Todd: This prompts several questions:
1. Is the building sprinklered? 2. When you say hose "stations", do you mean Class II or Class I connections? 3. Is this a high-rise? If not, are you asking about hydraulics for purposes of doing a proof calc' from the FDC or is someone requiring an automatic water supply? 4. Does each separate riser have its own FDC? 5. Who designed this multi-riser arrangement? 14 says that standpipes are to be interconnected ...

The building is 500 feet long and there is a central corridor with units on either side. We have been asked to install hose stations at three locations in the main corridor, fed from a separate standpipe from the basement. These will be no where near the stairtowers. Due to the location of the hose connections, there is no way that a hose connection on level 2 could ever be used for a fire on level 3. In the hydraulic calculations, do you still need to include 250 gpm from each of the top two outlets on the first standpipe? Also, each standpipe is to be fed from a different riser, so the connection of the three would occur in the underground. Do you still need to calculate the demand that includes all three? Todd G.
