within 8 hours notification for unplanned removal from service reporting to owner of building and to FDNY BOROUGH DISPATCHER red tag on standpipe system full out of service or partially white disc on fire dep connection system fully out of service blue disc on fire dep connection system partially out of service Automatic Standpipe System 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 valve controlling flow to water-based fire protection systems. Control valves do not include hose valves, inspectors test valves, drain valves, trim valves for dry pip etc.. branch line a pipe system, generally in a horizontal plane, connecting not more than one hose connection with a standpipe deficiency a condition in which the application of the component is not within its designed limits or specifications Deluge Valve water supply control valve intended to be operated by actuation of an automatic detection system that is installed in the same area as the discharge devices. INTENDED USE IS MANUAL AND AUTO Discharge Device A device designed to discharge water or foam-water solution in a predetermined, fixed, or adjustable pattern. Examples include, but are not limited to, sprinklers, spray nozzles, and hose nozzles. dry standpipe a standpipe system designed to have piping contain water only when the system is being utilized (no automatic water supply) dunnage rooftop dunnage involves designing a raised series of beams (usually steel) bearing on posts or bearing wall 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 supplemental water supplies fire hose a flexible conduit constructed with one or more reinforcements (jackets) with or without a coating or covering but with an approved non permeable lining, or with an inner reinforcement between a protective cover and an approved non permeable 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 systems 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. the pump providers water flow at higher pressure and volume to the standpipe system risers and hose standpipes. fold a transverse bend 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 Attack Hose hose designed to be used by trained fire fighters and fire brigade members to combat fire beyond the incipient (beginning) stage booster hose a non collapsible hose used under positive pressure having an elastomeric or thermoplastic tube, a braided or spiraled reinforcement, and an outer protective cover covered hose a hose with a jacket covered and lined with a continuous synthetic rubber or plastic. the cover is usually thicker than a coating hose valve the valve to an individual hose connection occupant use hose fire hose designed to be used by the buildings occupants to fight incipient fires (early staged fire) prior to the arrival of trained fire fighters or fire brigade members unlined hose a hose consisting of only 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. this doesnt include hose in the storage where it is not readily available to be put into service 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 training Impairment Coordinator The person responsible for ensuring that proper safety precautions are taken when a fire protection system is placed out of service. The building owner shall assign an impairment coordinator to comply with the requirements of this section. In the absence of a specific designee, the owner shall be considered the impairment coordinator. labeled equipment or materials to which has been attached a label, symbol or other indentifying mark or an organization that is acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction and concerned with product evaluation, that maintains periodic inspection of production of labeled equipment or materials, and by whose labeling the manufacturer indicates compliance with appropriate standard or performance in a specified manner listed device 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 (FM) are the two most common. Manual Standpipe standpipe system that relies exclusively on the fire department connection to supply the system demand master pressure reducing valve a pressure reducing valve installed to regulate pressures in an entire fire protection system and or standpipe system zone main drain the primary drain connection located on the system riser and also utilized as a flow test connection for the automatic sprinkler system Nozzles a device for use in applications requiring special water discharge patterns, directional spray, or other unusual discharge characteristics Out of service system a fire protection system that is not fully functional or whose operation is impaired or is otherwise not in good working order Personal Supervision supervision by the holder of a department certificate who is required to be personally present on the premise 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) a unit of pressure measuring force per unit area pressure control valve (suction side) 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 (suction side of pump) pressure control valve (discharge side) a pilot operated pressure reducing valve designed for the purpose of reducing the downstream water pressure to a specific valve under both flowing (residual) and non-flowing (static) conditions (discharge side of pump) pressure reducing valve a valve designed for the purpose of reducing the downstream water pressure under both flowing (residual) and non flowing (static) conditions pressure regulating device a device designed for the purpose of reducing, regulating, controlling or restricting water pressure. Ex. pressure reducing valve, pressure control valves and pressure restricting devices pressure restricting device a valve or device designed for the purpose of reducing the downstream water pressure under flowing (residual) conditions only
