The Standard shall cover the minimum requirements for the
installation of private service mains and their appurtenances,
which include the following ......ANSWER........-Automatic Sprinkler
Systems
-Open Sprinkler Systems
-Water Spray Fixed Systems
-Foam Systems
-Private Hydrants
,age 2 of 34
-Monitor Nozzles or Standpipe Systems with reference to water
supplies
-Hose Houses
The standard shall apply to combined service mains intended to
carry water for fire service and other uses
This standard shall NOT apply to the following situations
......ANSWER........-Mains under the control of a water utility
-Mains providing fire protection and/or domestic water that are
privately owned but are operated as a water utility
Residual Pressure ......ANSWER........The pressure that exists in the
distribution system, measured at the residual hydrant at the time
the flow readings are taken at the flow hydrants.
,age 3 of 34
Static Pressure ......ANSWER........The pressure that exists at a
given point under normal distribution system conditions measured
at the residual hydrant with no hydrants flowing.
Check Valve ......ANSWER........A valve that allows flow in one
direction but prevents flow in the opposite direction.
Indicating Valve ......ANSWER........A valve that has components
that show if the valve is open or closed. Examples are outside
screw and yoke (OS&Y) gate valves and underground gate
valves with indicator posts.
Dry-Barrel Hydrant ......ANSWER........Fire hydrant that has its
operating valve located at the base or foot of the hydrant
rather than in the barrel of the hydrant. When operating
properly, there is no water in the barrel of the hydrant when it is
, age 4 of 34
not in use. These hydrants are used in areas where freezing may
occur.
Flow Hydrant ......ANSWER........The hydrant that is used for the
flow and flow measurement of water during a flow test.
Private Fire Hydrant ......ANSWER........A valved connection on a
water supply system having one or more outlets that is used to
supply hose and fire department pumpers with water on private
property.
Public Hydrant ......ANSWER........A valved connection on a water
supply system having one or more outlets that is used to supply
hose and fire department pumpers with water.
Residual Hydrant ......ANSWER........The hydrant that is used for
measuring static and residual pressures during a flow test
