RE: Difference bettwen standpipe and hydrant

A hydrant is connected to either a public or private water supply and is used to supply water to mobile pumping apparatus (fire engine or engine company) or for testing the water supply. It is located outside of a building. Hydrants are generally governed by NFPA 24.

A standpipe is a combination of horizontal or vertical pipes and valves installed inside of a building to facilitate the connection of fire fighting hoses for manual firefighting efforts. Standpipe systems are regulated by NFPA 14.
