Where exactly does the flushing requirements of NFPA 24 come to play for the suction piping on a fire pump?
It appears that the suction piping, even for a combined lead in, has to be flushed per NFPA 24 back to the point of connection to the city main. Am I correct on this thinking? This means 2350GPM for a 8in lead in instead of 1560GPM per NFPA 20. What happens if you can't get this flow rate? I don't see an exception, like in 24, to just flow as much as you can.
