NFPA 15-2012 addresses which type of system?

• A. Foam-Water Sprinkler Systems
• B. Stationary Pumps
• C. Water Spray Fixed Systems for Fire Protection
• D. Water Tanks for Private Fire Protection

Answer: (C)

NFPA 15 is the standard for water spray fixed systems for fire protection. It covers systems that deliver water as a spray through fixed piping and nozzles to absorb heat and cool protected areas, providing broad coverage in places where a spray pattern is needed. Foam-water sprinkler systems are addressed by standards focused on foam suppression, not water spray fixed systems; stationary pumps fall under standards for pumps, and water tanks for private fire protection are covered by standards specific to tanks. So NFPA 15 directly corresponds to water spray fixed systems for fire protection, making it the best fit for this question.
