NFPA Standard most often used by codes for installation of standpipe is NFPA_________?

• A. NFPA 13
• B. NFPA 14
• C. NFPA 101
• D. NFPA 70

Answer: (B)

Standpipe installations are governed by NFPA 14, Standpipe and Hose Systems. This standard specifically covers the design, installation, testing, and maintenance of standpipe systems—including Class I, II, and III configurations and their hose connections and fire department connections. NFPA 13 focuses on sprinkler systems, which is related but not the standpipe installation itself. NFPA 101 addresses life safety provisions, not the technical details of standpipes, and NFPA 70 is the electrical code. So, for standpipe installation requirements that codes reference, NFPA 14 is the standard most commonly used.
