standpipe systems


Explanation:
Standpipe systems are a series of pipe,
which connect a water supply to
hose connections; they are designed to
provide a pre-piped water system for
building occupants or the fire department.
Some older buildings only have
standpipe systems while many newer
buildings will have a combination system,
which supplies the fire sprinkler
system and the standpipe system.
Standpipe systems are designed to provide
fire protection water for hose lines
in strategically placed locations inside a
building or structure.

What is a Standpipe System?

Standpipe systems are a series of pipe which connect a water supply to hose connections, basically an extension of the fire hydrant system. They are designed to provide a pre-piped water system for building occupants or the fire department. Standpipe systems are designed to provide fire protection water for hose lines in strategically placed locations inside a building or structure. Some older buildings only have standpipe systems while many newer buildings will have a combination system, which supplies the fire sprinkler system and the standpipe system. They are most common in large floor area buildings, where most of the facility may be some distance from an outside entrance, and in multistory buildings to prevent long lengths of hose in stairwells and on the ground.
