A fire is discovered on the twelfth floor of a structure. An arriving engine company proceeds to the seventh floor of the structure and connects 150 feet of 1 3/4-inch hose to the standpipe outlet and proceeds to the eighth floor to attack the fire. The hoseline is equipped with a fog nozzle set to flow 125 gpm. Determine the total pressure loss due to friction and elevation pressure at the
standpipe system fire department connection. (Use the rule-of-thumb for friction loss in the standpipe system.)
What will be an ideal response?
