A visual inspection of the standpipe system should be conducted monthly to ensure all components are in good condition and functioning properly.
Certificate holders are responsible for the inspection, testing, and maintenance of standpipe systems to ensure they function properly in an emergency.
If a standpipe system is out of service, it must be reported immediately, and corrective actions must be taken to ensure the system is restored to working order as soon as possible.
An abnormal pressure reading could indicate a problem with the system, so it should be reported and inspected by a professional.
Standpipe systems are installed in buildings to provide firefighters with a reliable source of water during emergencies.
