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.
