In the past, the AHJ's have only required 250 GPM at the wall hydrant.
This would be combined in at the point of connection to a common system
point.  I think the intent is to provide an outside hose connection for
the FDP when it is impractical / impossible to get their pumper truck to
this location.

Would you be calculating the interior piping for the combined flows of
the exterior streams and interior sprinkler system?  Keeping in mind
that a wall hydrant - if it's a "real" wall hydrant and part of the site
fire flow design - would likely have to discharge 1500 GPM minimum,
perhaps more per the Fire Code.

Subject: Wall hydrants

Does a wall hydrant need a dedicated feed from the riser or can it be
fed off an adjacent sprinkler system as long as a PIV control valve is
installed?
I have only designed them with a dedicated feed  but a salesman is
questioning this and I could not find anywhere in NFPA to back it up.
Thanks,
Dewayne
