Good point Ro - I was thinking about the definition and speaking to Charles' question. If you're going to retrofit the building with sprinklers the standard allows you to substitute a 2.5" x 1.5" reducer at each Class I connection for the Class II hose stations. The 130' coverage requirement is specifically excepted as well.
