Re: FDC pump in circle with hydrant on underground

Brad, The gate-check-gate thing is similar to an RPDA with OS&Y's on each side. *Ken Wagoner, SET *Parsley Consulting*** *350 West 9th Avenue, Suite 206 *Escondido, California 92025 *Phone 760-745-6181* Visit our website

Re: FDC pump in circle with hydrant on underground

Lol. I was thinking about the graphic Ken P posted yesterday, lower left with the gate, check, gate, and imagining the check being held open like it wasn't there, or only 85% there or whatever, and a Fire Dept. person wanting two checks in case one of them got held open by a rock.

Is there not a check valve or alarm check on the riser, upstream of the FDC connection to the riser? On Tue, Feb 7, 2017 at 11:57 AM, Allan Seidel wrote: > I'm looking at an FDC setup on the underground main to a building > (sprinklers and standpipe) where there is not a check on the underground

Re: FDC pump in circle with hydrant on underground

Is there a key operated gate upstream of the FDC they plan on closing once they get set up, to 'check' the circuit? I have heard some concearn by FP people about rocks holding check valves open and creating the situation you describe. Brad On Feb 7, 2017 1:57 PM, "Allan Seidel" wrote: > I'm look

FDC pump in circle with hydrant on underground

I'm looking at an FDC setup on the underground main to a building (sprinklers and standpipe) where there is not a check on the underground between the FDC and the nearest upstream fire hydrant. This was installed this way as directed by the Fire Marshall. To make this picture clear, water pumped fr
