S-13 AND S-14 STANDPIPE SYSTEM FINAL PAPER
2026 COMPLETE ANSWERS VERIFIED
◉ Pressure Restricting Device. Answer: A valve or device designed
for the purpose of reducing of reducing the downstream water
pressure under both flowing (residual) and non-flowing (static)
conditions
◉ Pressure Reducing Valve. Answer: A valve or device designed for
the purpose of reducing of reducing the downstream water pressure
under flowing (residual) conditions only.
◉ Pressure Tank. Answer: A tank using air pressure to supplying
water for water-based fire protection systems. Tank contents to be
maintained at one third air to two thirds water.
◉ Quick Response Sprinkler Head. Answer: A sprinkler having a
fusible link with a response time index (RTI) of 50 or less.
◉ Recessed Sprinkler. Answer: A sprinkler in which all or part of the
body, other than the shank thread, is mounted above the ceiling.
, ◉ Standpipe System. Answer: An arrangement of piping, valves, and
hose connections installed in a structure to deliver water for fire
hoses.
◉ Combination Standpipe and Sprinkler System. Answer: A system
where the fire protection piping services both 21⁄2 in. (65 mm)
outlets for fire department use and outlets for automatic sprinklers.
◉ Static Pressure. Answer: The measurement of sytem pressure
inder NON FLOW CONDITIONS.
◉ Standpipe/ Multi-Zone. Answer: A standpipe system that is
vertically subdivided as required by the construction codes,
including the Building Code, into zones to limit the maximum
operating pressure in the system. Each zone will have its own
individual automatic water supply.
◉ Supervisory Signal. Answer: A signal indicating the need for
action in connection with the supervision of guard tours, fire
extinguishing systems or equipment, fire alarm systems or the
maintenance features of related systems.
◉ Supervisory Signal-Initiating Device. Answer: An initiating device,
such as a valve supervisory switch, water level indicator, or low-air
pressure switch on a dry-pipe or pre-action sprinkler system, that
triggers a supervisory signal.
