Which standard addresses private fire protection water tanks?

• A. NFPA 13
• B. NFPA 22
• C. NFPA 101
• D. NFPA 20

Answer: (B)

Private fire protection water tanks are addressed by NFPA 22. This standard specifically covers storage tanks that provide water for private fire protection systems, including how they should be designed, constructed, located, maintained, and tested to ensure reliable water supply and adequate pressure when needed. It addresses tank capacity, venting, fill and drainage, protection from corrosion, inspection and hydrostatic testing, and labeling. Other standards govern different parts of the system: NFPA 13 covers the installation of sprinkler systems and their water supply piping, NFPA 20 covers installing fire pumps, and NFPA 101 covers life safety requirements.
