3.3.81* Vertical Fire Protection Zone.

The portion of a vertical fire protection system of standpipes with hose valves, sprinkler systems with
sprinkler system connections, or combination standpipe sprinkler systems that are supplied by a fire
pump(s) or a water storage tank(s) where the static pressure difference between levels is only a function
of the elevation difference. .

The new definition starts to encompass what is meant by a zone across the model codes and standards. This PC
deletes the text, 'where the static pressure difference between levels is only a function of the elevation difference."
as it could change what is interpreted as a zone.
It may be helpful to users to extract from NFPA 14, Figures A.7.1 (a)-(d) to illustrate the definition of a zone.

Similarly as stated in committee input #74, as the pump specific test are conducted by the pump manufacturer (that
is outsourced for pump skid manufacturer), the additional language would allow the pump skid manufacturer to
present the pump test data to purchaser that is created by original pump manufacturer and not specifically by the

Public Comment No. 4-NFPA 20-2020 [ New Section after 4.6.2.1 ]
4.6.2.1.1 Where mechanical seals are used as fire pump shaft seals, water supplied to the pump
shall be from one of the following:
(1) A public service main
(2) Clean water stored in a closed top tank
(3) Other water supplies having a water quality that meets the pump manufacturer’s specifications.
A.4.6.2.1.1 Fire pumps with mechanical seals should be restricted to those applications where only clean
water is pumped. Debris and particles may adversely affect the performance of mechanical seals and cause
the seal to fail its intended function. Water supplies should not be from a source that allows for particles,
such as sand and debris, to enter the water such as open tanks and open bodies of water, e.g., retention
ponds, lakes or rivers. Also, the pump should operate with positive pressure conditions at the pump inlet at
all times.

Some fire pumps are being fitted with mechanical seals to prevent leakage from the pump shaft. The performance
of these mechanical seals can be adversely impacted by debris, sand and other particles in the water supply. Only
clean sources of water shall be used in applications where mechanical seals are utilized in fire pumps.

4.20.6 Discharge Piping.

4.20.6.1
Except as permitted in 4.20.6.2, the relief valve discharge pipe shall be of a size not less than that given in
Section 4.28.
4.20.6. 1.1 If the pipe employs more than one elbow, the next larger pipe size shall be used.
4.20.6. 2
The discharge pipe shall be permitted to be sized hydraulically to discharge sufficient water to prevent the
pump discharge pressure, adjusted for elevation, from exceeding the pressure rating of the system
components.
4.20.6.2.1
If the pipe employs more than one elbow, the next larger pipe size shall be used.
4.20.6.3
Relief valve discharge piping returning water back to the supply source, such as an aboveground storage
tank, shall be run independently and not be combined with the discharge from other relief valves.
4.20.6.4
Relief valve discharge piping from a single fire pump returning water back to the supply source shall be
permitted to be combined with fire pump test piping downstream of any control valve in a manner that
complies with 4.20.6 , 4.22.2 , and 4.22.3 .
4.20.6.5
The discharge piping from multiple relief valves shall not be combined with fire pump test piping.
4.20.6.6
Isolation of the test header piping from the pressure relief valve discharge shall be possible.

Public input number 28 was resolved. The technical reason for rejecting this public input was “Language is existing
and doesn’t need to be relocated. The existing text is adequate.” While I agree the language is existing and is
adequate, its location is not correct. Clearly, this language needs to be relocated. If a designer provides a hydraulic
calculation, why would the designer need to increase the pipe size because of more than one elbow? Clkearly, that
requirement is for following the table only.

will not prevent the system from functioning as intended to work with its full capacity with manual operation .

Is stated in committee input #65:
Similarly as with traditional fire pumps, with PD water mist pumping units, the redundancy relies on manual
operation of the pumps in case the pressure sensors or primary control board fails.
Additionally the requirement for ensuring that the failure do not prevent manual operation is applicable for any

variable speed pressure limiting control
,
and
that provide

.
8.5.7.2.2. System is designed and listed to have a redundant pump when one primary pump is used for pressure
maintenance duty with variable speed pressure limiting control and provides a supervisory signal wherever pressure
maintenance is required more than two times in one hour.
8.5.7.2.3 System is designed to use dedicated pressure maintenance pump that is not required for primary fire pump
service and provides a supervisory signal whenever pressure maintenance is required more than two mes in one
hour.

As in committee input #71:
In case a redundant motor or dedicated pressure maintenance pump is allowed, the failure of the pump that is
used for pressure maintenance duty, would not prevent system from starting operation automatically, neither would
it not reduce total capacity. Thus in case the pressure maintenance duty alternation between two or more pumps
was the reason to minimize the risk of failure of main pump, then the use of redundant pump shall meet the
intended risk mitigation.

As stated in committee input #72:
With the following large system example below, there is a reason, why the flow can be increased greatly from the
current 50% limitation or the limit could be totally dismissed when the first pressure level is used with a timer to
start pump unit operation and the pumping unit reaction times are tested and verified on site.
Alternative proposal:
8.5.7.3 When in the pressure maintenance mode, water mist positive displacement pumping units used for
pressure maintenance, shall not prevent start of automatic activation/operation within 60 seconds after the smallest
system nozzle is discharged when the standby pressure is applied at the smallest nozzle.

9.3. 5 4.1
For fire pump installations using the arrangement in 9.2.2(1), 9.2.2(2), 9.2.2(3), or 9.2.2(5) for the alternate
source of power, no more than one disconnecting means and associated overcurrent protection device
shall be installed in the power supply to the fire pump controller in accordance with 9.2.3.1 through
9.2.3.4.1.

Relocate First Revision No. 18 to a new 9.3.4.1. Paragraph 9.3.5 already exists in the 2019 Edition. As new 9.3.4.1
it more logically follows existing 9.3.4 in the 2019 edition.
The NEMA Public Comment to revised FR 29 adds the following to 9.2.3.4.1:
9.2.3.4.1(7) An instantaneous trip circuit breaker shall be permitted.
Therefore, any reference to 9.2.3.4.1 allows the use of an instantaneous-trip circuit breaker. FR 96 is to add this
requirement to 10.8.2.1.3.2 which is under Arrangement I transfer switches (Listed Combination Fire Pump
Controller and Power Transfer Switch). Chapter 9 is the more appropriate location for this requirement, since
Chapter 9 covers requirements for the alternate source.
FR 18 allows the use of a single disconnecting means and overcurrent protection in the alternate source, so by
expanding the reference to include 9.2.3.4.1, FR 96 can be deleted.

This comment proposes improved clarity by placing two separate requirements for monitoring all ungrounded lines
in one paragraph location, without changing the intent of the requirement. Also, this section is modified to cohere
with the UL 1008 requirement that all transfer switches provide monitoring of all ungrounded sources.

the following comment:
The means of data collection as proposed is very limiting and does not need to be mandated by the standard.
Annex C provides sufficient guidance on means of data collection regarding fire pump performance.
PI No. 24 should have been resolved in the same way.

11.4.1.3.1*
Fuel supply tank(s) shall have a capacity at least equal to 1 gal per hp (5.07 L per kW) be sized for a
minimum of 8 hours of engine run time based on the fuel supply rate requirements of the engine , plus
5 percent volume for expansion and 5 percent volume for sump.

This change would align the fuel tank sizing requirements of NFPA 20 with the requirements of FM Global Property
Loss Prevention Data Sheet 3-7 section 2.8.4.6. It will allow for fuel tanks sized more reasonably based on the
improved fuel efficiency of some newer engines.
This also would relate to the comment on First Revision No. 41-NFPA 20-2019 [ Section No. 11.6.4.1 ] by
committee member Jason Williams which reads " Agree with explanation - While I agree with the TC statement,
supplying a larger than needed fuel tank is an issue. Stale fuel has been a problem that NFPA 25 has been
addressing. Real world data is showing fuel quality to be a concern. Language needs to be submitted to
acknowledge this concern and direction provided to keep fuel tank size reasonable. Modern fuel efficient engines
will cause this issue to grow".
Picking two random example of Clarke engines:

1. a DP6H-UFAA50 rated 265HP @ 1760RPM would require a fuel tank to be sized for at least 292 gal. On the
data sheet for this engine the fuel consumption rate is 14 gal/hr. Therefore with a full fuel tank the supply would be
good for 20.8 hours.
2. a JU4H-UF42 rated 106HP @ 2600RPM would require a fuel tank to be sized for at least 117 gal. On the data
sheet for this engine the fuel consumption rate is 3.7 gal/hr. Therefore with a full fuel tank the supply would be
good for 31.6 hours.

11.4.4.2 Aboveground metallic/nonmetallic composite piping systems shall be listed in accordance

with UL 1369 Aboveground Piping for Flammable and Combustible Liquids, and installed in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Approved double wall pipe is permitted in 11.4.4.6, Fuel Line Protection. The addition of listed double wall piping
systems in 11.4.4.2 will provide specific requirements and listing for specialty piping products manufactured
specifically for double containment. . Double wall piping systems provides enhanced protection against damage,
and prevent leakage of fuel, which is an important consideration where exposed piping occurs in fire pump rooms.
UL 1369 is a new document, first issued in 2018, ad is the appropriate standard for double wall fuel supply piping
as stated in the document:
The scope of UL 1369 states:
1 Scope
1.1 These requirements cover primary, secondary, and coaxial types of aboveground pipes intended for transfer
and containment of specific flammable and combustible liquids and fuels or fuel components (and vapors thereof)
identified in this Standard, at their manufacturing, processing and distribution facilities, commercial (public) or fleet
(private) motor vehicle fueling stations or similar fuel dispensing applications, and piping systems for fuel supply of
generators, burners or similar equipment.
UL 1369 also states:
1.4 Products covered by this Standard are intended to be installed and used in accordance with the applicable
Codes and Regulations as determined by the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), such as, but not limited to: (In
the United States):
a) Standard for the Installation of Stationary Pumps for Fire Protection, NFPA 20;
b) Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code, NFPA 30;
c) Code for Motor Fuel Dispensing Facilities and Garages, NFPA 30A;
d) Standard for the Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment, NFPA 31;
e) Standard for the Installation and Use of Stationary Combustion Engines and Gas Turbines, NFPA 37;
f) Standard for Aircraft Fuel Servicing, NFPA 407;
g) Uniform Fire Code, NFPA 1;
h) International Fire Code published by the International Fire Council; and/or
i) Other applicable federal and state regulations for piping.
UL 1369 will be included in the 2021 edition of NFPA 30 in paragraph 27.4.7.2 for all flammable liquids piping.
Metallic/nonmetallic composite piping is manufactured by Omega Flex, and other manufacturers. The Omega Flex
product is called DoubleTrac and is intended for critical flammable liquids piping where leakage to the environment
cannot be tolerated. The fittings include a threaded opening to the space between the inner stainless steel
corrugated tubing and the outer non-metallic jacket to allow monitoring to detect contained leakage from the
primary carrier piping.
DoubleTrac is used in many flammable liquids applications, including fuel lines for diesel generators serving
various buildings, including hospitals, gasoline and diesel fuel transfer lines in service stations, and marina fueling
stations.
DoubleTrac is flexible, and is available in lengths up to 1000 ft. All pump room fuel piping systems using
DoubleTrac to will only have fittings at each termination. By eliminating intermediate fittings the probability of
leakage is significantly reduced compared to piping systems field assembled from multiple individual lengths of
pipe or tubing.
The term “metallic/nonmetallic composite piping systems” is used because it will be included in the 2021 edition of
NFPA 30, Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code, which will be available later this year.

11.4.5.4
The grade of fuel oil shall be indicated on the fuel tank by letters that are a minimum of 6 in 2 in .
(152 mm 50 mm ) in height and in contrasting color to the tank.

Public input number 37 was resolved by the technical committee. Since the 2003 edition, the current language of
the standard is: “The grade of fuel oil shall be indicated on the fuel tank by letters that are a minimum of 6-in. in
height and in contrasting color to the tank.” This language has been the same in all editions of the standard since it
was adopted in 2003. The public input was to reduce the letter minimum size required to 2 in.. The Statement of
Problem and Substantiation for Public Input was “6-in. letters are too large in real-world situations. Two-in. letters
are large enough to be seen in a typical fire pump room. The technical reason for rejecting this public input was:
“There was no technical justification provided to decrease the size of the lettering on diesel fuel tank.”
So, here is a little history. For the 2003 edition of the standard, Proposal 20-146 added this language: “8-4.7.2
Grade of fuel oil shall be indicated on the fuel tank by a minimum of 6 inch letters in contrasting color to tank.” The
proposal passed the ballot 28-0. No technical substation was provided with regard to the size of letters.
Time for a reality check. A 6-in. high letter is required for EXIT signs. Most other fire safety signs require 2-in.-high
letters. A quick search on the internet shows many industry sign sizing charts with the following guideline: “One
inch per 10 feet away from the sign to be easily readable.” Based on this guideline, an EXIT sign can be read at 60
ft. Using the same guideline, based on the current language in NFPA 20, the signage for the type of fuel required
for a fire pump diesel fuel tank can be read at 60 ft. What is more important: an EXIT or type of fuel sign? How
many fire pump rooms are larger than 20-ft wide or long? Do we really need to see the fuel type sign from far
away? Based on my years of experience, I have never seen a manufacturer of a Listed fire pump fuel tank provide
a sign complying with current language of the standard.
The technical committee needs to address this issue as most new installations are not complying.

11.6.4.1
The fuel storage tanks shall be designed and installed per 11.4.1.3 so that they can be kept as full as
practical at all times but never below 66 percent (two-thirds) of tank capacity.
11.6.4.1.1
Where the fuel tank installed is larger than the capacity required in 11.4.1.3.1, the fuel shall be maintained
at a level equal to the requirements of 11.4.1.3.1 or 66 percent (two-thirds) of tank capacity, whichever is
lesser.

Over-sized tanks would require a substantial amount of fuel to be stored indoors and would cause an issue for fire
protection as fuel tanks up to 1320 gal are excluded from the scope of NFPA 37. Tanks should only be required to
maintain a level of fuel that is necessary to run the diesel pump for the required duration based on the hazard.

A Pulse Width Modulation Inverter (PWM) is one type of electronic adjustable speed drive that controls the
rotational speed of an ac electric motor by controlling the frequency and voltage of the electrical power
supplied to the motor. A PWM inverter is commonly used in a variable speed fire pump controller.

This new annex material expands on the definition of "Adjustable Speed Drive" as it applies to fire pump
controllers. The definition was added as a First Revision. Some of the material was taken from the Informational
Note which accompanies the definition in the NEC.
