Thanks to everyone who replied. It looks like if this were a 13R system, it would be the 56 gpm. But since this is a 13D system, the requirements are unclear.

Thanks, Travis. The fire sprinkler system designer calculated 24gpm for fire plus 5 gpm allowance for domestic for a total of 29 gpm. Our domestic calculations per CPC give us 32 gpm. When we size the meter, do we size for 32 gpm or for 56 (32 + 24) gpm?

Basic question. In California, when sizing a domestic water meter for a single-story, single-family residence with a fire sprinkler system, do you size the meter for the larger of the fire system flow (29 gpm) and the domestic flow (32 gpm), or do you size the meter for the combined flow (61...
