S12 SPRINKLER TEST ACTUAL EXAM PAPER
2026 QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS GRADED
A+
◉ system control valve. Answer: valve controlling flow to water-based
fire protection systems.
◉ fire command center. Answer: Designated room or area in a structure
where the status of the fire detection, alarm, and protection systems is
displayed and the systems can be manually controlled.
◉ Fire pump, automatic standpipe. Answer: A fire pump located at or
below street level that supplies the lower 300 feet (91.4 m) of a
standpipe system or a combined standpipe and sprinkler system.
◉ tags. Answer: on closed section valves serving affected areas: area
affected, brief description, occupancy classification, c of f number,
estimated time until operational
◉ Green tag. Answer: no impairment found in entire system- main
control valve
,◉ red tag. Answer: place on main control valve if FULLY out of
service.. put sprinkler company name, date of removal from service and
anticipated time to operational
◉ blue disk. Answer: partially out of service- on all fire department
connections
◉ water storage tank. Answer: Collects cooled water
◉ OS & Y valve. Answer: indicating type of control valve used for fire
sprinkler system
◉ deluge valve. Answer: water supply control valve intended to be
operated by actuation of an automatic detection system that is installed
in the same area as the discharge devices. INTENDED USE IS
MANUAL AND AUTO
◉ deluge sprinkler system. Answer: employing open sprinklers that are
attached to a piping system that is connected to a water supply through a
valve that is opened by the operation of a detection system installed in
the same areas as the sprinklers. WHEN IT OPENS, water flows into the
piping system and discharges from all sprinklers attached.
,◉ Early suppresion fast response sprinklers. Answer: fast response
sprinkler that is listed for its capability to provide fire suppression of
specific high challenge fire hazards
◉ extra large orifice sprinklers. Answer: = or > 1 inch less pressure to
achieve a given discharge density
◉ extended coverage sprinkler. Answer: 400 max square feet discharge
20 foot by 20 foot spacing between sprinklers
◉ fire pump. Answer: a provider of liquid flow and pressure dedicated
to fire protection. A fire pump is a part of a fire sprinklers system water
supply and can be powered by electric, diesel or steam. connected to
public water source or tank. provides higher pressure to sprinkler system
◉ Glass bulb sprinkler. Answer: operated by heat breaking a glass bulb
filled with a non freezing liquid with diameters that vary form 3 mm for
quick response to 5 mm for standard response
◉ hose valve. Answer: valve to additional hose connection
◉ hydraulic placard. Answer: sign attached to a hydraulically calculated
sprinkler system indicating the design density, required gallons per
minute and pressure for the system to operate properly
, ◉ hydraulically calculated systems. Answer: method of sizing auto
sprinkler piping using a prescribed amount of water to be distributed
over a specific area.
◉ impairment coordinator. Answer: in charge of safety during out of
service systems
◉ intermediate level sprinkler. Answer: sprinkler equipped with integral
shields to protect the operating elemtn form discharge from sprinklers
installed at higher elevations
◉ large orifice sprinkler. Answer: sprinkler head with orifice size equal
or greater than 3/4 and less than 1 inch
◉ listed device. Answer: A fire protection component that has been
tested to perform under parameters specified for its use by a nationally
recognized testing agency. Underwriter's Laboratory (UL) and Factory
Mutual (FM) are the two most common.
◉ Master Pressure Reducing Valve. Answer: A pressure reducing valve
installed to regulate pressures in an entire fire protection system and/or
standpipe system zone.
◉ Main Drain. Answer: The primary drain connection located on the
system riser and also utilized as a flow test connection.
