What statement is NOT correct about a pressure tap?

It allows for measurement of pressure
The fire protection must be taken out of service
Installation is often necessary for maintenance
It is typically used for sampling water

The correct answer is: The fire protection must be taken out of service

The statement regarding the fire protection system needing to be taken out of service to install a pressure tap is not correct. Pressure taps are designed to allow for pressure measurement without disrupting the overall functionality of the water distribution system, including the fire protection systems. Portable or permanent pressure taps can be installed in locations that do not compromise system integrity or safety. This means that it's feasible to measure pressure while fire protection systems remain fully operational, making it convenient and efficient for maintenance and operational monitoring. In contrast, the other statements about pressure taps are accurate. They do allow for the measurement of pressure, which is fundamental for managing water distribution systems. Additionally, installation of pressure taps is often necessary for maintenance purposes, providing a point for testing and sampling without affecting the flow in a significant way. While pressure taps can sometimes be utilized in sampling water, this is secondary to their primary purpose of allowing pressure measurements.
