Sprinkler Hydraulic Plate (Sign Placard) information
Sprinkler Hydraulic Plate (Sign Placard) information
(OP)
Hello Forum,
re: Sprinkler Hydraulic Plate (Sign Placard) information
I have seen a lot of confusion regarding the information on a fire sprinkler hydraulic plate. The address placed in the "location" slot instead of the remote area location, total number of sprinklers instead of number of sprinklers calculated...etc. For the information regarding flow and pressure at the "base of the riser", I generally see the system at the source instead of at the base of the riser which is a real point of confusion and the hose may or may not be added.
My question is also about the last item. When filling in the information about the "Residual pressure at the base of the riser", should I be considering water pressure before or after the fire pump? Most of these questions can be answered my asking who actually uses the hydraulic plate and what do they do with that information.
Thanks, Joe Cianfarra

Yes you are correct with your linked reference to the post that talks about those other issues I initially referenced. Are you implying that I should include my query there as well for them to see since those members obviously were interested in this topic?
Thanks,
