What type of standpipe system provides 1 1/2 inch hose stations primarily for trained personnel or fire department use?

The type of standpipe system that provides 1 1/2-inch hose stations primarily for trained personnel or fire department use is known as a Class I standpipe system. This design is intended primarily for use by fire department personnel when they arrive on the scene of a fire. Class I standpipes are equipped with larger hose connections and are typically found in larger buildings where trained professionals can effectively use them to combat fires.

The 1 1/2-inch hose is appropriate for trained responders who understand how to manage the system and can use the equipment safely and effectively. This system allows for a reliable source of water for fire suppression efforts.

In contrast, Class II standpipes are typically intended for use by the occupants of the building. They include smaller hose connections (usually 1 inch) for quick access by non-professionals, typically found in buildings with lower heights. Class III standpipes are designed to provide both hoses for trained personnel and connections for fire department use, therefore serving two different purposes. A manual standpipe refers to those that require a person to pump water manually, but it's not relevant to the definitions of Class I, II, or III standpipe systems.

Overall, Class I is specifically designed to assist professionals in fire management,
