 New York Standpipe Fire Sprinklers

Standpipe Fire Sprinklers with NFPA Sign

 Standpipe systems are designed and engineered to deliver an adequate pressurized volume of water to each of the designated fire department connections (FDC) to attach fire hose connections aiding building occupants or the New York fire department in fighting a fire. This allows firefighters easy access to fire department connections on every story and floor of a building or to isolated buildings, structures or facilities. A valve will easily open all fire department connections plumbed in that zone and supply a pressurized volume of water to all connections.

 Standpipe systems play an important role in protecting multi-floor, multi-story, large facilities, yards, structures or buildings in New York. Standpipe systems may have installed vertical sprinkler pipes known as "risers" and horizontal sprinkler pipes installed throughout the building or facility. Fire pumps may be used to increase water pressure, increasing the PSI of water is referred to as “total head”, sprinkler systems work best when there is an adequate pressurized water supply to feed fire sprinkler systems and standpipe sprinkler systems. Water tanks can be installed on the roof of a building allowing gravity to assist increasing water pressure this is called a gravity fed pressurized system.

New York Wet Standpipe
Fire Sprinkler Systems

Fire extinguishing agents such as water, foam, chemical or gas like carbon dioxide (CO2) are generally kept void from the system under normal conditions by regulating air pressure with dry pipe valves.

This allows for an automatic supply of water if one of the fire department connections or fire hose connections valves are opened. If the need for rapid response is required fire pumps, accelerator or exhauster systems can be installed to expedite the flow.

New York Manual Standpipe Systems
