Class 1 systems are designed for which group?

• A. Fire Department
• B. Occupants
• C. Maintenance staff
• D. Visitors

Answer: (A)

Standpipe classifications focus on who operates the system and what equipment is expected to be used. Class I standspipes are built for fire department use, with large-diameter outlets designed for connection to attack hoses carried by firefighters and to deliver high flow from the building’s water supply. Because they're intended for trained firefighters and their equipment, occupants, visitors, or standard maintenance personnel don’t rely on these outlets during a fire. The fire department connects their hoses, pumps water, and performs suppression actions using this system.
