SPRINKLER SYSTEMS QUESTION WITH
COMPLETE SOLUTION 2025
fire department connection - correct answer ✔normally on exterior of
building... FDNY can pump supplemental water into the sprinkler system,
standpipe, or other system furnishing water for fire extinguishment to
supplement existing water supplies.
system control valve - correct answer ✔valve controlling flow to water-based
fire protection systems.
fire command center - correct answer ✔Designated room or area in a
structure where the status of the fire detection, alarm, and protection systems
is displayed and the systems can be manually controlled.
Fire pump, automatic standpipe. - correct answer ✔A fire pump located at or
below street level that supplies the lower 300 feet (91.4 m) of a standpipe
system or a combined standpipe and sprinkler system.
tags - correct answer ✔on closed section valves serving affected areas: area
affected, brief description, occupancy classification, c of f number, estimated
time until operational
Green tag - correct answer ✔no impairment found in entire system- main
control valve
,red tag - correct answer ✔place on main control valve if FULLY out of
service... put sprinkler company name, date of removal from service and
anticipated time to operational
blue disk - correct answer ✔partially out of service- on all fire department
connections
water storage tank - correct answer ✔Collects cooled water
OS & Y valve - correct answer ✔indicating type of control valve used for fire
sprinkler system
deluge valve - correct answer ✔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
deluge sprinkler system - correct answer ✔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 IT OPENS, water flows into the piping
system and discharges from all sprinklers attached.
Early suppresion fast response sprinklers - correct answer ✔fast response
sprinkler that is listed for its capability to provide fire suppression of specific
high challenge fire hazards
extra large orifice sprinklers - correct answer ✔= or > 1 inch less pressure to
achieve a given discharge density
,extended coverage sprinkler - correct answer ✔400 max square feet
discharge 20 foot by 20 foot spacing between sprinklers
fire pump - correct answer ✔a provider of liquid flow and pressure dedicated
to fire protection. A fire pump is a part of a fire sprinklers system water supply
and can be powered by electric, diesel or steam. connected to public water
source or tank. provides higher pressure to sprinkler system
Glass bulb sprinkler - correct answer ✔operated by heat breaking a glass
bulb filled with a non freezing liquid with diameters that vary form 3 mm for
quick response to 5 mm for standard response
hose valve - correct answer ✔valve to additional hose connection
hydraulic placard - correct answer ✔sign attached to a hydraulically
calculated sprinkler system indicating the design density, required gallons per
minute and pressure for the system to operate properly
hydraulically calculated systems - correct answer ✔method of sizing auto
sprinkler piping using a prescribed amount of water to be distributed over a
specific area.
impairment coordinator - correct answer ✔in charge of safety during out of
service systems
intermediate level sprinkler - correct answer ✔sprinkler equipped with
integral shields to protect the operating elemtn form discharge from sprinklers
installed at higher elevations
, large orifice sprinkler - correct answer ✔sprinkler head with orifice size equal
or greater than 3/4 and less than 1 inch
listed device - correct answer ✔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.
Master Pressure Reducing Valve - correct answer ✔A pressure reducing
valve installed to regulate pressures in an entire fire protection system and/or
standpipe system zone.
Main Drain - correct answer ✔The primary drain connection located on the
system riser and also utilized as a flow test connection.
Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) - correct answer ✔Corrosion
caused by the presence of microbes in the water supply that over time attack
the interior of metallic piping and cause leaks, pitting, and blockages.
Old-Style/Conventional Sprinkler - correct answer ✔A sprinkler that directs
40% to 60% of the water initially in a downward direction and is designed to
be installed with the deflector in either the upright or pendent position.
Pendent Sprinkler - correct answer ✔A sprinkler designed to be installed in
such a way that the water stream is directed downward against the deflector.
Pintle Screws - correct answer ✔A visual indicating device required for
sprinklers manufactured prior to 1999 identifying small orifice sprinklers and
large orifice sprinklers where orifice size is different than the nominal thread
size of the sprinkler head.
