I don't think you have to include outside hose flow. But, you said this was
military. As such, you will most likely have a separate test header with (1)
2.5 hose vale for every 250 gpm system demand. That has at least been my
experience.

We have done quite a few government jobs these past few years, and found that
for the most part the 2 main drain would work just fine. That being said they
don't care. The engineer put it in the specs and on the drawings, so they
think it's written in stone. I think it's a waste of time and
NFPA 13 says to be flow tested at SYSTEM DEMAND. One might want to
use the definition that system demand is Sprinkler flow plus hose
demand but the INTENT is to only add hose demand if there are hose
connections (or a hydrant) downstream. NFPA 25 is much more precise
in their description
Check out NFPA 13, 2007 ed. A.8.17.4.6.1 also.

Hello Jay,
I use a T to a normally closed valve, Like a Fire Pump Test Header setup. IF
I can not get the flow from the main drain, OR if the FDC is connected at the
backflow pit, Use a grooved FDC head, Reverse the check and couple on a head
with the swing clapper removed for the test.
Jay,
Check the archives as this topic has been talked about fairly often and
recently. NFPA 13, 2007 ed. 10.10.2.5.
We always spec a backflow test outlet (male threads) sized to be able to flow
system demand. Contact me if you want more detail.

Jay,
NFPA-13 requires a forward flow test without exception. However NFPA-25
while requiring forward flow tests does contain a number of special
provisions, i.e. bfp size, existing systems, water conservation issues,
etc. Obviously if the system was installed under standards that required
forward
