STANDPIPES
-
A Standpipe System is a rigid series of pipes that connect a water supply to a series of fire hose connections.
Standpipes provide water to hose lines that are strategically placed in a building. This system can be thought of as an extension of the fire hydrant system.
All Standpipe Systems are required to be installed and maintained in compliance with NFPA 14. Our team of Local 268 Fire Sprinkler Experts are fully certified and licensed to install and maintain Standpipe Systems that meet the needs of your project.

Standpipe Systems are most commonly found in multi-story buildings and buildings that have large floor areas.
Standpipes are commonly found between each pair of floors in the stairwells of multi-story buildings.
Standpipes prevent fire professionals from having to drag fire hoses up multiple levels of stairs. The rigidity of Standpipes keeps stairwells clear for safe evacuation. The direct upward and downward position of a Standpipe System also reduces water pressure loss by avoiding any kinking or curling.
