This is a very well-structured and informative article that clearly outlines the essential fire pump requirements as per NFPA 20. Understanding the specifications related to pump types, sizing, installation conditions, and controller functions is crucial for ensuring safety and code compliance in building design. In MEP engineering, fire protection systems often get less attention during early planning phases, so resources like this play a critical role in promoting awareness and precision. It would be helpful to see future posts that explore common on-site challenges in fire pump installation and how to address them. Thanks for sharing such valuable technical insights!
