What must be located on the discharge side of the pump in a fire main system?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Pressure gauge.
The reason this is the correct answer is that according to the regulations governing fire main systems on commercial vessels, a pressure gauge must be located on the discharge side of the fire pump. This allows the crew to monitor the pressure in the fire main system and ensure it is within the required operating range.
The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) An international shore connection is used to connect the ship's fire main to a shore-based water supply, not on the discharge side of the pump. B) A reduction valve is used to reduce the fire main pressure, not required on the discharge side. C) A strainer may be present, but is not a mandatory component on the discharge side.
