Tech Tuesday Description: Ever wonder what a Vertical Standpipe System Zone is or when we are required to divide standpipes into zones? Well, join us for a look at Vertical Standpipe System Zones. We will cover vertical standpipe system zones and the requirements found in NFPA 14 Standard for the Installation of Standpipe and Hose Systems. We will look at the minimums and maximum pressure allowances for standpipes and the requirements for pressure-regulating devices. How we determine the need for zones, along with the general and above and below levels of fire department pump capability, requirements for vertical standpipe system zones. Concluding with designs from the annex of the standard showing examples of acceptable design.
