I cannot speak for ALL applicable codes. Generally a simple sprinkler riser (with floor control valves) is allowed in the protected stair enclosure assuming that the riser does not encroach on the required egress path.

Yes you can, but its best practice to have water entry in a mechanical room or dedicated water service room.

Class I Standpipe Hose Connections (CI-SHC) are required to be provided, where required (per IBC-2021 905.3.1 through 905.3.8 ), in Interior Exit Stairways (IES) per the scoping Code (e.g. IBC-2021).

NFPA 101 Section 7.1.3.2.1 (10) allows sprinkler piping and standpipes.

What if it is a bulk pipe riser that is not supplying any sprinklers or standpipe associated with the stairwell?
