1. The Standard shall cover the minimum requirements for the installation of
private service mains and their appurtenances, which include the following: -
-Automatic Sprinkler Systems
-Open Sprinkler Systems
-Water Spray Fixed Systems
-Foam Systems
-Private Hydrants
-Monitor Nozzles or Standpipe Systems with reference to water supplies
-Hose Houses
2. The standard shall apply to combined service mains intended to carry water
for fire service and other uses:
3. This standard shall NOT apply to the following situations: -Mains under the control of
a water utility
-Mains providing fire protection and/or domestic water that are privately owned but are operated as a water utility
4. The standard shall NOT apply to underground fire mains serving sprinkler
systems designed and installed in accordance with NFPA 13R that are less than
4 in in nomimal diameter:
5. The standard shall not apply to underground mains serving sprinkler systems
designed and installed in accordance with NFPA 13D:
6. The Purpose of this standard shall be to provide a reasonable degree of
protection for life and property from fire through installation requirements for
private service main systems based on sound engineering principles, test data,
and field experience.:
7. The provisions of this standard reflect a consensus for what is necessary to
provide an acceptable degree of protection from the hazards addressed in this
standard at the time the standard was issued.:
8. Residual Pressure: The pressure that exists in the distribution system, measured at the residual hydrant at
the time the flow readings are taken at the flow hydrants.
9. Static Pressure: The pressure that exists at a given point under normal distribution system conditions
measured at the residual hydrant with no hydrants flowing.
10. Flow Test: A test performed by the flow and measurement of water from one hydrant and the static and residua
pressures from an adjacent hydrant for the purpose of determining the available water supply at that location.
