Dry and Wet Standpipes
Local laws and fire codes dictate whether or not a standpipe system is required for your building. High-rise buildings over 40ft generally require a standpipe Class 1 system. Whatever your needs and requirements for a standpipe system, KORD can help!
Fire Standpipe System Classification
Standpipe systems are divided into three different categories, and they are based on who is utilizing the water outlet in the event of a fire:
1.
Class 1 Standpipe
This class can only be used by professional firefighters. Because the water pressure is very high, operation by an untrained person could be dangerous. This standpipe system has a 2.5” connection with no hose attached. (Firefighters must bring a hose to attach to the pipe.)
2.
Class 2 Standpipe
This class can be operated by trained (non-firefighter) personnel. You will often find Class 2 systems in the hallways of buildings. (They are placed where anyone can access them in case of an emergency.) This system has a 1.5” hose connection.
3.
Class 3 Standpipe
A combination of Class 1 and 2. This system features both 2.5” and 1.5” hose connections that can be used by both skilled building personnel, as well as professional firefighters.
