Change the cross reference in 11.2.2.6 to read as follows: 11.2.2.6 Where right-angle gear drives (see 11.2.3.27.5.1.8) are used between the vertical turbine pump and its driver, the horsepower requirement of the pump shall be increased to allow for power loss in the gear drive. 6. Change th

Change the cross reference in A.4.20.2.1 to read as follows: A.4.20.2.1 Where pumps are installed in series and a
10、re located in the same pump room, the discharge pressure from the second (or third) pump is typically at a pressure that is too high for the outlets on a fire sprinkler or standpipe system on the lower floors of the building. Rather than use this high discharge pressure with pressure reducing valves
11、, it is a common, and accepted practice, to take the fire protection supply from the discharge of the preceding pump through a connection between that pump and subsequent pump(s) as shown in Figure A.4.20.2.121.1.2(a) and Figure A.4.21.1.2(b). 11. Change the cross reference in A.4.21.1.2(2) to read
12、as follows: A.4.21.1.2(2) For horizontal split-case fire pumps, there should be a distance of not less than 10 diameters of suction pipe for side connection (not recommended) to the fire pump suction flange.
