- In a forced air system, a pressurized chamber that contains gas (typically just air) at a positive pressure which is used instead of ductwork to distribute air throughout a space is known as:
- The process of moving air within a space to prevent air from becoming stagnant.
- Calculates cooling and heating capacity over a certain time.
- A type of fire suppression system where the pipes are filled with pressurized air (or nitrogen) instead of the suppression medium.
- What piece of equipment heats up water for plumbing use (meaning water for human use/consumption)?
- A vertical (typically) piping system within a building (usually a stairwell) used to connect fire hoses to for additional support in suppressing a fire

- An apparatus used to connect fire hoses to on the outside of the building so that the fire department can pump additional water into the building for fire suppression.
- In locations (or buildings) that might not require a new automatic suppression system, what might be a potential cost benefit of installing one anyway?
- What could happen if your plumbing vent piping was not sized large enough?
- Which type of pump is the MOST commonly used?
- Building Use and Occupancy have nothing to do with the type of Fire Protection System
- Use hard 90o turns, can be used to throttle flow, typically in water or gas supply lines
- Which of the following is NOT one of the 4 main plumbing systems?
