SECTION 508FIRE PROTECTION WATER SUPPLIES

508.1 General. Water supplies for manual fire suppression andfire hydrants shall be in accordance with Sections 501 and 508.

508.1.1 Required water supply. An approved water supplycapable of supplying the required fire flow for fire protec-tion shall be provided to premises upon which facilities,buildings or portions of buildings are hereafter constructedor moved into or within the jurisdiction.

508.1.1.1 When a water supply for fire protection is notavailable from the City of Phoenix, or if the flow rate,pressure, or duration of the water supply available fromthe city does not meet the minimum requirements of thiscode, the owner shall be responsible for installing all ofthe infrastructure required to meet the fire flow, pressure,and duration requirements of this code.

508.1.2 Design information required. Plans, hydrauliccalculations, and specifications shall be submitted to the firecode official for review and approval prior to installation ofthe on-site water supply system. Underground fire main sys-

tems shall be installed in accordance with NFPA 24, PrivateFire Service Mains and Their Appurtenances. Water tankinstallations shall be in accordance with NFPA 22, WaterTanks for Private Fire Protection.

Exception: Public water distribution mains approved bythe City of Phoenix Water Services Department.

508.1.3 Hydraulic calculations. Calculations shall be sub-mitted to verify the private fire service main(s) will providethe minimum required fire flow, as determined by Section508.2, to the hydraulically most demanding on-site hy-drants with the water supply that is available to the system.

508.1.3.1 System flow requirement. The minimum re-quired fire flow rate shall be calculated using 1000 gpmincrements starting at the hydraulically most demandinghydrant. An additional 1000 gpm, or remainder of the re-quired fire flow, as determined by Section 508.2 shall beadded at each successive hydrant until the minimum re-quired fire flow has been accounted for.

508.1.3.2 System pressure requirement. A minimum20 psi residual pressure shall be maintained in thesystem.

All pressure losses in the system including frictionloss through pipe and fittings and changes in elevationshall be accounted for from the hydraulically most de-manding hydrant back to the location of the water flowtest that was used to determine the water supply availableto supply the new private hydrants and mains.

508.1.3.3 Method for determining friction loss. Fric-tion loss through pipe and fittings shall be determined us-ing the Hazen-Williams formula or other approvedhydraulic formula. The Hazen-Williams formula is asfollows:

P = 4.52 x Q1.85

C1.85 x D4.87

Where:

P = friction loss in psig per foot of pipe

Q = flow in gpm

C = Hazen-Williams co-effiecient of roughness,friction loss coefficient, pipe roughness coefficient,

D = actual internal diameter of the pipe in inches

508.1.3.4 Backflow prevention assembly. The pres-sure loss through any backflow prevention assem-bly installed on the system shall be included in thehydraulic calculations. The model and size of thebackflow prevention assembly shall be noted on theplans.

508.1.3.5 Water supply data. Water supply test infor-mation for public mains shall be obtained from the Cityof Phoenix Water Services Department within 90 days ofplan submittal. The Water Services Department hydrantflow test report form shall be submitted with the plans.

Water supply tests conducted on private fire servicemains shall be witnessed by the fire code official.



508.1.3.5.1 Water flow test location. The location ofhydrants used to determine the available water supplyshall be shown on the plans. The plans shall providedetail on how the private fire service main is con-nected to the city main. The size and location of thecity main in the street and whether the main is dead-end or circulating shall be shown on the plans. If themain is a dead-end, the direction and distance to thenearest circulating main shall be noted on the plans.

The elevation of the static and residual pressure testgauge with relation to the on-site hydrants shall benoted on the plans.

508.1.3.5.2 Design safety factor. The water flow testresults shall be adjusted as noted in Sections508.1.3.5.3 and 508.1.3.5.4 to account for seasonaland daily fluctuations in the water supply system.

508.1.3.5.3 Static pressure over 90 psi. When thestatic pressure is over 90 pounds per square inch (psi)the maximum design static pressure will be 80 psi re-gardless of the actual test pressure. The slope of theoriginal design curve shall be used even though thedesign pressure is reduced to 80 psi.

508.1.3.5.4 Static pressure less than or equal to 90psi. When the recorded static pressure is less than orequal to 90 psi, the system design shall include a mini-mum 10 psi safety factor between the system flow andpressure demand and the available water supply.

508.2 Required water supply for fire protection. The mini-mum required fire flow for private fire service mains shall bedetermined as required in Appendix B.

508.2.1 Reduction in the required fire flow. A 50 percentreduction of the minimum required fire flow amount deter-mined by using Appendix B is allowed when the building isprotected throughout by an automatic fire sprinkler systemdesigned for the hazard and installed in accordance withNFPA 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Sys-tems. See B105.1

The flow required to supply the sprinkler system is not re-quired to be added to the fire flow.

508.2.2 Fire flow in public mains. The fire flow in publicwater mains shall be in accordance with the design stan-dards found in the City of Phoenix Water Services Depart-ment Design Standards Manual for Water Systems.

508.2.3 Storage of combustible materials or hazardousmaterials.
