Understanding Functional Performance of Fire Pump Installations 

Fire pumps serve as critical aspects of many water-based fire protection systems providing the necessary flow and pressure for effective system operation.  A fire pump installation involves many components and features.  This presentation highlights key provisions of NFPA 20, Standard on the Installation of Stationary Pumps for Fire Protection and NFPA 25, Standard for the Inspection, Testing and Maintenance of Water-Based Fire Protection Systems that are essential for assuring proper long-term fire pump performance.
