NFPA 14 requires standpipes to be full flow tested for the acceptance testing.
Automatic standpipes are fairly straightforward to test, but how have you seen this applied for manual standpipes in mid-rise buildings? Is this a worthwhile test that will uncover design/installation flaws? Also, is there any compromised method to meet this requirement? Posted anonymously for discussion.
