Which NFPA standard covers the installation of Foam-Water Sprinkler and Foam-Water Spray Systems?

Foam-water systems are a specialized fire-suppression setup, and the standard that covers their installation is NFPA 16. This standard provides the requirements for foam-water sprinkler and foam-water spray systems, including how foam concentrates are proportioned and stored, how the foam solution is produced and distributed, equipment selection, piping, controls, and acceptance testing. NFPA 13 handles general water-based sprinkler installations, NFPA 25 covers inspection and maintenance rather than installation, and NFPA 72 addresses fire alarm and signaling. So NFPA 16 is the correct reference for installing foam-water systems.
