Wet Standpipe Signs are essential in identifying the location of a wet standpipe system in a building. These signs are typically made of aluminum and measure 2x6 inches, with a red background and bold white lettering that reads "WET STANDPIPE." They serve as a visual cue for firefighters and building occupants to quickly locate the wet standpipe in an emergency situation. These signs are typically installed near the wet standpipe connection points and should be clearly visible and legible from a distance.

Wet standpipes are an important part of fire safety systems in high-rise buildings, hotels, hospitals, and other large commercial or industrial buildings. They provide a ready source of water for firefighters to use in extinguishing fires. Wet standpipes are pipes that are constantly filled with water and are connected to the building's water supply. They are designed to be used with a fire hose to provide a steady flow of water to extinguish a fire.

It is important to note that wet standpipes require regular maintenance and testing to ensure that they are functioning properly. Building owners or managers should make sure that their wet standpipes are inspected and tested in accordance with local regulations and building codes. In addition, it is important to ensure that wet standpipe signs are installed correctly and are clearly visible and legible at all times.

In conclusion, Wet Standpipe Signs are a critical component of fire safety in buildings that have wet standpipe systems. These signs serve as a visual cue to quickly identify the location of the wet standpipe in an emergency situation. They should be installed near wet standpipe connection points, clearly visible, and legible from a distance. Regular maintenance and testing of wet standpipes are also crucial to ensure that they are functioning properly in the event of a fire.

Our standpipe signs – Design to inform 1st responded about the standpipe system in the building and their locations. A Standpipe system is a series of pipes which connect a water supply to hose connections, basically an extension of the fire hydrant system. They are designed to provide a pre-piped water system for building occupants or the fire department.

A standpipe system is An arrangement of piping, valves hose connections and other equipment installed in a building or structure, with the hose connections located in such a manner that water can be discharged in streams through attached hose and nozzles, for the purposes of extinguishing a fire, thereby protecting a building or structure and its contents in addition to protecting the occupants. This is accomplished by means of connections to water supply systems or by means of pump tanks and other equipment necessary to provide an adequate supply of water to the hose connections.”

It is, essentially, a way of delivering water from one area of the structure or facility to another so that we can fight the fire while at the same time shortening the length of the supply and attack lines. Standpipes can be an intricate or simple system, but the result is the same: water delivery. These systems can be vertical (which is the common type) or they can be horizontal.   

Below are four types of standpipes that you will find in use:

• Wet system. Here, water is in the pipes at all times and is supplied by a water source. The pressure in the system is constantly maintained.
• Automatic dry standpipe. Here, there is always air stored inside the standpipe at a constant pressure. When a hose valve is opened, the air escapes allowing the water to enter into the standpipe system.
• Semi-automatic dry standpipe. In this system, air is stored inside the pipes, which can be pressurized or not be pressurized. Once an actuation device such as a manual pull station or an electrical switch is activated, water then enters the system.
• Manual dry standpipe. This type of system has only pipes feeding the system with no air or water in them. A fire apparatus must be used to supply the water through the standpipe.
