If they were connected and one system was taken out of service due to some event (fire, explosion, weather related) and the piping system was compromised, the FDC would be useless for charging the other system. I've seen warehouses where one system had been compromised, one by building collapse in a fire event, one where the building was hit by a microburst and a wall was taken out, which broke the fire main. The other portions of the buildings affected were still operable since they were completely separated. Let each system stand alone. Craig L.

The architect has requested that a single FDC be located on the corner of one of the building sides. Is it feasible to do this and tie the systems together via the FDC pipe or does each Riser still require its own FDC connection? Brian Harris, CET BVS Systems Inc.
