The Freestanding Fire Pump Test Connection is a purpose-built unit designed for conducting flow tests on fire pumps without discharging water into the protected building. Installed externally or within pump rooms, this self-supported assembly allows fire protection professionals to verify that fire pumps meet performance standards in line with NFPA 20 and other regulatory guidelines.
This unit typically includes multiple test outlets mounted on a sturdy frame or post, and is connected to the fire pump discharge line. It provides a safe, accessible point to connect hoses, flow meters, or calibrated nozzles for water flow measurement and pump capacity verification.
