Abstract

So far in this text, the topic of fire sprinkler systems and standpipe systems in the same building has been handled in a generic fashion. The rules for the installation and hydraulic calculation of the standpipe system depend on whether the building is sprinklered or not. But the combination of the two systems using some of the same piping has not yet been discussed. This chapter will delve into the rules of NFPA 13 and NFPA 14 regarding the combination of the sprinkler system and standpipe system for at least some of the piping in the building. See section 7.10.1.1.5 in NFPA 14 for more information on this requirement.
