Example text

A standpipe is a type of rigid water pipe to which firehoses can be connected that is built into multistory buildings in a vertical position. Standpipe systems can be classified into three system types as defined by NFPA 14: Standard for the Installation of Standpipe and Hose Systems. UÊ Class I system: A system that provides 2½-inch hose connections to supply water for use by fire Residential sprinklers, listed by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), are now available. They are designed to respond to a fire much faster than currently available Table 1-5 Maximum Sprinkler Temperature Rating and Temperature Classification Color Code (with glass bulb fusible link) standard commercial and industrial sprinkler sysMaximum Ceiling Temperature Temperature Color Code (with Glass Bulb Color tems.

Systems can be fixed or semi-fixed. Foams are defined by their expansion ratio: UÊ Low-expansion foam: Expansion up to 20:1 UÊ Medium-expansion foam: Expansion from 20 to 200:1 UÊ High-expansion foam: Expansion from 200 to 1,000:1 The minimum requirements for the design, installation, maintenance, and testing of foam extinguishing systems can be found in NFPA 11: Standard for Low-, Medium-, and High-Expansion Foam and NFPA 16: Standard for the Installation of Foam-Water Sprinkler and Foam-Water Spray Systems.

The types of sprinklers that may be used are standard spray upright and pendent, sidewall spray, concealed, extended coverage, open, residential, early suppression fast-response, large drop, quick response, and special application sprinklers. Sprinkler spacing is based on the rating and listing of the sprinkler in addition to the requirements set forth in NFPA 13. Residential Sprinklers Sprinkler systems can be made up of many different types of piping. NFPA 13 requires pipe used in sprinkler systems to have chemical properties, physical properties, and dimensions of material at least equivalent to the standards shown in Table 1-6.
