Steve, Would the intent of 5.6.1 be met if there were flow switches on floor control valves with the required inspector's test for them?
It also says Standpipe System - not standpipe, so is the intent as it sounds that one flow switch would satisfy the requirement for more that one individual standpipe that are interconnected?
