I think you are saying FDC, what I heard from the description is wall hydrant.

Matt-
So your saying it's ok to do? There's (2) systems fed off the front Riser so 
the FDC ties in there. What do you do for the "extra" FDC? Tie it off the back 
Main?

Nope. Exterior fire operations are as or more important than internal.

Seen this many times for different applications.

Subject: [Sprinklerforum] 2nd FDC Instead of a Hydrant ???

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.
