The "Sprinkler and Standpipe Combination System Sign" is a crucial identifier within buildings equipped with fire suppression systems utilizing both sprinklers and standpipes. This sign plays a pivotal role in clearly indicating the presence and function of these essential fire safety mechanisms. By prominently displaying this sign, it aids firefighters and emergency responders in swiftly identifying the location of the sprinkler and standpipe combination system during fire emergencies. Its presence ensures rapid access to water sources for firefighting operations, facilitating the efficient suppression of flames and minimization of property damage. Additionally, the visibility of this sign enhances awareness among building occupants and emergency personnel, fostering coordinated efforts in fire response and reinforcing overall safety measures within the building. Thus, the "Sprinkler and Standpipe Combination System Sign" is instrumental in optimizing fire safety protocols and protecting lives and property from the devastating effects of fire incidents.

A Fire Department Combination Standpipe and Sprinkler Sign is an important component of a fire suppression system in a building. The sign is typically located near a combination standpipe and sprinkler system, which is a type of fire suppression system that combines both a standpipe and a sprinkler system to provide a comprehensive fire protection solution.

The purpose of the Fire Department Combination Standpipe and Sprinkler Sign is to clearly identify the location of the combination standpipe and sprinkler system and provide important information such as the type of fire suppression system, the capacity of the water supply, and the date of the last inspection. This information helps responding firefighters quickly access and control the building's fire suppression system, which can help to minimize the spread of fire and prevent damage to the building and its occupants.

A Fire Department Combination Standpipe and Sprinkler Sign should be easily visible, with clear and concise information. The sign should be made of durable materials, such as metal or plastic, and be resistant to the elements. In addition, the sign should be mounted at a height that is easily accessible to firefighters, typically between 4 and 6 feet from the ground.

It is important for building owners and managers to regularly inspect and maintain the Fire Department Combination Standpipe and Sprinkler Sign to ensure it is easily visible and the information on it is accurate. This includes checking that the sign is securely mounted, the information is up to date, and the sign is free from damage or graffiti. By properly maintaining the Fire Department Combination Standpipe and Sprinkler Sign, building owners and managers can help ensure a quick and effective response from firefighters in case of an emergency, and help to ensure the safety of the building and its occupants.

Our standpipe signs – Design to inform 1st responded about the standpipe system in the building and their locations. A Standpipe system is a series of pipes which connect a water supply to hose connections, basically an extension of the fire hydrant system. They are designed to provide a pre-piped water system for building occupants or the fire department.

A standpipe system is An arrangement of piping, valves hose connections and other equipment installed in a building or structure, with the hose connections located in such a manner that water can be discharged in streams through attached hose and nozzles, for the purposes of extinguishing a fire, thereby protecting a building or structure and its contents in addition to protecting the occupants. This is accomplished by means of connections to water supply systems or by means of pump tanks and other equipment necessary to provide an adequate supply of water to the hose connections.”

It is, essentially, a way of delivering water from one area of the structure or facility to another so that we can fight the fire while at the same time shortening the length of the supply and attack lines. Standpipes can be an intricate or simple system, but the result is the same: water delivery. These systems can be vertical (which is the common type) or they can be horizontal.   

Below are four types of standpipes that you will find in use:

• Wet system. Here, water is in the pipes at all times and is supplied by a water source. The pressure in the system is constantly maintained.
• Automatic dry standpipe. Here, there is always air stored inside the standpipe at a constant pressure. When a hose valve is opened, the air escapes allowing the water to enter into the standpipe system.
• Semi-automatic dry standpipe. In this system, air is stored inside the pipes, which can be pressurized or not be pressurized. Once an actuation device such as a manual pull station or an electrical switch is activated, water then enters the system.
• Manual dry standpipe. This type of system has only pipes feeding the system with no air or water in them. A fire apparatus must be used to supply the water through the standpipe.
