AWWA C714:2019 pdf download.Cold-Water Meters for Residential Fire Sprinkler Systems in One- and Two-Family Dwellings and Manufactured Homes
AWWA C714 describes cold-water meters used for residential fire sprinkler applications that meet the requirements of NFPA * 13D in one- and two-family dwellings and manufactured homes, in sizes 3 in. (20 mm) through 2 in. (50 mm), and the materials and workmanship employed in their fabrication. Meter types addressed in this standard for the purpose stated in Sec. 1.2 are positive displacement- type meters meeting the requirements of ANSI † /AWWA C700 or C710, turbine- type meters meeting the requirements of ANSI/AWWA C701, multijet-type meters meeting the requirements of ANSI/AWWA C708, singlejet-type meters meeting the requirements of ANSI/AWWA C712, fluidic-oscillator-type meters meeting the requirements of ANSI/AWWA C713, and electromagnetic- and ultrasonic- type meters meeting the requirements of ANSI/AWWA C715.
This standard can be referenced in specifications for purchasing and receiving cold-water meters for residential fire sprinkler applications that meet the requirements of NFPA 13D in one- and two-family dwellings and manufactured homes, in sizes 3 in. (20 mm) through 2 in. (50 mm). This standard can be used as a guide for manufacturing cold-water meters for these applications. The stipulations of this standard apply when this document has been referenced and then only to cold-water meters for residential fire sprinkler applications meeting the requirements of NFPA 13D. This standard does not apply to meters that are used on lines that supply only a fire sprinkler system.
AWWA recognizes the increasing use of residential fire sprinkler systems and recommends that they be designed by licensed or accredited professionals; approved and inspected by the appropriate local agencies (water utility, fire department, and/or other approval agency) to ensure adequate flow, pressure, backflow protection and installation; and installed by licensed fire sprinkler contractors or properly trained personnel. The design of a system requires communication with the utility so that available water pressures and flow to the residential fire sprinkler system can be determined and the design can meet the utility’s requirements.AWWA C714 pdf download.
