Question: Write a 2 page, 3-part (3 headings) DESCRIPTIVE (there should be no brand / specific product names referenced) specification section for fire line water supply piping to be used to supply fire protection water to a 150,000 square foot commercial office building. Determine the appropriate material for this application whether it be PVC, iron, steel, etc.

Clarification: You are writing a pipe specification (not a fire suppression spec.) for the water service line to supply the building fire suppression system. Assume that the piping starts 5 feet outside the building and taps into an existing water main. You should consider what is required to install the pipe underground, pipe material, testing, tapping, etc. and include these items in your write-up. This work is typically performed by the site utility or plumbing contractor. No work inside the building needs to be considered for this exercise.
