NFPA 37: Fire Connection Guidelines

The document discusses fire department connections and various types of valves used in fire sprinkler systems. It notes that fire department connections are not required for buildings in remote, inaccessible areas under 186m2 or with large deluge systems exceeding fire department pumping capacity. It also provides remarks on pressure relief valves, which should be installed when pump pressures exceed component ratings, and pressure reducing valves, which are used when normal water pressures may exceed 175 psi or with fire hose cabinets. References to NFPA standards are included.
