These connections will usually provide a 2-1/2" reducer/adapter to a 1-1/2" hose connection.

Provides 1 1/2 inch hose stations to supply water for use by trained personnel and a 2 1/2" hose connection to supply a larger volume of water for use by fire departments and those trained in heavy fire streams. These are typically found in cabinets with 100' of hose. Provides 1 1/2" hose stations to supply water for use by trained personnel or by the fire department during initial response. These connections must match the hose thread used by the fire department. NFPA 14 section 5.4.1.2 requires that the standpipe system in high-rise buildings to be automatic or semi-automatic. The fire department will carry hose packs to the floor level, typically a stairwell, where they will start their operations and connect to the standpipe system. What Type of Standpipe System is Required As discussed in my previous article, because a high-rise building is required to be provided with automatic sprinkler protection, a Class I standpipe system is permitted.

Standpipe systems are most common in large floor area buildings where most of the facility exists a fair distance from an outside entrance, and in multistory buildings to prevent long lengths of hose from running through stairwells and along the ground. Standpipe systems are designed to provide water for fire protection hose lines in strategically placed locations inside a building. Older buildings will usually have only standpipe systems while newer buildings will have a combination system, supplying the fire sprinkler system and the standpipe system. Standpipe systems are designed to provide a piped water system for building occupants and/or the fire department. Standpipe systems are pipe assemblies connecting a water supply to hose connections.
