Fire Department Clip Art
If you have been involved with the fire protection industry for any length of time, you have probably heard the phrase "fire department connection" or "FDC" more times than you can count. But, what exactly is a fire department connection? The term can be used to describe any number of building connections designed to supply water during a fire.
Most commonly, a fire department connection consists of a brass body with two, three, or four 2½" inlets for the fire department to connect hoses to. Generally, water is pumped into the connection to supplement the building's fire sprinkler or standpipe system. In most cases each inlet has its own clapper, or check valve, that will only allow water to move in one direction, into the building. Connections usually fall under one of three categories: exposed, flush mount, and free standing.
