All Rights Reserved NFPA? 4 Standard for the Installation of Standpipe and Hose Systems 2010 Edition ‘This edition of NFPA 14, Standard for the Installation of Standpipe and Hose Syms, was prepared by the Technical Committee on Standpipes, Inwas issued by the Standards Council ‘on October 27, 2008, with an effective date of December 5, 2000, and supersedes all previous tcditions, ‘This edition of NFPA 1 was approved as an American National Standard on December 5 2000, Origin and Development of NFPA M4 ‘This standard dates from 1919, when an initial report was made by the Commitice on Standpipe and Hose Systems. The report was amended in 1914 and adopted by the Associ tion in 1915. Revisions were adopted in 1917. Additional revisions were submited by the Committee on Field Practice and adopted in 126, 1927, 1931, 1938 (included action by the NEPA Board of Directors), 194, and 1945, The Committee on Sundpipes recommenced revisions adopted in 1949, 1952, 1963, 1968, 1960, 1970, 1971, 1973, 1974, 1976, 1978, 1980, 1982, 1985, and 1990, ‘The 1993 edition of NFPA Hf was a complete reorginization of the doasment. The “wer Aicnaliness” of NFPA LA was evaluated, and numerous changes followed, The standard was at ranged to provide fora logical sytem designapproxich where designingand instalinga aandpipe system. Substantive changes to the 1993 edition were the result of experience with standpipe systems under fie conditions, Flow rites, pressures, and the specific location of the hove connections were studied to determine optimum combinations for each factor ‘The 1996 edition of NFPA 14 was a continuation of the changes that were initiated for the 1998 edition, Some definitions were expanded, and certain requirements for piping materi- als, pipe support, witeiflow alarms, valves, ire department connections, system testing, and \watersupplies wererevised. In addition, number of editorial changes were made toimprove the user ficndliness of the document, ‘The 2000 edition of NFPA 14 incorporated requirements for hydrants, hose houses, and master streams previously contained in NFPA 24, Standard for the Installation of Private Fire Senace Mains and Their Appurtenancet. Also included in this vision were test procedures for fire flow testing and marking of hydrants previously contained in NFPA 201, Recommended Practice for Fie Po Testing and Marking of Pydants, ‘The 2008 edition was reformatted to conform to the Manual af Sle for NFPA Technical Commitee Documents, 200 edition. Hydraulic calculation requirements were rewritten for clatification, and requirements for horizontal standpipes were added, Guidance for hydrants, hhoe houses, and master streams were deleted as this information was retained by NFPA 13, tandari for the Instalation of Sprinkler Systems, and NEPA, Standard forthe Installation of Private Fire Semice Mains and Their Appurtenance. Similarly, test procedures for fre flow testing and marking of hydrants were retumed to NFPA 201, Recommended Practice for Fir Flo Testing and Masking of Hydvants thus “private hydrant” was removed from the title of NFPA 14. ‘The 2007 edition included guidance on the use of pressure-regulating devices and roof ‘outlets for standpipe systems. Related information wis extracted from NFPA 13, Standard Jor the Installation of Sprinkler Systems, to assist the user in applications involving combined sprinkler /standpipe systems ‘The 2010 edition of NFPA 14 now permits express mains supplying higher zone standpipes to be designed with pressures in excess of 350 psi (21 bar), The requirements for stand pe system zones have been extensively revieed forclarfication, The requirements or pipe sched tle design have been deleted, and all sandpipe systemsare now required to be hydraulically calculated. The requirements to balance hydraulic junction points have been deleted. New requirementshave been added to address standpipe systems risers that terminate at different oor levels. new definition for horizontal standpipe as been added.

Hose stations should be so arranged as o allow die. charge to be directed from the nozzle into all portions of im- portant enclosures such as closets and similar enclosures A.L5. Fire department connections feeding interconnected standpipes, including combined systems, should be arranged to supply all interconnected stanepipes in a building or sec- tion of a building. See Figure A.7.1(a), Figure A7.1(b), and Figure A7.1(c). Interwonnection should oceur as close to the source of supply{ies) as possible. ‘Standpipesystemsin separate buildings or structures fed by the sume witer supply are not required to be interconnected, For example, a building might have an automaticwet stand pipe system’ while an adjacent parking garage has an automaticly standpipe system fed by the sime fire pump and water main, These two standpipe systems are not required to bbe interconnected since they protect different structures, AZL8 Where determining the pressure at the outlet of the emote hose connection, the pressure loss in the hose valve should be considered, his very important that fire departments choose an appro- priate novile type for their standpipe fire-fighting operations, Constant pressure (automatic) ype spray nozzles (we NFPA 1964, Sandard for Spray Nossles) should not be used for standpipe operations because many of these types require tminimum of 100 pi (6. bar) of pressure atthe nozzle inet to produce reasonably elfective fre stream. In standpipe oper tions, hose fiction lors could prevent the delivery of 1H) psi (629 bar) to the nozzle. In high-tse standpipe systems with pressure-reducing hose salves, the fire depattment as little or no control over hose valve outlet pressure.
