I would go back to the Fire Department and get a clarification on water demand requirements for the wall hydrant, if it can come off the sprinkler system and provide the necessary water flow then there shouldn't be an issue with that, if not then a dedicated main line back to the water entry may be required.

Everyone already covered the difference between a wall hydrant and FDC, so I won't keep doing that. I have had a similar situation, adding a wall hydrant, and I'm curious if the standards would require outside or inside hose demand to be added to the fire sprinkler system calcs at the new connection location? It makes sense to me that it would be your outside hose demand, but I would love to be wrong.

As has been said by others. This is not an FDC and would result in monitoring issues within the building.

This is a first. We recently did a sprinkler system for a 2-story storage building. The owner is now putting storage containers in the back parking lot and the AHJ wants him to add a 2nd FDC on the back of the building, there’s already one on the front, and use it to “supply” fire hoses if there’s a fire outside since there’s not a hydrant in the back…. Tell me I’m crazy.
