(575-6234). - The test hydrant is the hydrant that the static and residual are taken at. There must be at least a 10% drop in the static pressure after opening the flow hydrant. - From an accuracy standpoint it is preferable to use the 2'/2" outlet rather than the steamer outlet. - To determine gpm discharge from a hydrant use the formula: 29.7xDzn.9 FIRE HYDRANT FLOW TEST APPLICATION REQUESTED BY: Amy Galvez c/o Simmons and White ADDRESS: 2581 Metrocentre Blvd. West, Ste. 3 West Palm Bach FL 33407 PHONE NUMBER: 561-478-7848 FAX NUMBER: 561-478-3738 EMAIL: amy@simmonsandwhite.com PROJECT ADDRESS: 691 and 19626 N.

The Florida Fire Prevention Code (FFPC) now requires that a newly constructed or substantially improved buildings, including one and two-family homes, must be built within the parameters of the fire flow capability provided to that property. These flows and durations are important to ensure that there is a sufficient water supply to extinguish a fire in the building and to keep it from spreading to nearby buildings. The Code requires a minimum of 1,000 gallons per minute (GPM) fire flow for duration of two hours for homes having a fire flow area of 5,000 square feet or less. Fire flows commercial construction and homes with a fire flow area exceeding 5,000 square feet shall not be less than that specified in the Florida Fire Prevention Code, NFPA 1, Chapter 18, Table 18.4.5.1.2. This table calculates the needed fire flow (GPM) based on the fire flow area and construction type of the building. If the size of the proposed building or home design exceeds the water system capabilities, the Florida Fire Prevention Code provides the owner with a the means for meeting and/or reducing the fire flow requirements. These options are listed below and may be incorporated in the building design either individually, or in combination with others. DESIGN OPTIONS • A 50% reduction in the required fire flow can be attained with the installation of a fire sprinkler system. Installation requirements can be found in the Florida Fire Prevention Code 2010, NFPA 13D or the Florida Building Code 2010 Residential Chapter 29, Section P2904. The reduction shall not reduce the required fire flow to less than 500 gallons per minute (GPM). • A 25% reduction in the required fire flow can be attained for homes with a fire area of 5,000 square feet or less when separated from other buildings by a minimum of 30 -feet. • Based on Table 18.4.5.1.2 in NFPA 1, reductions in the required fire flow can be attained using different construction types and/or fire resistive materials. • Adding a fire hydrant and/or increasing the size of the water main distribution system to provide for a greater gallon per minute (GPM) flow. • The Fire -Rescue Department will accept any other recognized fire flow calculation method as an equivalency to the FFPC, i.e. Insurance Services Office (ISO) Method, Iowa State University (ISU) Method, Illinois Institute of Technology Research Institute Method.
