excellent question. I put my money on Steve's answer. The NFPA committees that I am on (or familiar with) are aggressively moving away from encouraging occupants to use a hose (which correlates nicely with OSHA requirements).

I think that the sections I referenced are quite clear:

"For Class III systems installed without hose, the water supply requirements shall be as specified for Class I systems."

That would be ALL of the water supply design criteria, including both maximum and minimum pressures.

The foregoing is the opinion of the writer alone, and does not necessarily represent the intent of the NFPA 14 Technical Committee, nor constitute a formal or informal interpretation of the standard.
