ACTUAL QUESTIONS & CORRECT VERIFIED ANSWERS
|| LATEST GRADED A+ | 2025 UPDATE
1. Automatic Standpipe System ANS >> 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.
2. Churning ANS >> A condition in a centrifugal in which the impeller is
rotating, but no water is being discharged.
3. Combination Standpipe and Sprinkler System ANS >> A system where the
water piping service both 2 1/2in (65) outlet for fire Department use and oulet for
automatic sprinkler
4. Concealed Sprinkler ANS >> A recessed sprinkler with a cover plate
5. Deluge Valve ANS >> 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. Suitable for HAZARDOUS OCCUPANCIES. INTENDED
USE IS MANUAL AND AUTO
6. Deludge Sprinkler System ANS >> 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 of a DETECTION SYSTEM installed in the same
area as the sprinklers
7. Dry Pipe Sprinkler System ANS >> A sprinkler system employing automatic
sprinklers that are attached to a piping system containing air or nitrogen under
pressure. The release of the air or nitrogen,(as from the opening of a sprinkler)
results in the water pressure opening a valve known as a dry pipe valve, resulting
in the flow of water into the piping system and out of the fused sprinklers heads.
8. Dry Sprinkler ANS >> A sprinkler secured in an extension nipple that has a
seal at the inlet to prevent water from entering the nipple until the sprinkler
operates. May be configured with an upright, pendent or sidewall sprinkler.
AUTO/NON_AUTO
9. Dry Standpipe ANS >> A standpipe system designed to have piping contain
water only when the system is being utilized (NO AUTOMATIC WATER SUPPLY)
10. Fire Department Connection ANS >> A connection, normally on the
exterior of the building. (FORMERLY KNOW AS SIAMESE CONNECTION)
11. Fire Hose ANS >> A flexible conduit constructed of one or more reinforcements
(JACK- ETS),
12. Fire Hydrant ANS >> 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.
13. Bulb Sprinkler ANS >> A sprinkler operated by heat breaking a glass bulb
filled with a non-freezing liquid with diamiter that vary from 3mm for quick
response sprinklers to 5mm for standard response sprinklers.
