It is common for high rise building standpipe systems to utilize both non-pressure reducing hose valves (on upper levels) and pressure reducing hose valves (on lower levels). Because these valves significantly differ, each valve type must be evaluated separately to ensure they will be capable of providing the required discharge flow and pressure. Learn how to:
- Perform basic demand standpipe calculations for non-pressure reducing hose valves.
- Identify where pressure reducing hose are required.
- Calculate the data needed in the selection of pressure reducing valve settings.
