Plastic pipe in combined fire hydrant and sprinkler systems
Section 3.2 of AS 2118.6–2012 indicates that pipes and fittings shall meet the requirements of AS 2419.1 for the hydrant system, and AS 2118.1 for the sprinkler system.
As a combined hydrant and sprinkler system will be used as a fire hydrant system during fire brigade operations, the minimum requirements of AS 2419.1 should be adopted for any such system.
FRNSW does not support the installation of any plastic pipe above ground as part of any combined fire hydrant and automatic fire sprinkler system.
