Stationary Fire Pumps Handbook
Also Known As:
The Stationary Fire Pumps Handbook is a comprehensive resource that addresses the requirements of NFPA 20 and NFPA 14 for fire pumps and standpipe systems. It provides expert advice and guidance on compliance and ensuring error-free functionality of fire pumps and standpipe systems. The handbook is based on the 2019 edition of NFPA 20 and the 2016 edition of NFPA 14.
The handbook offers advanced guidance on various types of equipment and covers topics such as water supply availability and reliability. It includes an exclusive overview of fire pump configurations, providing examples and explanations of the purpose of components in each arrangement. Additionally, the handbook features a diagram that helps designers and engineers understand how multistage, multiport pumps can eliminate the need for pumps in series, potentially saving costs.
The handbook is divided into four parts. Part I includes the complete 2019 edition of NFPA 20, along with expert commentary. Part II features the complete 2016 edition of NFPA 14, also with expert commentary. Part III focuses on water supply requirements, water demand, hydrants, tanks, and piping, incorporating selected water supply documents with supporting explanations and advice. Part IV includes supplements such as considerations for designing and selecting a fire pump, interrelationships of NFPA standards, commissioning and inspection forms, and NEC Article 695 on fire pumps.
The handbook offers design features that enhance accessibility, including shading and change symbols to indicate where changes have occurred, "Ask the AHJ" and FAQs to avoid common errors, "Design Alerts" for relevant commentary on design issues, calculation examples separate from commentary, and a "See More" feature for easy navigation. Summary of Technical Changes tables for NFPA 20 and NFPA 14 provide a brief overview of major code changes from previous editions.
