Description

NFPA 14, Standard for the Installation of Standpipes and Hose Systems, has been reorganized and rewritten. For the 2024 edition, a substantial effort was made to focus on the needs of the AHJ when it comes to specific design requirements in the standard. This presentation will discuss the new structure of NFPA 14, additional installation requirements for scissor stairs and other special arrangements, the evaluation of pumping capabilities of the fire department, and the effect on the design and pressure limitation on a standpipe system.

Upon completion of this seminar, attendees will be able to:

  • Locate and identify the requirements in the reorganized edition of NFPA 14.
  • Determine when redundant installation features are required based on fire department pumping capabilities.
  • Identify and apply the requirements for vertical standpipe system zones
