Verified
What is a Pump Inspection and Maintenance ? - ✔ ✔ In order to
ensure the reliable operation of the
pump in the case of an emergency, regular inspections and
maintenance shall be
conducted by the Certificate of Fitness holder. The pump shall be
activated as indicated in
the reference guide and run for 10 minutes in accordance with the
manufacturer's
specifications. When the pump is in operation a small water leak on the
pump bearings is
desirable and should not be considered a malfunction. Additionally,
water should discharge from a circulation relief valve (electric pump) or
heat exchanger (diesel pump)
while the fire pump is operating under a "no-flow" condition.
What factor that may require further investigation? - ✔ ✔
Installations that don't appear to be
correct including sprinkler heads located more than 22 inches below
the ceiling or
structure, sprinklers not installed in accordance with their listing, using
sprinklers with
,different RTI in the same protected area or the wrong RTI for the
occupancy classification,
undersized piping, incompatible piping materials, flexible sprinkler
hoses not attached to the building structure, along with areas of the
building not protected by the sprinkler
system all require further investigation by a qualified MFSPC
Sprinkler Cross Mains is connected to what pipe? - ✔ ✔ The portion
of the piping system connecting supplying the branch
lines either directly or through risers.
Standpipe Branch Piping - ✔ ✔ The portion of the piping system
connecting one or more hose
valve stations.
Sprinkler Feed Mains is connected to what pipe? - ✔ ✔ The portion
of the piping system downstream of a sectional or floor
control valve supplying cross mains
Sprinkler Branch Piping is connected to what pipe? - ✔ ✔ The
portion of the piping system to which the sprinkler heads or nozzles are
directly connected to.
What is a FOAM EXTINGUISHING SYSTEMS? - ✔ ✔ Foam is very
effective and is the most
common method of fighting fires in fuel
oil storage. Foam is created by mixing a
,3% foamite concentrate with water and
air.
The foam is designed to smother the flame and prevent re-ignition.
Fixed foam-generating
systems automatically control the water and foam concentrate mixture.
TESTING AND MAINTENANCE is done by who? - ✔ ✔ The testing
and maintenance of water based foam fire suppression piping systems
shall
only be performed by a licensed MFSPC (master fire suppression piping
contractor) with
a CLASS A LICENSE and a valid S-15 COF.
INITIAL INSTALLATION AND PERIODIC PERFORMANCE TESTING? - ✔
✔ Foam fire extinguishing systems shall be subject to acceptance
tests as contained in the
installation standards set forth in NYC Fire Code and the NYC Fire Rules.
When a
discharge test is not required by the installation standard, the Fire
Commissioner may
require such test when there is evidence that the system will not
provide the necessary
level of protection. Such tests as required by the Fire Commissioner
shall be conducted at
, the owner's risk by his or her representative before a representative of
the NYC Fire
Department every 2 years
What is a FOAM-WATER SPRINKLER SYSTEM TYPES? - ✔ ✔ Foam-
Water Sprinkler Systems are similar to Fire Sprinkler Systems in their
operation.
What is a Pre-primed Foam-Water Systems? - ✔ ✔ Operation is the
same as a wet sprinkler system with
fusible links on the sprinkler heads or discharge nozzles with system
piping charged with a
foam solution.
What is a Dry Pipe Foam-Water Systems? - ✔ ✔ operation is the
same as a dry pipe sprinkler system
using sprinkler heads or discharge nozzles with fusible links and system
piping under
pneumatic pressure. Upon the operation of a fusible link, the
pneumatic pressure is
released and the dry pipe valve opens permitting the water/foam
solution into the system.
What is a Pre-Action Foam-Water Sprinkler Systems? - ✔ ✔
equipped with sprinklers or nozzles with
fusible links along with a detection system in the protected area that
may be electrically,
