Standpipe question.
Standpipe question.
(OP)
For example i only have 6 FHC in a fireprotection system, how much gpm i need to supply them? what i understood in NFPA 14, 500gpm at the most remote standpipe (2 FHC operational) plus additional 250gpm per additional standpipes. (the system is looped by the way) that will give me 1500gpm? i think im wrong. Please explain, thanks.

If the area per floor is >80k sq ft then you do 500 gpm @ the two remote standpipes and pick up the extra 250 gpm if needed for unsprinklered.
If you only have a horizontal standpipe on a single floor, then I believe the maximum is 750 gpm.
Again, the details are important.
