Hose demand is usually not art of the equation with good city hydrant supply 
available.

If you omit hose than it all works.

Subject: RE: Tank Capacity



Thanks everyone.  I just thought that it was always an acceptable practice.



The situation is I have a new owner of a warehouse with an existing ground tank 
and pump house.  We will be replacing the pump.  The tank is only 3000 gallons 
short of the largest system demand plus the outside hose times the duration 
requirement.  The city supply to the tank will be more than able to make up the 
difference.  The underwriter is saying that the “reliable automatic refill” 
cannot be considered.



I was wanting to show proof that it was acceptable prior to the 2013 edition.

It was in one edition of 13R wayback when. I don't think it had ever been 
"allowed" by 22 until recently but it only makes sense. Now define reliable 
refill rate for this application emphasizing reliable.

Requirements for break tanks were added NFPA 20 (2007), according to page 20-2.

The earliest reference I can find is NFPA 25 2007 in section 5.30, it has moved 
around since, but as others have pointed out, it's defined in there as a break 
tank.

NFPA 22 (2013 Edition) excerpt-

4.1.4 A tank shall be sized so that the stored supply plus reliable automatic 
refill shall be sufficient to meet the demand placed upon it for the design 
duration.

I have researched earlier editions but I have not been able to find where the 
reliable automatic refill has been previously allowed; however, I recall this 
being the case.  Am I overlooking something?

Thanks,
