Sorry for the delay Brian - yes, 8.17.5.1.3 is referring to small hose connections only. But Cliff's comment isn't entirely accurate in that the building code allows for certain conditions where 2 1/2" fire hose valves can be directly connected to a sprinkler system and are not considered to be a standpipe system, nor required to be a separate system in that regard.

You might look there for some guidance.
