NFPA 1962: 2013 EditionStandard for the Care, Use, Inspection, ServiceTesting, and Replacement of Fire Hose,Couplings, Nozzles, and Fire Hose Appliances.

NFPA 1962: 2013 EditionNozzles; pieces of hardware that are used todischarge water in a straight stream or fogpattern while connected to a hose or monitor.

NFPA 1962: 2013 EditionNozzles:1. Visual inspection after each use, (min annually) Clear waterwayNo damage to the tipControls operate as designedIf there is a shutoff, it closes completelyNo parts missing or brokenThread gasket is in good conditionIf nozzle fails any, it shall be removed and repaired.

NFPA 1962: 2013 EditionNozzles:2. Service Testing (min same as hose it is used with)A. Hydrostatic TestB. Flow TestIf nozzle fails any, it shall be removed and repaired.

NFPA 1962: 2013 EditionA. Hydrostatic Test (nozzles with shutoff)a. Mount nozzle to devise, shutoff closedb. Hydrostatically test to 300psi or 1.5x max operatingpressure (whichever is higher)c. Bleed air from the system.d. Hydrostatically pressure by 50 psi increments, heldfor 30 seconds up to max and then held for 1 minutewith no sign of leakage.

NFPA 1962: 2013 EditionB. Flow Testa. Mount nozzle to devise capable of measuring flow/pressureb. Set to rated pressure with nozzle fully openc. Make sure flowing between -0% and 10%. (full pattern range)d. Automatic nozzles (constant pressure)i.Set flow a minimum range and record pressureii. Slowly increase flow to maximum flowiii. Record minimum and maximum pressures in that range.iv. Must maintain rated pressure of 15 psi throughout flow rangee. Operate valve through full range of motion with no leakage

NFPA 1962: 2013 EditionNozzles:3. ReplacementIf nozzle fails any, it shall be removed and repairedor replaced.Also, Nozzle users and the authority havingjurisdiction shall establish a replacement schedulefor their nozzle that takes into consideration theuse and age of the nozzles and testing results.

NFPA 1962: 2013 Edition4. Nozzle RecordsA. A record of each nozzle shall be maintained from the time the nozzle ispurchased until it is discarded.B. The identification number shall be marked on the nozzle in a manner thatprevents damage to the nozzle or applianceC. The following info (if applicable) shall be included on the record:i.ii.iii.iv.v.vi.vii.Assigned identification numberManufacturerProduct or model designationVendorWarrantyHose connection sizeMaximum operating pressureviii. Flow rate or rangeix. Date received and date put in servicex. Date of each service test and service testresultsxi. Damage and repairs, including who made therepairs and the cost of repair partsxii. Reason removed from service

NFPA 1962: 2013 EditionAppliance; A piece of hardware (excludingnozzles) generally intended for connection tofire hose to control or convey water.

NFPA 1962: 2013 EditionAppliance:1. Visual inspection, at least quarterly All valves open and close smoothly and fully.The waterway is clear of obstructions.There is no damage to any thread or other type connection.The pressure setting of the relief valve, if any, is set correctly.All locks and hold-down devices work properly.Internal gaskets meet standard.No damage (e.g., dents, cracks, or other defects that could impair operation).All swiveling connections rotate freely.There are no missing parts or components.There is no corrosion on any surface.The marking for maximum operating pressure is visible.There are no missing, broken, or worn lugs on couplings.If appliance fails any, it shall be removed andrepaired.

NFPA 1962: 2013 EditionAppliance:2. Service Testing (at least annually)A. Hydrostatic TestB. Relief Valve TestC. Shutoff Valve TestD. Check Valve TestIf appliance fails any, it shall be removed andrepaired.

NFPA 1962: 2013 EditionA. Hydrostatic Testa. Appliance in a protective devise or cover capable ofholding the appliance and testing.b. Hydrostatically test to a minimum 300psi.c. Test caps attached.d. Relief valves blanked off or closed if presentc. Bleed air from the system.d. Hydrostatically pressure by 50 psi increments, heldfor 30 seconds up to max and then held for 1 minutewith no sign of leakage.

NFPA 1962: 2013 EditionB. Relief Valve Testa.b.c.d.e.f.g.Do hydrostatic test first.Test relief valve separately from any device it is connected to.Relief valve set to its lowest setting and pressurized.If the relief valve does not operate at or below a pressure 10% over thesetting, the test shall be discontinued and the relief valve repaired orreplaced.A calibrated test gauge shall be used to verify the setting.After successful completion of the test the relief valve shall be reset tothe pressure designated by the AHJ.The final setting of the relief valve shall be confirmed by pressure testing.

NFPA 1962: 2013 EditionC. Shutoff Valve Testa.b.c.d.If the appliance has a shutoff valve, the intake side of the shutoff valveshall be hydrostatically pressurized to the maximum working pressure ofthe appliance with the valve in the shutoff position.There shall be no leakage through the valve.A water flow through the fire hose appliance at 100 psi shall beestablished.The valve shall be closed and reopened twice and shall operate smoothlywithout evidence of binding or other problems.

NFPA 1962: 2013 EditionD. Check Valve Testa.b.If the appliance has a check valve, and the check valve can be pressurizedby valves being closed downstream of the check valve, the output side ofthe check valve shall be hydrostatically pressurized to the maximumworking pressure of the appliance.There shall be no leakage through the check valve.

NFPA 1962: 2013 Edition3. Fire Hose Appliance RecordsA. A record of each fire hose appliance shall be maintained from the time theappliance is purchased until it is discarded.B. Each fire hose appliance shall be assigned to an identification number for usein recording its history throughout its service life.C. The identification number shall be marked on the appliance in a manner thatprevents damage to the applianceD. The following info (if applicable) shall be included on the record:i.ii.iii.iv.v.vi.vii.Assigned identification numberManufacturerProduct or model designationVendorWarrantyHose connection sizeMaximum operating pressureviii. Flow rate or rangeix. Date received and date put in servicex. Date of each service test and service testresultsxi. Damage and repairs, including who made therepairs and the cost of repair partsxii. Reason removed from service

ReplacementIf appliance fails any, it shall be removed andrepaired or replaced.Also, Appliance users and the authority havingjurisdiction shall establish a replacement schedulefor their appliance that takes into consideration theuse and age of the appliance and testing results.

NFPA 1962: 2013 Edition 4. Nozzle Records A. A record of each nozzle shall be maintained from the time the nozzle is purchased until it is discarded. B. The identification number shall be marked on the nozzle in a manner that prevents damage to the nozzle or appliance C.
