A vertical pipe, open at the top, between a hydrant and a reservoir, to equalize the flow of water; also, a large vertical pipe, near a pumping engine, into which water is forced up, so as to give it sufficient head to rise to the required level at a distance.
A supply pipe of sufficient elevation to enable the water to flow into the boiler, notwithstanding the pressure of the steam.
A vertical tube filled with a liquid such as water.
A device used to tap into pressurised fire hydrants in the ACT
A stand pipe can be any of the following: Open vertical pipe that receives water from a washing machine, vertical pipe supplying water to a fire sprinkler system, large vertical pipe into which water is pumped in order to produce a desired pressure, a high vertical pipe or reservoir that is used to secure a uniform pressure in a water-supply system.
(1) Open vertical pipe that receives water from an automatic washing machine. (2) The vertical pipe run supplying water to a fire sprinkler system.
a vertical pipe rising along the side of the derrick or mast, which joins the discharge line leading from the mud pump to the rotary hose and through which mud is pumped going into the hole.
A method of storing water and equalizing water pressure to minimize the pulsations of water flowing in the mains, used prior to modern pumping methods, consisting of a large vertical pipe in which a column of water rises and falls; often built inside towers.
a flat bottomed cylindrical tank with a shell height greater than its diameter
is a vertical pipe for the conveyance of water, gas, etc. to a higher level.
A pipe that extends the full height of a building, with hose connections, used to provide water exclusively for the fighting of fires. A dry standpipe does not have water in it until a valve is activated. A wet standpipe is directly connected to a water supply and usually located in a stairway.
A water tank that is taller than it is wide.
system of pipes inside a building for conducting water for firehose attachments; May be pressurized with water ("wet") or remain "dry" until activated in an emergency; supplied either from a fire hydrant attachment or from a fire engine's pump. Permits firefighters to reach higher levels of tall buildings without having to run hoses up the stairs.
A vertical piece of drain pipe that automatic washing machine drainage hoses are inserted into.
A standpipe is a type of rigid water piping which is built into in multi-story buildings in a vertical position to be used in the event of a fire. It is always there and available for use in an emergency.
