Fire Protection Service: A service line will be connected at the street water main. The service will be routed directly across the street to an above grade double detection backflow preventer, then routed underground into the building.
Flow Test: a flow test will be conducted to determine that the city water pressure is sufficient, and not required a fire pump.
Fire service location: A mechanical space with 5'x5' room is required for the service riser. Optimally this room would be located on an exterior wall that faces the service street for an exterior door, and a location for a wall mounted fire department connection. Additionally, zone control valves servicing the wet sprinkler system system should be co-located here.
Sprinkler Piping:
Wet System: Provide seamless black steel piping with malleable fittings above grade. Schedule 40 threaded - 1" and smaller. Schedule 40 roll grooved - 2-1/2" and larger.
Pre-Action: galvanized Schedule 40 piping for drainage of piping system.
