Fire Service Piping Protection

[duckbill]

Is there a requirement to protect fire service piping ahead of a fie pump?
Original plan had the fire pump located in the same room as the fire service water line entry into the building. It was found that the fire pump would not fit in this room and was moved to an adjacent room. Does the fire service water line need protected in this "transition room"?

Well yes and no

If the transition room is part of the rest of the building / attached it has to have fire sprinkler protection any way

Yes, You required a sufficient escape routes out of the building, under its scale and occupancy.

Do you mean protected from getting damaged? Struck by something?
