1) There is no 2015 edition of NFPA 14. The 2016 has been final-drafter, and I don't believe there were any NITMAM's so adoption is imminent if I'm not mistaken.
2) Jerry - as for viewing the changes, you can see the First Draft and Second Draft reports on line at nfpa.org. Section 7.3.2 Locations of Hose Connections has been overhauled. The committee used its Imperial powers to combine four PI's into a single revision of that chapter, including some committee comments and, in the 2nd Draft cycle, the work product of a task group on 2-hour separations. It will be twice as long and much more specific. 3) To the issue of the valve that is shown in Fig. A.7.3.2(5), it's my personal opinion that the valve is not required (nor desirable) in an environment that is NOT subject to freezing. Just sayin ... The foregoing is my opinion only and does not necessarily represent the opinion or intent of the NFPA 14 Technical Committee on Standpipe and Hose Systems.

There is gate valve installed isolating the hose valve on the roof. Is there verbiage about this isolation valve? Is the valve required if you're not in areas subject to freezing?
