Just throwing this out there, how many designers add a note to the drawings indicating the signage required at the fire department connection indicating the pressure required to deliver the standpipe system demand as per NFPA #14 section 6.4.5.2.2 (2016ed).
On a second note we have a building that is sprinklered and has a standpipe and as such the standpipe demand when calculated is 63psi @ 500gpm at the top most outlets, so the pressure required to deliver this is 112psi at the inlet of the Siamese connection, this was what we put on the sign. I have been advised that this is wrong and the pressure would be 149psi at the inlet as this would then deliver 100psi at the hose valve. Comments?
