    NFPA 20 Requirements for Fire Pump Installation in Oklahoma City

    NFPA 20 is the Standard for the Installation of Stationary Pumps for Fire Protection. While we don't install fire pumps, understanding NFPA 20 helps property managers understand what their pump system should look like and why annual NFPA 25 testing matters.

    What is NFPA 20?

    NFPA 20 governs the installation of stationary fire pumps, including electric and diesel-driven pumps, jockey pumps, controllers, and related equipment. It ensures the pump system is designed and installed to deliver the required pressure and flow.

    Once installed, NFPA 25 takes over — it defines the ongoing inspection, testing, and maintenance requirements that keep the pump performing as designed.

    How NFPA 20 and NFPA 25 work together

    NFPA 20 ensures your fire pump is installed correctly; NFPA 25 ensures it stays functional through regular testing. Annual flow tests per NFPA 25 verify the pump still performs to the original NFPA 20 design specifications.

    If our annual flow test shows the pump is no longer delivering required pressure or flow, we document the deficiency for your licensed pump contractor to investigate and correct.
