I believe you will still need to comply with the distances set forth in NFPA.

You need to calculate the most hydraulically remote 4 heads. This is typically

I seem to recall that if you have a meter loop on a fire pump, you are still
required to install a pump test header, and do a discharge test every 5 years,
but I can't seem to find it in 20. Is this correct?
