Keep reading - 7.10.2.2.2 states, "Common supply piping serving multiple
standpipes shall be calculated and sized to provide 100 GPM."

This implies that the procedure is to identify the most remote standpipe
and most remote hose connection on that standpipe and size the supply
side of the system for 100 GPM to that hose station.

The foregoing is my opinion only and is not intended to represent the
Technical Committee on Standpipe Systems, nor serve as an interpretation
of NFPA 14.

Subject: Class II Standpipes

 I've got a dedicated pump feeding a Class II Standpipe system w/ 1 1/2"
hose stations. I need some clarification on how many stations to calc.

>From reading NFPA #14 my first guess would be (2) one at each
standpipe. NFPA #14 7.10.2.2.1  reads, "Hydraulic calculations and pipe
sizes for *each* standpipe shall be based on providing 100 gpm..." But
7.10.2.1.2  states, "Additional flow shall not be required where more
than
one hose connection is provided."

...and then there is 7.10.2.2.2,  "Common supply piping serving multiple
standpipes shall be calculated and sized to provide 100 gpm (379
L/min)."
How does this fit into the scenario?

Thanks,
