1 of 123 6/10/2014 9:07 AM First Revision No. 117-NFPA [ Global Input ] The distances in shall be reduced to 130 ft (39.7 m) when manual dry standpipes are installed in open parking garages. Submitter Full Name: Chad Duffy Organization: National Fire Protection Assoc Submittal Date: Wed Apr 09 14:36:10 EDT 2014 : This new section will correlate with the IBC section Exception #3. Response Message: Public Input No. 92-NFPA [New Section after ]

2 of 123 6/10/2014 9:07 AM First Revision No. 118-NFPA [ Global Input ] Nonrequired stairs connecting two adjacent floors shall not require hose connections. Submitter Full Name: Chad Duffy Organization: National Fire Protection Assoc Submittal Date: Wed Apr 09 14:39:43 EDT 2014 Committee Statement: Many times a convenience stair will be located in a building that requires standpipes. Many AHJ's insist that if the stair is provided, it must be required and therefore a standpipe must be provided. Many times this stair is in a lobby or open area and providing hose outlets is difficult to accomplish. Response Message: Public Input No. 140-NFPA [New Section after ]

3 of 123 6/10/2014 9:07 AM First Revision No. 119-NFPA [ Global Input ] A single hose connections shall be permitted to be installed in the corridor or breezeway between open stairs that are not greater than 75 ft (23 m) apart. Submitter Full Name: Chad Duffy Organization: National Fire Protection Assoc Submittal Date: Wed Apr 09 14:42:34 EDT 2014 Committee Statement: Currently the standard requires hose connections in required exit stairs. A typical arrangement found on many garden style apartments is to have (2) egress stairs spaced rather close which provides occupants two means of egress. These stairwells are generally open. Many AHJ's require a standpipe for each stairwell. Since the stairs are open, allowing a single standpipe/hose connection in the corridor should not pose any greater risk. The attached PDF is for reference only to illustrate the scenario and is not intended to be used for a figure. Response Message: Public Input No. 91-NFPA [New Section after ]

(6 mm) shall be connected to installed at each discharge pipe from the fire pump and the public waterworks, at the pressure tank, at each main drain connection, at the air pump supplying the pressure tank, and at the top of each standpipe. Submittal Date: Tue Mar 04 13:47:57 EST 2014 Committee Statement: This language aligns more closely with NFPA 13. NFPA 13 states: Gauges Apressure gauge with a connection not smaller than 1 4 in. (6 mm) shall be installed at the system main drain, at each main drain associated with a floor control valve, and on the inlet and outlet side of each pressure-reducing valve Each gauge connection shall be equipped with a shutoff valve and provisions for draining The required pressure gauges shall be approved and shall have a maximum limit not less than twice the normal system working pressure at the point where installed Gauges shall be installed to permit removal and shall be located where they will not be subject to freezing.

36 5 of 123 6/10/2014 9:07 AM First Revision No. 15-NFPA [ Section No ] Gauges shall be located in a place so that water cannot freeze to permit removal and shall be located where they will not be subject to freezing. Submittal Date: Tue Mar 04 14:58:09 EST 2014 Committee Statement: We have seen more than a few pressure gauge installations in the field where the gauge was installed in a location where it was impossible to remove the gauge for inspection or replacement of the gauge. The existing text does not have anything about locating the gauge assembly as to permit removal of the gauge. if the gauge is inaccessible, this makes it more difficult to perform required testing and maintenance, and the building owner has additional costs of repairs to make the gauges accessible. NFPA : "System valves and gauges shall be accessible for operation, inspection, tests, and maintenance." NFPA : "Gauges shall be installed to permit removal and shall be located where they will not be subject to freezing." It only makes sense to have the Standpipe installation standard consistent with the Sprinkler installation standard with regards to accessibility and removal of the gauge.

Supplemental Information File Name A _FR_23_with_SL_response.docx Description Submittal Date: Tue Mar 04 16:08:10 EST 2014 Committee Statement: Added the word approved in front of check valve. Also added explanatory language in the annex in regards to manual standpipes. This is good guidance in regards to the water supply for manual wet standpipes. There should probably be even more guidance in regards to the piping up to the standpipe and if any flow or tamper requirements should apply. Insert new annex A Response Message: Public Input No. 77-NFPA [Section No ]

44 A Manual wet standpipe systems can be installed by themselves or as part of a combination system. Usually with a combination system, there will be the required valves as part of the sprinkler system requirements from either NFPA 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems or NFPA 13R, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems in Low Rise Residential Occupancies. In systems with only a manual wet standpipe, connection to any readily available water source is acceptable. The control and check valves only need to be approved. A common scenario is to connect the system to the potable water system which may require some form of cross connection control which may satisfy the valving requirement. There is no minimum size requirement for this connection.

Submittal Date: Tue Mar 04 17:02:23 EST 2014 Committee Statement: There should be no need to require the control and check to be the same size as the connection. If the hydraulic calculations for the sprinkler system prove it works, then the size shouldn't be regulated. An example might be where a single saddle is drilled into the standpipe and 2 1/2" is piped out and teed to a hose connection. Then the piping is reduced to 1 1/2" for the sprinkler system because it is all that is needed. As written, the sprinkler control and check would need to be 2 1/2" which makes no sense.
