  1. What is the minimum hose thread standard used for NYC standpipe connections?

    Answer: National Standard Thread (NST) 2.5-inch

    NYC standpipe hose outlets use 2.5-inch National Standard Thread (NST) to ensure compatibility with FDNY hose couplings.

  2. During a fire incident, a Fire Guard's role regarding the standpipe system is to:

    Answer: Guide firefighters to hose cabinet locations and keep access clear

    Fire Guards direct FDNY personnel to standpipe hose cabinet locations and ensure pathways remain clear, but do not operate the system themselves during active firefighting.

  3. What does a closed gate valve on a standpipe riser indicate?

    Answer: The system is out of service and requires immediate notification to FDNY

    A closed gate valve on a standpipe riser takes that portion of the system out of service, which must be immediately reported to FDNY and building management.

  4. Standpipe hose in a Class II station should be which type for occupant use?

    Answer: 1.5-inch lined hose on a rack or reel

    Class II occupant hose stations use 1.5-inch lined hose stored on a rack or reel, sized and designed for use by trained building occupants.

  5. How should a Fire Guard respond if water is observed leaking from a standpipe hose cabinet?

    Answer: Immediately notify building management and the fire department of a possible system impairment

    Any water leak from a standpipe component suggests a possible system failure or valve problem that constitutes an impairment requiring immediate notification.

  6. What information must be posted on or near each standpipe hose cabinet per NYC regulations?

    Answer: Operating instructions and the floor number

    NYC regulations require operating instructions and floor identification to be posted at each hose station so occupants can quickly locate and use the equipment.
