Multiple risers in firefighting (code required)
Multiple risers in firefighting (code required)
(OP)
Why multiple firefighting risers are used in big shopping malls. which code drives this selection.How much is the maximum coverage area for a riser. Or how much maximum sprinklers a riser can feed. For example if I have total 200,000 sq. ft. area to protect. How many risers should I use for a single or double storey building. I need code reference or standard practice.@TravisMack's

You also need to check your fire code for possible standpipe requirements. Covered Malls have standpipe requirements that may come in to play.

RE: Multiple risers in firefighting (code required)
This is a covered mall situation where you are limited to like 9500 SQ FT. per "zone". (2 retail shops max combined).
This results in a LOT of other "System Risers" located throughout.
This is in addition to the System Risers Tmack mentions.
