What is a Fire Department Connection (FDC)?
FDC stands for Fire Department Connection. An FDC, or, when it has two outlets, a Siamese Connection, or a fire department Siamese connection, is a crucial component of a building's fire protection system. It serves as a dedicated connection point that allows firefighters to easily connect their hoses to the building's fire sprinkler or standpipe system. The FDC enables the fire department to supply additional water or pressure to enhance the effectiveness of fire suppression efforts. It acts as a vital link between the fire department's equipment and the building's fire protection infrastructure, enabling a rapid and coordinated response in the event of a fire emergency.
