Manifolding multiple systems on a single run-in is common.

Just don't get too crazy.  Depending on the building layout, occupancy and 
other factors, consideration for putting all your eggs in one basket needs to 
compared to costs for multiple run-ins.

In certain buildings while placing all the risers and hose systems on one 
run-in may be permissible,  it is often better to split systems up and have 
run-ins in different locations so that if one system was down, hose lines could 
be pulled from an adjacent system to the impaired area.

Just saying it's good to think about what would happen if everything was in one 
place and an impairment occurred. Can you easily design it minimize impact or 
does cost or logistics out weigh the risks?

Subject: Number of risers

Does NFPA limit the number of risers served by one lead-in?
