I don't think you have to include outside hose flow. But, you said this was military. As such, you will most likely have a separate test header with (1) 2.5" hose vale for every 250 gpm system demand. That has at least been my experience. Travis Mack, SET MFP Design, LLC www.mfpdesign.com

System demand + hose allowance?
