NFPA cpde question
(OP)
What does the NFPA say about how many "users" you can have between post indicators on a private line? If it matters, the line is 10", CL200. And what do they define as users? Just hydrants? Are buildings considers users too? For some reason the number 5 comes to mind, but I'm unsure.
Thanks
Thanks

The intent is to limit the scope of an impairment should there be a break in the underground fire water system. The "users" you are referring to are the connections to the underground fire water system...typically fire hydrants and/or sprinkler systems. A building is not a "user", but each sprinkler system in the building is. Basically, what the insurance companies desire is that there be a sectional control valve after every 5 connections to the underground main.
I hope this helps.
