Whether you’re designing a new project or ensuring an existing standpipe system is operationally ready, NFPA® 14, Standard for the Installation of Standpipe and Hose Systems, is an essential resource for proper system design and installation.

This standard provides comprehensive guidance on system components, hardware, plans and calculations, water supply testing, buildings under construction, and system acceptance testing. It serves as a critical reference for designers, installers, insurance professionals, and authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs) — or anyone involved in the safety and performance of standpipe and hose systems.

This standard covers the design, installation, operation, testing, and maintenance of low-, medium-, and high-expansion foam systems for fire protection. Criteria apply to fixed, semi-fixed, or portable systems for interior and exterior hazards

NFPA 20 helps protect life and property by establishing requirements for selecting and installing fire pumps, ensuring systems operate as intended and provide an adequate, reliable water supply during a fire emergency.

NFPA 24, Standard for the Installation of Private Fire Service Mains and Their Appurtenances, provides guidance to fire protection system designers, authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs), and other stakeholders to ensure an adequate and reliable water supply for fire protection systems and fire service operations.

This standard establishes the minimum requirements for installing private fire service mains that supply sprinkler systems, water spray systems, foam systems, and private hydrants.

NFPA 101 is widely used by professionals responsible for building safety, design, and compliance across many industries. It helps guide decisions on building design, occupant protection, emergency planning, and ongoing facility safety.

It is commonly used by fire protection engineers, architects, inspectors and authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs), building owners and facility managers, code officials, and safety professionals.

NFPA 13R is a residential sprinkler design standard intended for low-rise residential occupancies. Its purpose is to provide sprinkler systems that help control residential fires and enhance protection against injury and loss of life in multi-family dwellings.

This standard establishes the minimum requirements for the design, installation, and maintenance of foam-water sprinkler and spray systems that utilize low-expansion foam.

NFPA 13D is a residential sprinkler design standard for one- and two-family dwellings and manufactured homes. Its intent is to provide a cost-effective sprinkler system while maintaining a high level of life safety.

NFPA 12, Standard on Carbon Dioxide Extinguishing Systems, provides comprehensive guidance on the use of CO₂ systems for industrial and marine fire protection. It covers a wide range of applications, including total flooding systems, local application systems, hand hose line systems, standpipe systems, and mobile CO₂ supplies.

Aligned with the latest code references in NFPA 4, Standard for Integrated Fire Protection and Life Safety System Testing, this edition outlines the most current, consensus-based requirements for the design, installation, and maintenance of both high-pressure and low-pressure CO₂ extinguishing systems. It serves as an essential resource for fire protection engineers, system designers, installers, facility managers, and inspectors who ensure reliable fire suppression performance.

This standard establishes requirements for the design, installation, and acceptance testing of fixed water spray systems to ensure effective fire control, extinguishment, prevention, and exposure protection. It also outlines guidelines for the periodic testing and maintenance of ultra high-speed water spray fixed systems.
