the way to envision it is that you have to be able to cover the roof
just like an occupied floor (excluded steeply pitch areas as
identified in 14) so a single connection can NOT be used based on
having 500 ft of hose. Fortunately, Rich guided us to explicit
criteria.
To summarize, IF a stairwell has access to the roof, then the highest
landing in that stairwell will suffice otherwise extend it to the
roof as identified in the Annex.

The buildings in the area in which I live rarely, if ever, are more

four story motel with two standpipes with a combined system. I must
install
a roof manifold per code but I’m not sure if it should be one off each
standpipe. I would say yes because the standpipe pipe is sized by the
required hydraulic calculation procedure which utilizes both
standpipes
which share the required flow, so if there is only one roof
manifold at the
remote standpipe then the total flow could require larger pipe
which in turn
would make the initial calc procedure null and void. How many roof
manifolds
should I install?
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated,
