Standpipe testing procedures

Standpipes are part of the fire suppression system in buildings. Standpipes, generally located in the stairwells of buildings, allow the fire department to connect their hose on a certain floor to minimize the need for large amounts of hose. This procedure establishes the proper steps for completing standpipe testing for the University of Rochester River Campus, Medical Center, Eastman Campus, Memorial Art Gallery Campus and Off-Site locations.
