Any takers out there for this ANG ETL related question? Per ETL 02-15 para A1.4.3.10, "At least one arrester will be provided for each pump and each must be listed/approved as a surge arrester for fire protection piping, with a volume of not less than 100 gal and a rated working pressure of not less than 250 psi. Provide each arrester with an indicating valve to isolate it from the system." We are having a little argument here in the office as to whether the intent here is to require separate surge arresters for each pump or whether the combined required capacities for all surge arresters can be combined into one large arrester.
Example: 3 pumps = 3 - 100 gal surge arresters Or 3 pumps = 1 - 300 gal surge arrester Thank you, Ryan L.
