Flow velocity in fire mains
Flow velocity in fire mains
(OP)
My plumbing code lists 10 feet/sec as the maximum flow velocity in pipes for domestic water. I can't find a similar restriction in either the UFC or NFPA 24 for fire mains. Does anyone know if there is one?
Thanks,

Thanks. I guess I missed it in NFPA 24. A star for you.
