NFPA 14 requires "an additional 2 1/2" hose connection" at the highest landing (if stairs go up to the roof) or at the roof, at the hydraulically most remote standpipe riser to facilitate testing of the system. I've never seen an additional hose connection being provided. I've been told by contractors that the hose connection at the highest floor level can be used for this purpose, which would be a difficult task as most buildings don't have access to the roof.
What is the normal practice out there?
