NFPA 24-2019 is a comprehensive standard that provides requirements for the installation of private fire service mains and their appurtenances. This standard is essential for fire protection system designers and authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs) to ensure the effectiveness of water-based fire protection.

The standard covers various aspects including the location and identification of department connections, protection of fire service mains, and the valves controlling water supplies. It also addresses underground fire service mains and related equipment, yard piping for automatic sprinkler systems, yard hydrants, standpipes, and other water-based systems.
