You have to know the size of the fire hose. Fire hoses are sized from 1 - 1/2 to 6 inches.

Interior hose connections are 1.5" and 2.5" depending on the type of standpipe connection. Look at building code and NFPA 14 for guidance.

For fire suppression questions, there is a NFPA (fire) Code forum.
 
thank you all for your help , but i'm asking about for more than 2 fire hose reel cabinets OF 1.5" HOSE
 
A lot of this will depend on what pressure you have and what pressure drop the design can sustain. Also, there is the length of pipe upstream. If there is a lot of upstream pipe, the cost vs. pressure drop analysis has to be done.
