SUPERVISION OF SPRINKLER SYSTEMS, S-12 EXAM
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
The Health Dept and Bureau of Water Supply of the Dept of
Environmental Protection. A backflow preventer may be
required. - ANS -When a system filled with nonfreezing solution
is connected to a potable (drinking) water supply, it shall be
subject to requirements of:
Water supply conditions, Gravity and pressure tanks and levels
therein, Valves, Risers, Piping, Sprinkler heads and Fire
Department connections, Alarms, Fire, Booster and special
service pumps, Obstructions, etc. - ANS -A Detailed Inspection
Record notes any defects and information relative to:
Dates of inspection, CoF #, and CoF signature - ANS -What
information is indicated on an approved Riser Card?
replace or supersede the detailed record of inspection - ANS -
An approved Riser Card shall not --
,Fire Alarm System component that issues an audible, tactile, or
visual alert (horn, light, etc.) - ANS -Alarm Notification
Appliance
Signal indicating emergency requiring immediate action - ANS -
Alarm Signal
A wet pipe sprinkler system in which the piping contains
antifreeze - ANS -What is a Antifreeze Sprinkler System?
Antifreeze is discharged, followed by water, immediately upon
operation of sprinklers opened by heat from a fire - ANS -How
does an Antifreeze Sprinkler System operate?
An automatic drain valve horizontally installed at the low point
in the piping between the lower check valve and the Fire Dept
connection of automatic sprinkler systems. - ANS -What is an
Automatic Ball Drip?
Water pressure from a Fire Dept. pump automatically closes
this valve. It re-opens when pressure ceases, permitting this
,piping to drain thereby preventing freezing - ANS -How does an
Automatic Ball Drip operate?
A system where the water piping services 2 1/2'' outlets for Fire
Dept. use & outlets for automatic sprinklers - ANS -Combination
Standpipe and Sprinkler System
Recessed sprinkler with a cover plate - ANS -Concealed
Sprinkler
Designed to control a fire until it's original fuel source is
depleted or until fire-fighting activities can begin - ANS -Control
Mode Specific Application Sprinklers (CMSA)
By cooling the ceiling-level air temperature, reducing the fire's
rate of heat release, and pre-wetting adjacent combustibles -
ANS -How do CMSA Sprinklers Control fires?
Valve controlling the flow of water to water-based fire
protection systems - ANS -Control Valve
, hose valves, inspector's test valves, drain valves, trim valves,
preaction and deluge valves, check valves, or relief valves - ANS
-Control Valves DO NOT include:
An indicating control valve used for a fire sprinkler system - ANS
-OS & Y Valve (Outside Stem & Yoke)
A non-indicating gate valve w/a cast iron extension box flushed
with a sidewalk with an operating nut of 1 1/4inch. It controls
the municipal water supply serving the sprinkler system - ANS -
Curb Valve
Using a special curb key wrench - ANS -How is a Curb Valve
operated?
Sprinkler fabricated with corrosion-resistant materials or special
coatings - ANS -Corrosion-Resistant Sprinkler
A condition in which the application of the component isn't
within it's designed limits/specifications. - ANS -Deficiency
