The issue with flowing more than required is not an issue as long as you don't exceed the velocity of the listing on the device. Exceed that in your forward flow test and some lawyer will make it look like you intentionally sabotaged the entire life safety system of the building including the alarm system. (Besides that fact you probably broke something, that will have to be replaced.)
Additionally some installation instructions say things like "Minimum 20 PSI supply pressure recommended" What happens when you draw it down below 20, cause your overflowing the device? You've violated the installation instructions, or so the lawyer says. Overflowing has consequences. Thom McMahon, SET Firetech, Inc. 2560 Copper Ridge Dr P.O.
