Home / Standards for Distribution Boxes and Fire Water Tanks
NFPA 22 serves as the cornerstone standard for water tank systems used in fire protection applications. This comprehensive guide establishes critical requirements for tank design, pressure specifications, and installation procedures that ensure reliable water supply during fire. In North America, municipal water systems are often robust, with distribution piping sized large enough to provide adequate water supplies to satisfy the demand for many water-based fire protection systems, including sprinkler and standpipe systems.
