Lets start the clarification by saying that this is not about hangar spacing but the unsupported length from the hangar to the last sprinkler. Your ending question is a pretty good clue. It also helps that 9.2.3.4.3.1 says "applied other than through the fire dept connection". Are you working at 3 AM again?

NFPA 13 (2002) section 9.2.3.4.3 discusses hanger spacing deviations for piping with maximum pressure exceeding 100 psi as being different from spacing with pressures less than that. If the fire department hooks up to the FDC with 150 psi pressure, would that be the valve used for determining the maximum pressure? If that is the case, when would the lesser value be used?
