Fire hose cabinet only
(OP)
Hi folks,
Just want to confirm if i need a jockey pump when i only have to supply fire hose cabinets for a 4-storey office building. do i need jockey pump when i have automatic-wet or automatic-dry standpipes design? and what if i design a Semi-automatic dry type of standpipe? do i really need a jockey pump?
thanks,

RE: Fire hose cabinet only
I suspect you are asking if the standpipes must be manual or automatic for a 4 story and the answer is 'it depends'.

The system have a fire pump and the design of the standpipe is a dry type standpipe system (there is no water inside the pipe) it also have its own fire reserve. do i need to add jockey pump? or where do i need to add jockey pump if only standpipes will be the protection of the building? thanks for your help sir.

If a fire pump is already there it should have a jockey pump. Refer to NFPA 20 for how to provide a jockey pump.

the fire pump is intended to run if the fdas detects a fire. can this design work? the pipes will be totally empty no air or water inside. i think the designer design the system that way thats why it has no jockey pump.
