Fire Pump Room & System Requirements — NFPA 20 / SASO

Every fire pump system installed in Saudi Arabia must comply with the Directorate General of Civil Defense (DGCD) regulations, NFPA 20 Standard for the Installation of Stationary Pumps for Fire Protection, and SASO-approved product requirements.

ANC provides end-to-end compliance, from fire pump room design and equipment supply to final Civil Defense inspection and certification.

Required Fire Pump Room Elements:

Listed fire pump controller (electric or diesel)
Automatic jockey (pressure maintenance) pump
Pressure relief valve and flow meter
Sensing line for fire pump pressure monitoring
Dedicated fire pump room with ventilation per NFPA 20
Diesel fuel tank with minimum 8-hour run time
Alarm panel and remote monitoring capability

Why SASO + UL Approval Matters

Civil Defense will not approve fire pump installations without SASO or UL certification. Using non-listed equipment creates legal liability and fails inspection.

Types of Fire Pump Systems

From diesel and electric fire pump sets to vertical turbine and split-case configurations — ANC supplies the right fire pump for every project type and flow requirement.

SASO APPROVED · D.J MODEL

DIESEL + JOCKEY FIRE PUMP

The D.J fire pump set combines a diesel-driven main fire pump with an automatic jockey (pressure maintenance) pump. Ideal for facilities requiring backup power independence from the electrical grid — complies with NFPA 20 and SASO for high-rise and industrial fire pump rooms.

SASO APPROVED · E.J MODEL

ELECTRIC + JOCKEY FIRE PUMP

The E.J fire pump system pairs an electric motor-driven centrifugal fire pump with a jockey pump. A reliable, low-maintenance fire fighting pump for commercial buildings, hotels, and shopping centers where a stable power supply is available.

Electric Motor Driven Low Maintenance SASO Approved Jockey Pump Included Commercial Grade

SASO APPROVED · E.D.J MODEL

ELECTRIC + DIESEL + JOCKEY

The E.D.J fire pump package provides maximum reliability with both electric and diesel drivers plus a jockey pump. Required by Civil Defense for critical facilities — hospitals, airports, government buildings — where redundancy is mandatory.

KEY SPECIFICATIONS

FIRE PUMP ROOM DESIGN

ANC engineers design compliant fire pump rooms per NFPA 20 — including pump layout, controller placement, sensing line routing, pressure relief valve, and all Civil Defense inspection requirements.

NFPA 20 Layout Controller Placement Sensing Line Routing Pressure Relief Valve CD Inspection Ready

UL APPROVED · END SUCTION

END SUCTION FIRE PUMP

Single-stage, end-suction centrifugal fire pump — UL 448 listed. Compact footprint makes it ideal for smaller fire pump rooms. Available in electric or diesel configuration. Suitable for mid-rise residential and commercial buildings.

UL 448 Listed Compact Design Easy Maintenance Mid-rise Suitable

UL APPROVED · SPLIT CASE

SPLIT CASE FIRE PUMP

Horizontal split-case centrifugal fire pump — UL listed, double suction impeller for high flow and efficiency. Used in large commercial, industrial, and campus fire pump systems requiring flows above 750 GPM.

UL Listed High Flow Capacity Industrial Grade Double Suction

PRESSURE MAINTENANCE

JOCKEY PUMP (PRESSURE MAINTENANCE PUMP)

The jockey pump — also called the pressure maintenance pump or fire jockey pump — keeps the fire suppression system pressurized at all times. It compensates for minor leaks and activates the main fire pump only when a real fire event occurs. Required in all NFPA 20 / SASO compliant systems.

Jockey Pump Pressure Maintenance Auto Start/Stop NFPA 20 Required System Integrity

JOCKEY VS MAIN PUMP

JOCKEY PUMP VS FIRE PUMP — KEY DIFFERENCES

The jockey pump is small (typically 1–5% of main pump flow) and runs frequently to maintain system pressure. The main fire pump is large and only activates when pressure drops significantly — indicating an open sprinkler or hose outlet. Both are mandatory in Saudi Civil Defense compliant systems.

Jockey Pump vs Fire Pump Small Capacity Frequent Cycling System Monitoring

FOAM FIRE PROTECTION

INDUSTRIAL FIRE FOAM PUMP

Heavy-duty industrial fire foam pumps for petrochemical, oil & gas, and warehousing applications. Includes foam dosing pump, proportioner, and concentrate pump for AFFF and AR-AFFF foam systems.

Fire Foam Pump AFFF Compatible Oil & Gas Foam Dosing Pump Eco-Friendly Foam

VERTICAL TURBINE

VERTICAL TURBINE FIRE PUMP

Vertical turbine fire pumps draw water from deep wells, reservoirs, or underground tanks. Ideal for large industrial facilities and remote sites without elevated water storage. Available in multi-stage configurations for high-rise applications.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

ANC supplies SASO-approved diesel fire pumps (D.J model), electric fire pumps (E.J model), dual E.D.J fire pump sets, and UL-listed end suction and split case fire pumps. We also supply vertical turbine fire pumps and industrial fire foam pump systems.

The jockey pump (pressure maintenance pump) is a small pump that keeps the fire suppression system continuously pressurized and compensates for minor leaks. The main fire pump is large and only activates when pressure drops sharply — indicating an open sprinkler head or fire hose. Both are required in every Saudi Civil Defense approved system.

Yes. All ANC fire pump products carry SASO certification and/or UL listing as required by Saudi Civil Defense regulations. We provide full documentation for Civil Defense approval, including product certificates, installation drawings, and NFPA 25 test reports.

NFPA 25 fire pump testing includes a weekly no-flow churn test (verifying automatic start), a quarterly inspection, and an annual full-flow performance test using a calibrated flow meter. ANC provides complete NFPA 25 test documentation for Civil Defense license renewals.

The sensing line for a fire pump is a small-diameter pipe connecting the fire suppression system to the pump controller's pressure switch. When system pressure drops (due to a fire event), the sensing line transmits this signal to the controller, which automatically starts the fire pump.

Yes. ANC has branches in Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam and serves all regions of Saudi Arabia including Mecca, Medina, Jubail, Yanbu, Tabuk, and Abha. We are a leading fire pump supplier in Saudi Arabia with 25+ years of experience.
