standpipe
Firefighter's water source
A standpipe is a vertical pipe that connects to a water supply system.
In buildings, standpipes provide fire hose connections on each floor for firefighting.
In water systems, a standpipe is a tall cylindrical tank that maintains pressure through its height.
Plumbers also use the term for a vertical drainpipe that receives wastewater from washing machines.
