Code and listing acceptance for Toronto
Ontario Building Code. The OBC adopts NFPA 20 for fire pump installation in Toronto. NFPA 20 requires UL/FM listed fire pumps, drivers and controllers. The pumps we supply meet NFPA 20 requirements for electric motor drive, diesel engine drive, centrifugal pump, vertical turbine pump, positive displacement pump and foam pump applications.
NFPA 20 fire pump installation. NFPA 20 requirements for general installation, pumps, fittings and piping, electric drive, controllers, diesel engine drive and acceptance testing govern Toronto fire pump installation. Our skids ship NFPA 20 compliant with factory documentation.
Toronto Fire Services acceptance testing. TFS acceptance test per NFPA 20 requires churn, rated and 150 percent capacity testing with calibrated flow meter or test header. ValveAtlas provides field test support and TFS-witnessed test coordination for Toronto high-rise and institutional projects.
Schools, universities and public sector. Toronto public-sector projects standardize on UL/FM listed fire pump skids. Bid package acceptance requires factory performance curve, UL/FM certificate and NFPA 20 compliance letter on submittal.
Approved-equal submittals
Where a specification names a specific manufacturer, we prepare an approved-equal submittal package (listing certificates, dimensional drawings and material data) for review by the engineer of record and the authority having jurisdiction.
Driver and controller options for Toronto fire pump skids
Electric motor drivers. TEFC motors, 25 HP to 500 HP, 460V/575V 3-phase 60Hz, UL Listed for fire pump service per NFPA 20. Inverter-duty rated, Class F insulation, 1.15 service factor. Mounted on fire pump skid with aligned motor coupling.
Diesel engine drivers. Diesel engine drivers for 50 HP to 750 HP fire pump service. UL Listed per NFPA 20 with dual battery, dual fuel solenoid, governor and cooling loop. Sub-base fuel tank per NFPA 20 sized for 8-hour run time.
Fire pump controllers. UL Listed fire pump controllers for electric or diesel drive. Automatic and manual start sequences, pressure-actuated start, weekly test timer, transfer switch (where required), NEMA 2/3R/4/12 enclosure.

Frequently asked questions (Toronto)
Are these fire pumps accepted by TFS? Yes. The fire pumps we supply are UL 448 Listed and FM Approved. Factory performance curve, UL certificate, FM certificate and NFPA 20 submittal package provided for every shipment.
What is the difference between horizontal split-case and end-suction? Horizontal split-case (HSC) offers higher flow rates (500-5000 GPM) and double-suction impeller for reduced NPSH required; end-suction offers compact footprint and lower first cost for smaller systems (250-2000 GPM). HSC is standard for Toronto high-rise standpipe-sprinkler combined systems; end-suction is typical for light and ordinary hazard sprinkler only.
When do I need a diesel engine drive? NFPA 20 requires diesel engine backup or secondary power source per NFPA 70 when normal power is not reliable. Toronto high-rise and assembly occupancies typically require diesel engine drive or dual electric service per NFPA 20. ValveAtlas provides diesel engines UL Listed for fire pump service.
What is the delivery time for a Toronto fire pump skid? Factory-assembled skids ship 6 to 10 weeks from order based on pump capacity, driver selection and controller configuration. Stock HSC 500 GPM and 1000 GPM ship 2 to 4 weeks. Bulk tower orders scheduled per release calendar.
