"Protecting Science - One Sprinkler at a Time" -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2012 9:58 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Standpipe FDC Inlets How many of you put a 4 way FDC on every 1000 gpm standpipe system or a 5 way on parking garage without sprinklers and 4 or more standpipes? I have seen many buildings with two standpipes and a 2 way FDC. 2007, NFPA 14, 7.12.3 states: Fire Department Connection sizes shall be based on the standpipe system demand and shall include one 2½ in. inlet per every 250 GPM. Phoenix at one time required one inlet per 250 gpm on sprinkler systems until we did a tire warehouse and needed a 14 inlet FDC.
