Question 316Safety & Environmental - 1st Asst/Chief
70% to passThe discharge side of every fire pump must be provided with a _______________.
Astrainer
Bpressure gage
Ccheck valve
Dgate valve
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) pressure gage. The discharge side of every fire pump must be provided with a pressure gage to monitor the pump's output pressure. This is a requirement specified in the regulations governing fire protection equipment on commercial vessels, as it allows the crew to ensure the pump is operating within the designated pressure range. The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) a strainer is not required on the discharge side, C) a check valve is required on the suction side to prevent backflow, and D) a gate valve would be used to control the flow, not monitor the pressure.
