| 9<\/td>\n | Foreword I.\tIntroduction. I.A.\tBackground.\u2003Since the 1990s, utilities have increasingly found a need to install water meters in applications involving one- and two-family dwellings and manufactured homes that require both domestic service (potable water) and fire sprinkler systems I.B.\tHistory.\u2003This standard is the first edition for meters used in this application. It was developed by the AWWA Standards Subcommittee on Cold-Water Meters for Residential Fire Sprinkler Applications, and it was approved by the AWWA Standards Committee I.C.\tAcceptance.\u2003In May 1985, the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) entered into a cooperative agreement with a consortium led by NSF International (NSF) to develop voluntary third-party consensus standards and a certification program for direct <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | ||||||
| 11<\/td>\n | II.\tSpecial Issues. II.A.\tUse of Residential Fire Sprinkler Meters.\u2003The use of residential fire sprinkler meters is a water purveyor choice. The preferable arrangement according to NFPA 13D has no meter on the fire sprinkler supply line. This arrangement limits the devices o III.\tUse of This Standard.\u2003It is the responsibility of the user of an AWWA standard to determine that the products described in that standard are suitable for use in the particular application being considered.
