That section is for fire service mains that would be run aboveground, not interior sprinkler piping. Say a building was built on top of the underground fire main and someone decided to just rise up and run it inside the building and then back down and reconnect to the UG main instead of going around the building and staying underground. That's what that section is dealing with.

Maybe I'm thinking of plastic pipe? Any ideas?
