NFPA 20 - Standard for the Installation of Stationary Fire Pumps for Fire Protection and Handbook
Standard for the Installation of Stationary Fire Pumps for Fire Protection presents the latest rules for installing all types of pumps including centrifugal, vertical shaft turbine-type, and positive displacement. Some of the most complex fire pump jobs are in high-rises, and the 2010 NFPA 20 includes an all-new Chapter 5 on high-rise buildings with special provisions based on design practices, risk exposure, and fire fighter operations. Work with the new best practices for everything from electric drives and controllers to acceptance testing, performance, and maintenance.
Stationary Fire Pumps Handbook is your only source for authoritative information, requirements, and advice. In addition to expanded and new commentary, the Handbook includes the full 2010 texts of NFPA 20, NFPA 24: Standard for the Installation of Private Fire Service Mains and Their Appurtenances, and NFPA 291: Recommended Practice for Fire Flow Testing and Marking of Hydrants. It also includes extracts from 2010 NFPA 13: Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems, 2007 NFPA 14: Standard for the Installation of Standpipe and Hose Systems, 2008 NFPA 22: Standard for Water Tanks for Private Fire Protection, and 2009 NFPA 1: Fire Code. Systems designers, installers, and AHJs involved with water-based fire protection will access a wealth of timely advice in an easy-to-use format.
