If two valves were closed obviously it would be a problem, but I'm not really sure the intent of 903.4 is that every valve on any fire main of any kind must be electronically monitored when they don't directly feed a sprinkler system. As far as I can tell the campus loop should be governed under chapter 5 which defers to NFPA 24. Specifically: 507.2.1 Private fire service mains. Private fire service mains and appurtenances shall be installed in accordance with NFPA 24. But several people involved are saying "but IBC just says tamper all the valves" (because chapter 5 from the IFC doesn't exist in IBC and they feel that IBC trumps IFC somehow on the subject, I believe the discrepancy arises because IBC only governs buildings and has no need to address outside fire main systems), I'm trying to see if there shouldn't be a distinction based on the "Private fire service main" and if so exactly what does or does not constitute a private fire service main, the NFPA 24 definition actually includes all the pipe to the base of the riser which is the only definition I could come up with.
