, Question: blue disk - CORRECT partially out of service- on all fire department
connections
Question: water storage tank - CORRECT Collects cooled water
Question: OS & Y valve - CORRECT indicating type of control valve used for fire
sprinkler system
Question: deluge valve - CORRECT 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
Question: deluge sprinkler system - CORRECT 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.
Question: Early suppresion fast response sprinklers - CORRECT fast response sprinkler
that is listed for its capability to provide fire suppression of specific high challenge fire
hazards

achieve a given discharge density
Question: extended coverage sprinkler - CORRECT 400 max square feet discharge 20
foot by 20 foot spacing between sprinklers
Question: fire pump - CORRECT 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

, Question: Glass bulb sprinkler - CORRECT 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
Question: hose valve - CORRECT valve to additional hose connection
Question: hydraulic placard - CORRECT sign attached to a hydraulically calculated
sprinkler system indicating the design density, required gallons per minute and pressure for
the system to operate properly
Question: hydraulically calculated systems - CORRECT method of sizing auto sprinkler
piping using a prescribed amount of water to be distributed over a specific area.
Question: impairment coordinator - CORRECT in charge of safety during out of
service systems
Question: intermediate level sprinkler - CORRECT sprinkler equipped with integral
shields to protect the operating elemtn form discharge from sprinklers installed at higher
elevations
Question: large orifice sprinkler - CORRECT sprinkler head with orifice size equal or
greater than 3/4 and less than 1 inch
Question: listed device - CORRECT 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.
Question: Master Pressure Reducing Valve - CORRECT A pressure reducing valve
installed to regulate pressures in an entire fire protection system and/or standpipe system
zone.

, Question: Main Drain - CORRECT The primary drain connection located on the system
riser and also utilized as a flow test connection.
Question: Microbiologically Influenced Corrosion (MIC) - CORRECT 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.
Question: Old-Style/Conventional Sprinkler - CORRECT 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.
Question: Pendent Sprinkler - CORRECT A sprinkler designed to be installed in such a
way that the water stream is directed downward against the deflector.
Question: Pintle Screws - CORRECT 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.
Question: Pipe Schedule Systems - CORRECT A method of sizing piping based upon
the number of sprinkler heads and the occupancy of the protected area.
Question: Preaction Sprinkler System - CORRECT A sprinkler system employing
automatic sprinklers that are attached to a piping system that contains air that may or may
not be under pressure, with a supplemental detection system installed in the same areas as
the sprinklers.
Question: Pressure Control Valve - CORRECT 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.
