Wow Alex. You didn't provide any of that information in you initial post. Based upon the information Tim provided, how do you leap to the conclusions and assumptions that you made?
I would think a little more research might have to go into this before you finalize your modifications.

I was familiar with these aspects and this confirm it. I wanted to make sure that an existing standpipe system dated of 1976 in a condo building of 21 floors was able to withstand the new fire pump requirements at churn. The standpipe seems to be made entirely of welded joints (with a min. of schedule 10 piping I assume). In this case, I guess, only the hose connections will have to be replaced by pressure reducing valves.
