FDNY Sprinkler Standpipe System S-
12/S-13 Exam 100% Correct!!
Automatic Standpipe System - ANSWERSA 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.
Churning - ANSWERSA condition in a centrifugal in which the impeller is rotating, but no water is being
discharged.
Combination Standpipe and Sprinkler System - ANSWERSA system where the water piping service both 2
1/2in (65) outlet for fire Department use and oulet for automatic sprinkler
Concealed Sprinkler - ANSWERSA recessed sprinkler with a cover plate
Deluge Valve - ANSWERSwater 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
Deludge Sprinkler System - ANSWERSA 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
Dry Pipe Sprinkler System - ANSWERSA 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.
Dry Sprinkler - ANSWERSA 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

be personally present on the premises, or other proximate location acceptable to the department, while
the duties for which the certificate is required is being performed.
Pressure Restricting Device - ANSWERSA valve or device designed for the purpose of reducing of
reducing the downstream water pressure under both flowing (residual) and non-flowing (static)
conditions
Pressure Reducing Valve - ANSWERSA valve or device designed for the purpose of reducing of reducing
the downstream water pressure under flowing (residual) conditions only.
Bulb Sprinkler - ANSWERSA 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.
