STANDPIPE-PAC™ (Boston)


Boston FD TCM3-51725 was implemented in response to serious difficulties encountered when fire standpipes at construction and demolition sites were damaged, rendering the standpipes unsuitable for fire department use. The directive requires that all fire standpipes in vacant buildings, buildings undergoing demolition, and required permanent or temporary standpipes in buildings under construction be equipped with a system to pressurize the standpipe at all times, which then would sense the pressure loss if a portion of the standpipe was damaged or completely removed. Detailed requirements for the system are specified in the directive. STANDPIPE-PAC™ has been designed to aid in compliance with the requirements in Boston FD TCM3-51725.

IMPORTANT: Boston FD TCM3-51725 requires that an application to install an air pressurized alarm system be filed by a registered design professional, and a permit obtained by a licensed sprinkler contractor. A licensed electrician shall obtain all required electrical permits. Install STANDPIPE-PAC™ after application is made and accepted, and all permits received.

Did You Know?
  • Your dry-pipe or preaction fire sprinkler system can be infected! That’s right – microbes can be lurking inside your sprinkler pipes and causing damage.  Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) occurs when the right combination of moisture and microbial organisms produces rapid corrosion of steel piping from the inside out. MIC is not the only cause of steel pipe corrosion, but it is important to know about and mitigate this problem BEFORE it causes pitting, pinholes, and thinning of pipe walls. Take steps to prevent both rust and MIC by using NITROGEN-PAC.
