5-7* Minimum Pressure for System Design and Sizing of Pipe.

Standpipe systems shall be designed so that the system demand can be supplied by both the attached water supply, where required,
and fire department connections. The authority having jurisdiction shall be consulted regarding the water supply available from a fire
department pumper. (Also see NFPA 1901, Standard for Pumper Fire Apparatus.)
Standpipe systems shall be one of the following:
(a) Hydraulically designed to provide the required waterflow rate at a minimum residual pressure of 100 psi (6.9 bars) at the outlet of
the hydraulically most remote 21/2-in. (63.5-mm) hose connection and 65 psi (4.5 bars) at the outlet of the hydraulically most remote
11/2-in. (38.1-mm) hose station; or
Exception: Where the authority having jurisdiction permits pressures lower than 100 psi (6.9 bars) for 21/2-in. (63.5-mm) hose
connections, based on suppression tactics, the pressure shall be permitted to be reduced to not less than 65 psi (4.5 bars).
