Strainers and Fire Pumps
Strainers and Fire Pumps
(OP)
All,
In NFPA 20, editions 2007 and after, the requirement for strainers on the suction of vertical inline pumps was deleted. Does anyone know the reason for the deletiion? Was it a pump performance issue? Or was it cost driven by owners/contractors?
In other words, if I still call for a strainer, will it adversely affect the pump?
