Become an NFPA member to see the exclusive videos and ask questions of our technical experts. This NFPA® Live session will cover the challenges of managing the high pressures needed in the standpipe and sprinkler systems in high-rise buildings.
We’ll discuss some of the various techniques related to the following: moving water to the upper floors of a high-rise building, helping prevent exposure to firefighters and system components from the dangerously high pressures in a standpipe system, accepted methods of water storage in high-rise buildings under NFPA 20, and how certain pressure regulating components work and how they are used.
