How would you shut down potential supply flow from the common FDC to the out of 
service system riser?

Brian, If FDC supply pipe were run from a single FDC to both system risers, and 
connected to the system risers between the BFP (or other supply check valve) 
and a system control valve, either of the systems could be shut down for 
maintenance/repair without impairing the FDC for the in-service system.  Each 
system riser would need its own FDC check valve.  Doing this might require more 
bulk pipe and a couple more control valves.

Subject: (1) FDC or (2)

I'm working on a storage building that because of the way the building was 
built each "side" has its own Riser with its own FDC connection (picture a big 
horseshoe shape). 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?
