S13 standpipe test

Alarm check Valves - ANSWER-... .Alarms and Supervisory Signal Devices - ANSWER-... .Attack Hose - ANSWER-Hose designed to be used by trained fire fighters and fire brigade members to combat fires beyond the incipient stage. .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. .Auxiliary water supply - ANSWER-supplementary source of water for a standpipe and/or sprinkler system. .Booster Hose - ANSWER-A non-collapsible hose used under positive pressure having an elastomeric or thermoplastic tube, a braided or spiraled reinforcement, and an outer protective cover. .Branch line - ANSWER-A pipe system, generally in a horizontal plane, connecting not more than one hose connection with a standpipe. .Check Valves - ANSWER-... .Combination / Combined Systems - ANSWER-It is not uncommon to find occupancies having a combination of systems for fire protection. Examples of combination systems are: a. Combination System (Wet standpipe and Dry standpipe) b. Combined System ( Wet standpipe system and Automatic Sprinkler System) - A standpipe system having piping that supplies both hose connections and automatic sprinklers. Each connection from a standpipe that is part of a combined system to a sprinkler system shall have an individual control valve and check valve of the same size as the connection. .Combination Standpipe and Sprinkler System - ANSWER-A system where the fire protection piping services both 21⁄2 in. (65 mm) outlets for fire department use and outlets for automatic sprinklers. .Control Valve - ANSWER-A valve controlling flow to water-based fire protection systems. Control valves do not include hose valves, inspector's test valves, drain valves, trim valves for dry pipe, pre-action and deluge valves, check valves, or relief valves. .Covered Hose - ANSWER-A hose with a jacket covered and lined with a continuous synthetic rubber or plastic. The cover is usually thicker than a coating. .Deficiency - ANSWER-A condition in which the application of the component is not within its designed limits or specifications. .Discharge Device - ANSWER-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 - ANSWER-A standpipe system designed to have piping contain water only when the system is being utilized (No automatic water supply.) .Dry Standpipe with a Manual Control Valve - ANSWER-This system is supplied by a public water main. Under normal conditions this system has no water in the piping. The water is not allowed into the standpipe until a control valve is manually operated. The control valve remains closed until a fire occurs. The air in the piping is not under pressure. A pre-action valve prevents the water from entering the system. The valve is automatically opened when a fire detection system discovers that there is a fire. This system is usually used in a building that is not heated. .Dry Standpipe with an Automatic Dry Pipe Valve (Manual Standpipe) - ANSWER-... .Dry Standpipe with No Permanent Water Supply (Manual Standpipe) - ANSWER-... .Dunnage - ANSWER-Rooftop dunnage involves designing a raised series of beams (usually steel) bearing on posts or bearing walls to support mechanical equipment (usually on a roof top). .Fire Department Connection - ANSWER-... .Fire Department Connection - ANSWER-... .Fire Department Connection - ANSWER-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 supplement existing water supplies. (Formerly know as Siamese connection.) .Fire Hose - ANSWER-A flexible conduit constructed with one or more reinforcements (Jackets), with or without a coating or covering but with an approved nonpermeable lining, or with an inner reinforcement between a protective cover and an approved nonpermeable lining. .Fire Hose - ANSWER-A flexible conduit used to convey water. .Fire Hose including Couplings and Nozzles - ANSWER-... .Fire Hose Outlet and Release Rack - ANSWER-... .Fire Hose Outlet and Release Rack - ANSWER-A 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. Each deluge valve is intended to be capable of automatic and manual operation. Deluge systems are suitable for hazardous occupancies. This includes buildings in which flammable liquids or other hazardous materials are handled or stored. .Fire Hydrant - ANSWER-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.
