It isn't appropriate for 13 to change? Just because it is the same
piece of equipment doesn't mean that they have the same objectives or
levels of criticality.
Try submitting a proposal next cycle showing the friction loss and try
to change it. WHat is the loss at 250 gpm and 500 gpm?

Maybe because the 14 committee knows there is no way to "supplement"
the water supply. If the pressure and flow at the FDC is great
enough to open the check valve it will close the riser check. While
I don't agree with the 250 gpm for each inlet, 500 is more
reasonable. 13 should drop "supplemental" altogether or replace it
with something more realistic.
