Brad, Bottom line, it's a performance issue focused on the local fire service who is the intended user of Class I standpipes. The sooner we get away from prescription the better.

I have a better idea of what to think about 2.5" hose valves located at ground level (or 1 or 2 floors above or below) now. I think it would be amusing if they were the pressure reducing type.
