7 QUESTIONS WHAT ARE THE BASIC TYPES OF FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS?
8 TYPES OF WATER-BASED FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS AUTOMATIC FIRE SPRINKLER SYSTEMS CAN BE CATEGORIZED INTO FOUR BASIC TYPES: WET PIPE, DRY PIPE, PREACTION AND DELUGE. WET PIPE SPRINKLER SYSTEMS DRY PIPE SPRINKLER SYSTEMS PREACTION SYSTEMS DELUGE SYSTEMS
9 WET PIPE SPRINKLER SYSTEMS WET PIPE SYSTEMS ARE INSTALLED IN AREAS WHERE THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE IS MAINTAINED AT OR ABOVE 40 F. THESE SYSTEMS HAVE WATER IN THE PIPE AT ALL TIMES. WHEN A SPRINKLER IS ACTIVATED BY HEAT FROM A FIRE, WATER WILL FLOW IMMEDIATELY FROM THE ACTIVATED SPRINKLER.
10 DRY-PIPE SPRINKLER SYSTEMS DRY-PIPE SPRINKLER SYSTEMS ARE USUALLY INSTALLED IN LARGE UNHEATED AREAS, SUCH AS PARKING GARAGES. THESE SYSTEMS HAVE PRESSURIZED AIR OR NITROGEN IN THE PIPE WHICH KEEPS THE DRY PIPE VALVE CLOSED. WHEN A SPRINKLER ACTIVATES THE AIR IS RELEASED ALLOWING THE DRY PIPE VALVE TO OPEN AND FILLING THE SYSTEM WITH WATER.
11 PREACTION SYSTEMS PREACTION SPRINKLER SYSTEMS WILL USUALLY BE FOUND IN AREAS WERE WATER OR WATER DAMAGE IS A MAJOR CONCERN, SUCH AS IN LARGE FOOD STORAGE FREEZERS, COMPUTER ROOMS AND IN ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT AREAS. THE PIPING IN A PREACTION SYSTEM WILL CONTAIN AIR OR NITROGEN WHICH CAN BE PRESSURIZED OR NON-PRESSURIZED. WATER TO THE SYSTEM IS HELD BACK BY THE PREACTION VALVE, WHICH IS CONNECTED TO A FIRE DETECTION SYSTEM. IF A FIRE OCCURS, THE DETECTION SYSTEM WILL SEND A SIGNAL TO OPEN THE PREACTION VALVE WHICH THEN ALLOWS WATER INTO THE SYSTEM S PIPING.
12 DELUGE SYSTEMS DELUGE SYSTEMS ARE INSTALLED IN AREAS SUCH AS AIRCRAFT HANGERS, WERE THE POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE FIRE CONDITIONS IS LIKELY. ALL THE SPRINKLERS IN A DELUGE SYSTEM ARE OPEN WHICH MEANS THE SYSTEM S PIPING IS NOT PRESSURIZED. WATER TO THE SYSTEM IS HELD BACK BY THE DELUGE VALVE, WHICH IS CONNECTED TO A FIRE DETECTION SYSTEM. IF A FIRE OCCURS, THE DETECTION SYSTEM WILL SEND A SIGNAL TO OPEN THE DELUGE VALVE WHICH THEN ALLOWS WATER TO DISCHARGE FROM ALL OF THE SPRINKLERS ON THE SYSTEM.
13 MANUAL TYPE WATER- BASED FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEMS: STANDPIPE SYSTEMS STANDPIPE SYSTEMS PROVIDE FIRE HOSE CONNECTIONS INSIDE OF A BUILDING FOR THE PURPOSE OF MANUAL FIRE FIGHTING. THESE SYSTEMS MAYBE SUPPLIED FROM THE SPRINKLER SYSTEM OR THEY MAY BE INDIVIDUAL STANDALONE SYSTEMS WITH THEIR OWN SEPARATE WATER SUPPLY. ONE OTHER DESIGN OPTION FOR STANDPIPE SYSTEM IS THAT THE SYSTEM HAS NO PERMANENT WATER SUPPLY BUT RELIES INSTEAD ON THE FIRE DEPARTMENT S PUMPER TRUCK TO SUPPLY WATER TO THE SYSTEM.
14 QUESTIONS ARE FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM CONSIDERED CROSS CONNECTIONS? WHAT TYPES OF FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS REQUIRE CONTROL? DO DRY-PIPE SYSTEMS REQUIRE CONTROL?
15 GENERAL CDPHE CONTROL EXPECTATIONS FOR FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS FROM SAFE DRINKING WATER PROGRAM POLICY 7: Assembly or Method Type Testable Assemblies Reduced Pressure Zone Backflow Prevention Assembly Reduced Pressure Zone Fire Protection Backflow Prevention Assembly Reduced Pressure Zone Detector Fire Protection Backflow Prevention Assembly Double Check Backflow Prevention Assembly Double Check Fire Protection Backflow Prevention Assembly Double Check Detector Fire Protection Backflow Prevention Assembly Backflow Prevention Assemblies or Methods installed in accordance with the most recent version of the Colorado Plumbing Code Abbreviation RPZ RPF RPD DC DCF DCD CPC Typical Appropriate Uses (Note: see also Section 4.5 Site-specific Deviation Criteria)) Appropriate for any identified contaminant except direct connections to sewer or installations which may impair the integrity of the assembly to function as designed. Appropriate for cross connections to fire suppression systems. Appropriate for cross connections to fire suppression systems except when upstream of a chemical other than food grade glycerin.
16 GENERAL CPC CONTROL EXPECTATIONS FOR FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS FROM COLORADO PLUMBING CODE (2015 INTERNATIONAL PLUMBING CODE): Connections to automatic fire sprinkler systems and standpipe systems. The potable water supply to automatic fire sprinkler and standpipe systems shall be protected against backflow by a double check backflow prevention assembly, a double check fire protection backflow prevention assembly or a reduced pressure principle fire protection backflow prevention assembly. Exceptions: 1. Where systems are installed as a portion of the water distribution system in accordance with the requirements of this code and are not provided with a fire department connection, isolation of the water supply system shall not be required. (Multi-Purpose Systems) 2. Isolation of the water distribution system is not required for deluge, preaction or dry pipe systems.
17 GENERAL CPC CONTROL EXPECTATIONS FOR FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS CONT. FROM COLORADO PLUMBING CODE (2015 INTERNATIONAL PLUMBING CODE): Additives or nonpotable source. Where systems under continuous pressure contain chemical additives or antifreeze, or where systems are connected to a nonpotable secondary water supply, the potable water supply shall be protected against backflow by a reduced pressure principle backflow prevention assembly or a reduced pressure principle fire protection backflow prevention assembly. Where chemical additives or antifreeze are added to only a portion of an automatic fire sprinkler or standpipe system, the reduced pressure principle backflow prevention assembly or the reduced pressure principle fire protection backflow prevention assembly shall be permitted to be located so as to isolate that portion of the system. Where systems are not under continuous pressure, the potable water supply shall be protected against backflow by an air gap or an atmospheric vacuum breaker conforming to ASSE 1001 or CSA B
18 CDPHE CONTROL EXPECTATIONS BY FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM TYPE WET PIPE SPRINKLER SYSTEMS, DRY-PIPE SYSTEMS, PREACTION SYSTEMS, & DELUGE SYSTEMS WITH CHEMICAL ADDITIVES Water stored in Wet Sprinkler FSS with chemical addition could present acute biological and chemical health risks and could compromise the water quality of the public water system and/or a water supply system. Dry-pipe, Preaction, or Deluge FSS with chemical additions could present acute biological and chemical health risks and could compromise the water quality of the public water system and/or a water supply system. Connections between the potable water supply and a fire suppression system with chemical addition need to be controlled in accordance with Regulation Based on industry standards such connections may be controlled via an air gap, a RPZ, RPF, or an RPD.
19 CDPHE CONTROL EXPECTATIONS BY FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM TYPE WET PIPE SPRINKLER SYSTEMS, DRY-PIPE SYSTEMS, PREACTION SYSTEMS, & DELUGE SYSTEMS CONNECTED TO AN ALTERNATIVE WATER SUPPLY Fire suppression systems connected to an alternative water supply could present an acute biological and chemical health risks and could compromise the water quality of the public water system and/or a water supply system. (Well high nitrates, surface water biological contaminants) Connections between the potable water supply and a fire suppression system connected to an alternative water supply need to be controlled in accordance with Regulation Based on industry standards such connections may be controlled via an air gap, a RPZ, RPF, or an RPD.
20 CDPHE CONTROL EXPECTATIONS BY FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM TYPE WET PIPE SPRINKLER SYSTEMS, PREACTION SYSTEMS, DELUGE SYSTEMS & DELUGE SYSTEMS WITH FOOD GRADE GLYCERIN AS CHEMICAL ADDITIVE Water stored in Wet Sprinkler FSS with food grade glycerin as the chemical additive could present acute biological and chemical health risks and could compromise the water quality of the public water system and/or a water supply system. Dry-pipe, Preaction, or Deluge FSS with food grade glycerin as the chemical additive could present acute biological and chemical health risks and could compromise the water quality of the public water system and/or a water supply system. Connections between the potable water supply and a fire suppression system with chemical addition need to be controlled in accordance with Regulation Based on industry standards such connections may be controlled via an air gap, a RPZ, RPF, RPD, DC, DCF or DCD.
21 CDPHE CONTROL EXPECTATIONS BY FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM TYPE WET PIPE SPRINKLER SYSTEMS WITHOUT CHEMICAL ADDITIVES Water stored in fire suppression systems without chemical addition could present acute biological health risks and could compromise the water quality of the public water system and/or a water supply system. Connections between the potable water supply and a fire suppression system without chemical addition need to be controlled in accordance with Regulation Based on industry standards such connections may be controlled via an air gap, a RPZ, RPF, RPD, DCF, DCD or a DC.
22 CDPHE CONTROL EXPECTATIONS BY FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM TYPE DRY-PIPE SPRINKLER SYSTEMS & PREACTION SYSTEMS WITHOUT CHEMICAL ADDITION Per the Colorado Plumbing Code no isolation of the water distribution system is required, however there are known risks from these types of systems. Dry-Pipe Sprinkler systems and Preaction systems have the potential to be operated in a manner for which it was not originally designed. For example, a dry-pipe system can be operated as a wet system during part of the year and then be charged with air for the months of freezing weather. When a dry-pipe system or preaction system is maintained water could be introduced into the system. If the systems are not properly drained a cross connection exist. Department will open this to stakeholder process to determine appropriate control for new and existing connections.
23 CDPHE CONTROL EXPECTATIONS BY FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM TYPE DELUGE SYSTEMS WITHOUT CHEMICAL ADDITION Per the Colorado Plumbing Code no isolation of the water distribution system is required. Deluge systems are open to the atmosphere. CDPHE does not consider it a cross connection therefore no control is required.
