1 Second Revision No. 12-NFPA 13E-2014 [ Section No ] Standpipe System. The vertical portion of the system piping that delivers the water supply for hose connections, and sprinklers on combined systems, vertically from floor to floor. The term standpipe can also refer to the horizontal portion of the system piping that delivers the water supply for two or more hose connections, and sprinklers on combined systems, on a single level. An arrangement of piping, valves, hose connections, and allied equipment installed in a building or structure, with the hose connections located in such a manner that water can be discharged in streams or spray patterns through attached hose and nozzles, for the purpose of extinguishing a fire, thereby protecting a building or structure and its contents in addition to protecting the occupants. [14, 2013] Submitter Full Name: Steven Sawyer Organization: National Fire Protection Assoc Submittal Date: Thu Mar 20 10:58:21 EDT 2014 : Updated the definition from the referenced document.
2 Second Revision No. 2-NFPA 13E-2014 [ Section No ] Whenever automatic sprinklers are installed within the jurisdiction, the fire department training program should include a course on the fundamentals of automatic sprinkler systems. The fire department should recognize the following: (1) When properly designed, installed, maintained, and supported by the fire department, a sprinkler system can apply water directly to the fire in a more effective manner than can the fire department using manual fire suppression methods. (2) Not all sprinkler systems are equally effective in their performance. Systems might not have been properly maintained or might not be effective for the current occupancy. (3) Changing conditions, including the following, might have reduced the required water supply calculated for sprinklers by the system designer: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) Installation of a backflow preventor Increased demand in area Partially closed valves Use of hose streams in larger volumes than anticipated Deterioration of the grid system water supply Degradation of the sprinkler pipe caused by corrosion (4) Changes in occupancies and commodity storage packaging and configuration methods might necessitate increased fire department support for the sprinkler system. Knowledge of sprinklered buildings within the response area will enable fire companies to be alert for the types of changes described in 4.1.3(3), which should be referred to the authority having jurisdiction so it can determine the need for sprinkler system modification. (5) Sprinkler systems are installed in single-family and multiple-family dwellings as well as other types of residential occupancies. Some of these systems might not have the traditional fire department connection and other traditional exterior building fittings or dedicated separate water supplies. Submittal Date: Tue Feb 25 15:57:34 EST 2014 As originally stated in item (e) Deterioration of the grid system, not all water supplies are connected to a grid system therefore changing it to reflect water supplies clarifies the potential deterioration to the entire public/private water supply system. Adding (f) Degradation of the sprinkler pipe caused by corrosion identifies the loss of pressure associated with internal pipe obstructions and restrictions caused by corrosion and MIC. Public Comment No. 4-NFPA 13E-2013 [Section No ]

4 Second Revision No. 1-NFPA 13E-2014 [ Section No ] During periodic inspections, fire personnel should ascertain the location and accessibility of fire department connections and connections to the water source, as well as the availability of an adequate water supply. In addition, fire personnel should verify fire department connection inlet caps or plugs and inlet swivel(s) are operational and the fire department connection inlets are free of debris. Submittal Date: Tue Feb 25 12:47:30 EST 2014 Adding sentence will ensure personnel take the opportunity to verify components of the FDC are operational and ready for service. Furthermore, FDC inlets have become a receptacle for trash, debris and contraband, inspecting the inlets prevents foreign material from entering the sprinkler/standpipe system. Public Comment No. 6-NFPA 13E-2013 [Section No ]
5 Second Revision No. 3-NFPA 13E-2014 [ Section No ] Fire personnel should be aware that not all residential sprinkler piping is not tested to the same level as commercial sprinkler piping. Therefore, a residential sprinkler system should not be pressurized to more than water main pressure if this system has a fire department connection. Submittal Date: Tue Feb 25 16:02:47 EST 2014 Not all residential sprinkler systems require a hydro test. Text was clarified that some may not have been tested. Public Comment No. 7-NFPA 13E-2013 [Section No ]
6 Second Revision No. 4-NFPA 13E-2014 [ Section No ] 4.4.4* Where appropriate, the fire department should assist in restoring the sprinkler system. Because actions to restore a sprinkler system can present potential consequences for improper or negligent actions, each fire department should review its policy on this matter. Where fire departments are tasked with restoring sprinkler systems post-fire or after accidental sprinkler activations, departments should consider using 1 2 in. (13 mm) or 3 4 in. (19 mm) pipe nipples with caps if spare sprinklers are not available. This provides complete sprinkler protection, which facilitates reoccupation of areas not affected by fire, smoke, or water damage. Sprinklers that were exposed to high heat conditions during a fire should be examined by a qualified sprinkler installer and replaced as needed. Supplemental Information File Name Description SR4_annex docx A edited Word file 3/19/2014 Submittal Date: Tue Feb 25 16:04:45 EST 2014 Revising the statement and adding an Annex section provides fire departments an option to leaving sprinkler systems out of service where no spare sprinklers are available on site and when tasked to restore systems after an activation. Restoring systems to service is imperative post-fire condition to provide protection in the event of a re-kindle or accidental activation within an occupied building. Furthermore, utilizing pipe nipples are a cost effective option to installing sprinklers and ensures the correct type and temperature of sprinkler is installed by a licensed fire sprinkler contractor. Pipe nipples can be brightly painted for rapid identification and labeled with the fire unit identification and tagged with instructions to the contractor indicating requirements for restoring the system to service. Public Comment No. 8-NFPA 13E-2013 [Section No ]
7 Second Revision No. 5-NFPA 13E-2014 [ Section No ] If the sprinkler system cannot be restored to operating condition by the time the fire department leaves the premises, the code enforcement and/or fire prevention authorities and the building owner/representative should be promptly notified of the structure s noncompliance noncompliant status. The Depending on post-fire conditions, the fire department or code enforcement authority should consider requiring a fire watch depending on conditions. The building owner or representative should also be notified.. Submittal Date: Tue Feb 25 16:06:35 EST 2014 Removing the last sentence and adding the building owner/representative to the first sentence cleans up the section. Public Comment No. 1-NFPA 13E-2013 [Section No ]
8 Second Revision No. 6-NFPA 13E-2014 [ Section No ] 5.1.1* Fire department personnel should be aware that many buildings or properties that have a severe exposure problem are might be equipped with exterior sprinkler systems designed to provide a water curtain capable of shielding the property from fires in other buildings or in storage areas. Submittal Date: Tue Feb 25 16:08:57 EST 2014 Language clean-up, use of "are equipped" is misleading; "may be equipped" is most accurate. Public Comment No. 2-NFPA 13E-2013 [Section No ]
9 Second Revision No. 7-NFPA 13E-2014 [ Section No ] Fire departments should operate hose lines from standpipe hose valves on the intermediate stair landing or floor below the fire in high rise floor in multi-story buildings and in areas remote from the emergency in other standpipe-equipped structures. Fire Where possible to do so, fire fighters should connect and deploy hose lines from standpipe hose valves outside of any immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH) environment to ensure the safety and operational effectiveness of all fire department personnel whenever it is possible to do so. Submittal Date: Tue Feb 25 16:10:23 EST 2014 Adding intermediate stair landing matches changes within NFPA 14 and IBC requiring fire hose valves to be located on intermediate stair landing. Changing high rise to multi-story clarifies to fire personnel that standpipes can be found in buildings less than 7 stories, where typically a high rise is defined as 7 or more stories above the lowest level of fire department access. Public Comment No. 10-NFPA 13E-2013 [Section No ]
10 0 Second Revision No. 8-NFPA 13E-2014 [ Section No ] Fire departments operating in standpipe-equipped buildings should utilize appropriate appropriately sized hose lines based on their required pre-incident planning for those structures. Fire fighters should base this decision upon necessary fire flows for the hazard of the building, conditions at the time of the incident, and operational capabilities of the system. Fire departments should be cognizant of the possibility of low operating pressures that can warrant the choosing of larger hose lines of in. (63.5 mm) and nozzles that require lower operating pressures for initial fire department operations from a standpipe system. The authority having jurisdiction should have the ultimate decision in regards to regard to the fire department hose line selection for use when operating from standpipes. Submittal Date: Tue Feb 25 16:11:19 EST 2014 Increasing hose diameters while utilizing automatic nozzles requiring the same working pressure as smaller handlines does not solve the problem of ineffective hose streams when encountering low pressures at the standpipe. Adding lower operating pressure nozzles will allow effective hose streams when encountering older standpipes designed to the 65 PSI requirement or below the minimum required nozzle pressure. Public Comment No. 9-NFPA 13E-2013 [Section No ]
11 1 Second Revision No. 9-NFPA 13E-2014 [ Section No. 7.1 [Excluding any Sub-Sections] ] When a sprinkler system or wet-hose standpipe system is found to be impaired, fire department procedures should be followed as covered in Chapter 11 of NFPA 25, Standard for the Inspection, Testing, and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems. Each building owner should appoint an impairment coordinator for the purpose of authorizing planned impairments and dealing with emergency impairments. Submittal Date: Tue Feb 25 16:13:30 EST 2014 : It should not matter what type of standpipe system is included they all should be. Public Comment No. 3-NFPA 13E-2013 [Section No. 7.1 [Excluding any Sub-Sections]]
12 2 Second Revision No. 10-NFPA 13E-2014 [ Section No. A ] A Manual dry standpipes Standpipes can be combined with automatic sprinkler systems when the residual pressure from the municipal water mains provides adequate pressure and flow to the sprinkler systems. The manual dry standpipe now becomes a manual wet standpipe with automatic sprinklers. Fire departments will still need to charge the standpipe to the pressure required to give the desired working pressure at the standpipe outlets being used for hose line operations. Submittal Date: Tue Feb 25 16:14:21 EST 2014 Combination systems still require that the FDC be charged and pumped to the appropriate pressure for both systems. Public Comment No. 11-NFPA 13E-2013 [Section No. A.6.3.3]
13 3 Second Revision No. 11-NFPA 13E-2014 [ Section No. A ] A Fire department standpipe outlets are required by NFPA 14, Standard for the Installation of Standpipe and Hose Systems, to be located in the stair towers, adjacent to the horizontal exits, and near entrances to exit access corridors. However, in In some cases, however, the standpipe might be located on the exterior of the building, frequently adjacent to outside stairs or a fire escape. Accepted practice in standpipe operations is to connect the fire department hose to an outlet located at least the intermediate stair landing or one floor below the fire and to advance the line up the flight of stairs. The purpose of this practice is to prevent an intense fire on the fire floor from driving fire fighters away from the standpipe connection. Where additional lines are needed, connections can be made to lower outlets. Submittal Date: Tue Feb 25 16:16:57 EST 2014 Adding intermediate stair landing matches changes within NFPA 14 and IBC requiring fire hose valves to be located on intermediate stair landings.
