That wouldn't technically be an FDC since an FDC contains a check valve facing the other direction and is used to supplement the sprinkler system, not the other way around. He would need hose valves and a PIV or some other exterior valve. Has he thought about the fact that if the system is monitored and he's fighting a fire outside via some hose valves that he'll get an add'l call from the monitoring company indicating a fire INSIDE the building as well since the flow switch will activate?
