Probably not unless it's a jurisdictional requirement. Most places (and the IFC) defer to NFPA 291. I'd say this is a "cite your source" moment.

A client of mine is trying to set up a water test and an official said that their proposal is not acceptable because the hydrants don't meet the "300 ft rule". Apparently something about hydrants used for a test cannot be any closer than 300 ft. I have not heard of this and could find no reference. Is this a thing?
