Which NFPA standard number corresponds to Standpipe and Hose Systems?

• A. NFPA 13
• B. NFPA 20
• C. NFPA 14
• D. NFPA 101

Answer: (C)

Standpipe and Hose Systems are governed by NFPA 14. This standard specifies how standpipes should be designed, installed, tested, and maintained, including the types of standpipes (Class I, II, III), where hose outlets should be located, expected water supply pressures and flow, valve and alarm requirements, and inspection procedures. It’s different from NFPA 13, which covers automatic sprinkler systems; NFPA 20, which covers fire pumps; and NFPA 101, which is the Life Safety Code. So NFPA 14 is the standard that applies to standpipe and hose systems.
