His chest crushed her big tits as he lowered himself flat onto her. His thighs forced her legs wide apart.

Inch by inch, until they were both exhausted from painful wanting, he pressed forward. He wanted to plunge to the very end of her hot, pink fuck-tunnel, but this was the most enjoyable way for him-to drive her wild first. His cock was throbbing painfully with the need to pound the hell out of her cunt. They exclude delivery charges and customs duties and do not include additional charges for installation or activation options. These areas are designed to restrict the growth and spread of fire allowing occupants to escape and offering protection for firefighters.

To keep on hand the spare parts required as specified in 7. MAINS: 7. MS pipes may be allowed for extension of existing systems which are laid with CI pipes with prior approval of the Committee. Haliday Testing for Wrapping and Coating is essential. These pipes are permitted for use in Light Hazard Occupancies for underground mains only. As far as possible MS Steel pipes shall also be laid 1m below ground level.

NOTES — 1 Where applicable, Radiography Test Certificate and films for welded joints of mild steel pipes and Haliday Test Certificate for coating and wrapping of underground mild steel pipes shall be submitted before the final inspection. Haliday Testing may preferably be carried by flexible and detachable ring probe, which will enable the entire o of the surface of the pipe to be scanned.

In case of poor soil conditions, it may be necessary to provide continuous masonry or equivalent 7. The spacing of supports shall be 3. Pipes shall be run at least 6 m away from the face of the buildings and open storage areas in case of Light and Ordinary Hazard Occupancies and 15 m.

Where, however, circumstances necessitate laying of mains under buildings, prior permission of the Committee shall be obtained and the portion of mains falling under the buildings shall be laid in masonry trenches with removable covers and cut-off valves shall be provided at points of entry and exit.

As far as possible, mains shall not be laid under large open storages, railroads and roads carrying heavy traffic. The Tariff Advisory Committee may, at their discretion, relax this requirement in extenuating circumstances. While hydro-testing inclusion of cut-off valves in the mains to be tested should be avoided.

The drilling of each flange shall be in accordance with the relevant Indian Standards. NOTES - 1 In calculating the number of hydrants in the system, a double headed hydrant shall be counted as two, a fixed monitor of 63 mm size having nozzle bore of 32 mm shall be counted as three, a fixed monitor of 75 mm size having nozzle bore of 38 mm shall be counted as four and a fixed monitor of mm size having nozzle bore of 45 mm as six hydrant points. In case of Oil Refineries, Petrochemical complexes or other risks, where double headed hydrants are used throughout the system so that the total number of hydrants counting a double headed hydrant as two hydrants is about double the number of hydrants required as per the general requirements of this Manual, a double headed hydrant may be regarded as a single hydrant only.

In case the hydraulically most remote point is the area determining the fire pump capacity, the entire aggregate pumping capacity shall be considered as being discharged at this point at a minimum running pressure of 5. In case the hydraulically most remote point happens to be, pressure requirement at this point can be restricted to 3. Instead of 5. A terminal main of 80 mm diameter shall not feed more than one hydrant, that having a diameter of mm shall not feed more than two hydrants, that having a diameter of mm shall not feed more than three hydrants and a main of mm shall not feed more than five hydrants.

The Committee may, at their discretion, permit more than five hydrants on riser mains of storeyed structures. These valves are distributed according to the general layout of the installation and not according to fixed rules. For this reason, the proposed position of these valves shall have the prior approval of the Committee. Cut-off valves shall conform to IS: , PN 1. Cast Steel valves of class are, however, acceptable irrespective of the working pressure of the system.

Other types of valves like rising spindle valves may be used, subject to prior approval of the 3. Butterfly valves also can be accepted subject to the condition that the valves of diameter exceeding mm shall necessary be of gear operated. The top of the surface box shall be 80 mm above ground level, except where it is locate on a road.

Before final inspection the hydrant system shall be flushed thoroughly. Where such permission has been given, the hydrants shall be properly enclosed in a surface box of cast iron or masonry mm square and 80 mm above ground level, the top of he hydrant outlet being not more than 80 mm below the top of the box. B - Orifice plates of suitable design may be provided for hydrants where the pressure exceeds 7 kg.

A single control valve will not be permitted. Where hydrants are situated in remote locations, they shall be approachable by means of paved pathways. They shall be so distributed as to provide protection for the buildings on all sides and need not necessarily be equidistant from each other.

In case of continuous blank walls, suitable provision shall be made on the walls near hydrant posts for easy access inside the premises.

Further, all hydrants and monitors should be serially numbered. NOTE: Notwithstanding the above, hydrants protecting utilities and miscellaneous buildings in High hazard risks may be spaced at 45 m. Where any part of a building is normally used for storage purpose or where hazardous processes are carried out, there shall be two single or one double headed hydrant within 15 m of the building, the layout being such that two jets of water can be played simultaneously on the highest point of the roof.

In case of buildings having roofs other than RCC, it is advisable to provide hydrants at the roof level along with access staircases in order to fight the fire by breaking open the roofs, if necessary. In case of large switchyards, where it is not feasible to lay internal hydrants, alternate hydrants may be replaced by monitors of suitable size.

B: Distance of 45 m indicated above shall be increased to 60 m for light hazard occupancies and reduced to 30 m for high hazard occupancies. Normally, a minimum of two such staircases will be needed per compartment, but in case the area of the compartment exceeds 2, sq.

On the other hand, if a compartment has a floor area of less than sq. The access staircases shall be so located that, as far as possible, no part of each floor is more than 30 m from the nearest staircase. Where it is not possible to locate the staircase in the aforesaid manner, the Committee may suggest alternative methods for protection of such large upper floors.

External access staircases shall be open to sky. The staircases shall conform to the following 7. A door opening shall be provided in this external wall at ground floor level.

The enclosing walls shall be of brick work atleast mm thick or reinforced concrete atleast mm thick carried through and atleast mm above the roof of the building, unless the roof is of jack arch or reinforced concrete construction in which case the walls need be carried upto the roof only. Every opening from the staircase to any portion of the building or to a roof used as a floor shall be fitted with a single fireproof door.

B: The above rule will not apply to buildings, the upper floors of which are occupied by offices, air washer plants, rest rooms, cloak rooms, canteen and the like.

However, if external staircases are enclosed, they shall be considered equivalent to internal staircases. NOTE: Iron rung ladders or spiral staircases shall not be acceptable. Conversely, in the case of open-sided staircases, window and door openings of the building falling within 3 m of the staircase shall normally be protected by wired glass in steel framework and single fireproof door respectively in accordance with the Committee's regulations. NOTE: The latter part of this rule shall not apply to buildings, which are essentially open sided.

During non-working hours, the exits may be locked from the staircase side only. Locks of all exits shall have one master key, which shall be available either at the main gate, or any other prominent and easily accessible location known to the fire fighting personnel. Alternatively, the key shall be kept in a glass-fronted box or in the hose box on the staircase landing.

The mains feeding the landing hydrants shall be provided with a cut-off valve at ground level also see N. When the height exceeds 15 m, the concerned hydrants shall be replaced by monitors.

Where maintenance of illumination depends upon changing from one energy source to another, there shall be no appreciable interruption of illumination during changeover. Where emergency lighting is provided by means of electric generator, a delay of not more than 10 seconds shall be permitted for changeover.

Emergency lighting facilities shall be arranged to maintain proper illumination for a period of oneand-a-half hours in the event of lighting failures. The Emergency lighting system shall be so arranged as to provide sufficient illumination automatically in the event of any interruption of normal lighting.

Coal or Coke One single hydrant for every 45 m of storage periphery located beyond 2 m but within 15 m of storage area. Other storages One double hydrant for every 45 m of the storage periphery located beyond 2 m, but within One double headed or two single headed hydrants. Tanks above 10 m but upto 20 m dia. Two double headed or four single headed hydrants. Tanks above 20 m dia. Three double headed or six single headed hydrants.

In case tanks are located more than Every alternate monitor should be a foam monitor and a minimum of one such foam monitor should be provided 2. In case of foam system, there shall be additional protection by water spray system in the form of a ring along the top edge of the vertical face of the tank.
