Good advice; and often fire departments look for hose valves on intermediate landings. In that case one would presume you start between the ground floor and the second floor...so it becomes a moot point.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you can confirm the sender and know the content is safe. I would direct that inquiry to the responding Fire Department. This is a subjective issue and depending on the configuration of stairs and access passageways, it may be a long stretch from the pumper into the core of the building. In such cases, that access level valve is of great value.

I have stairwell that will have a standpipe. But on the first floor it only exit to the exterior. Would a Hose valve be required on level 1? Would they use an interior standpipe connection to fight a fire on the exterior of the building on the ground level? Jerry Van Kolken Millennium Fire Protection Corp. 2950 San Luis Rey Rd.
