hi
the maximum velocity in fire fighting piping is 20 ft/sec as NFPA 20
and 35 ft/sec in inspection,test and stationary pumps as NFPA1963
ANY QUESTION ?
I AM READY FOR HELP
 
Reference in NFPA 20 applies only to the fire pump discharge pipe. NFPA 1963 covers fire hose connections. I don't think either are relevant.
