FIRE HOSE CABINET REQUIREMENT IN IBC, IFC, NFPA?
FIRE HOSE CABINET REQUIREMENT IN IBC, IFC, NFPA?
(OP)
I have been searching for the requirement of Fire hose cabinet in IBC & NFPA for so long. I have gone through many threads to get the idea but still there is lot of confusion. I have done some projects wherein I have designed a sprinkler system for buildings less than 9.1m heights and I have not provided any Fire hose cabinet in them as per IBC 905.3.1. But now I have a project which is a site adaptation. The Building is a mosque and was designed by some other consultant. I am wondering why 2 hose valves are provided in this mosque. As per code, this is a light hazard building and the maximum height is 8.8m. I am redesigning it and i am looking if the Fire hose Valves (Not Fire Hose Cabinet) are required by the code.
PLEASE SUGGEST ME WITH EXACT CODE REQUIREMENTS. I HAVE ALSO MADE HYDRAULIC CALCULATIONS. I AM GETTING 200GPM WITH 50PSI DEMAND PRESSURE WITHOUT ANY HOSE. IF IN CASE I PROVIDE A HOSE, DO I HAVE TO REVISE THE CALCULATION TO GET MINIMUM 65PSI AT THE HOSE.
YOUR QUICK RESPONSE IS MUCH APPRECIATED.

1)I have not discussed with local Authority. I want to find the exact code requirement to discuss this matter with them.
2)The local Authority adopts International Building Code.
3)There is not Stage in this building.

Normaly because of problem withe fire truck access to some exterior portions of the building
Would go back to consultant and ask why he required them
