Standpipe systems are essential for delivering water to different floors of a building for firefighting purposes.
A wet standpipe system is always filled with water, ready for immediate use during a fire.
The FDC allows firefighters to connect their hoses to the standpipe system to access a reliable water supply.
Pressure-reducing valves control the water pressure in the system, preventing damage to hoses and equipment during firefighting.
A dry standpipe system is normally empty and must be filled with water from the fire department’s pumper truck before use
