The number of risers shall be determined by the floor area of the building; they shall be arranged so that all portions of the floor in all stories can be protected by fire hose not more than 100 feet long if the hose valve is located in a properly enclosed stairwell, and 75 feet if not; this length of hose shall extend to within 30 feet of the outside wall if the space is not divided into rooms or into the room farthest from the standpipe to which the hose is connected if the space is so divided. In spaces not subdivided by permanent partitions, allowance shall be made for future intervening furnishings and work station cubicles.
