Per edition 5 of the American Mutual Insurance Alliance Simplified water
supply testing "In testing a water system at a sprinklered plant, sometimes
we can note the residual pressure from a gauge at the base of the nearest
riser. This is not recommended as standard practice, but may be used when
other methods are not practical."
This was taught at FM when I was there. The logic is that the
effective point of the test would be as close to the sprinkler system
riser as possible, which has merit to it.
