Ductile Iron Pipework in Fire Pumphouse - Approved by NFPA?
Ductile Iron Pipework in Fire Pumphouse - Approved by NFPA?
(OP)
Hi,
I don't seem to be able to find a definitive answer in the NFPA codes about whether Ductile Iron is acceptable as a pipework material within the fire pumphouse. There is lots of mention in NFPA 24 of ductile iron for underground pipework, but not for above ground pipework.
Can anyone help me?
Many thanks,
Tom Smith

Look in NFPA 13 if the pump house is sprinklered and NFPA 20 for fire pumps.
A quick word search of both does not seem to indicate that ductile is allowed above ground.
Why are you wanting to use it above ground?
