AJ,

NFPA 13D, 2025 EditionA.6.5.2

The 5 gpm (20 L/min) provision is intended to be per connection and not per
dwelling unit. A townhouse with more than two dwelling units fed by a
common water connection would only require 5 gpm (20 L/min) to be added to
size the common piping.


Does this answer your question?
