In the past, the AHJ's have only required 250 GPM at the wall hydrant. This would be combined in at the point of connection to a common system point. I think the intent is to provide an outside hose connection for the FDP when it is impractical / impossible to get their pumper truck to this location. Dewayne

Keeping in mind that a wall hydrant - if it's a "real" wall hydrant and part of the site fire flow design - would likely have to discharge 1500 GPM minimum, perhaps more per the Fire Code.

I have only designed them with a dedicated feed but a salesman is questioning this and I could not find anywhere in NFPA to back it up.
