I too am curious about this. I have seen 20,000 ft² stacked 20' high on both
sides of a warehouse with a single aisle in the middle for a forklift.

I would think you could subtract the sprinkler demand x required duration from
the lowest expected capacity of the tank and use the height of the remaining
water column as your supply. The tank would also probably need an automatic
fill. I have no codes to back this up, but logic says it should
You may have to put an adapter on a standard Storz connection.

It's a shame that full scale fire testing is cost prohibitive. I would really
like to see what would actually happen with some of the worst case scenarios we
bring up.

We have been told by one jurisdiction that we must support the flex so that it
does not rest on the ceiling. I haven't seen anything to back that up either,
but was easier to comply than to argue.

Lawyers will argue whatever they think will keep their client, the insurance
company, from having to pay out a large sum. Doesn't matter what it pertains
too. After a fire they will call in everyone associated with the building,
including the cleaning lady that comes in every other Sunday.
Luis,
Please provide some additional information, so that your question can be
properly answered.
1. Where is this pump being installed.
2. Who is the AHJ.
3. What codes/standards have been adopted that you are basing your
installation on.

I have an old cutout from an AFSA Tech Talk... from August 1992 that gives a
pipe length formula.
A/6 x B = Length of pipe that can be installed in open web bar joist.
A = Depth of bar joists (expressed in inches)
B = Distance between bar joists (expressed in feet)
It is a general formula

While it seems trivial to us who deal with it for a living, imagine the
building caught fire and there were fire/smoke/water damages. I bet an
insurance company lawyer could convince others that if the existing dry pipe
valve was modified, there is no way of telling what else “didn’t meet code”
