NFPA 25 nicet test 1 / Revised Questions
and Answers / Sure A+
Antifreeze Sprinkler System - A wet pipe sprinkler system employing automatic sprinklers that are
attached to a piping system that contains an antifreeze solution and is connected to a water supply. The
antifreeze solution is discharged, followed by water, immediately upon operation of sprinklers opened
by heat from a fire.
circulation relief valve - A valve used to cool a pump by discharging a small quantity of water. This
valve is separate from and independent of the main relief valve.
Combined standpipe and sprinkler system - A system where the water piping services both 2 1/2
in. Outlets for fire department use outlets for automatic sprinklers
Control valve - A valve controlling flow to water based fire protection systems
Deluge Sprinkler System - A sprinkler system employing open sprinklers that are attached to a
piping system that is connected to a water supply through a valve that is opened by the operation of a
detection system installed in the same areas as the sprinklers. When this valve opens, water flows into
the piping system and discharges from all sprinklers attached.
Deluge valve - A water supply control valve intended to be operated by actuation of an automatic
detection system. That is installed in the same area as discharged devices
Dry pipe system - A sprinkler system employing automatic sprinklers that are attached to a piping
system containing air and nitrogen under pressure, the release of which permits the water pressure to
open a valve known as a dry pipe valve and the water then flows into the piping system and out the
opened sprinklers
Fire pump - A pump that is a provider of liquid flow and pressure dedicated to fire protection
Hose valve - The valve to an individual hose connection
