Schedule 20 ERW pipes are generally not recommended for fire hydrant systems, especially with a 1250 GPM pump, due to their lower pressure and thickness compared to higher schedule pipes like Schedule 40 or Schedule 80. Fire hydrant systems require robust piping to withstand high pressures and potential impacts. Using Schedule 20 could lead to failures or insufficient flow, compromising the system's effectiveness in fire suppression. It's best to consult local codes and regulations for the appropriate piping specifications.
