In the U.S. the fire department connections to sprinkler systems and risers is covered by NFPA 13, which surprisingly enough doesn't include a height requirement. (I suppose that's to allow for a certain amount of flexibility.) Here is what it says...
8.16.2.4.6 - Fire department connections shall be on the street side of buildings and shall be located and arranged so that hose lines can be readily and conveniently attached to the inlets without interference from any nearby objects including buildings, fences, posts, or other fire department connections.

How about if the connections are quadruplets? Is the height taken from the finish grade to the center of the 4 connections or what?

Look at NFPA 14: "at least 18 inches and no more than 48 inches above finished grade". Other codes require "recommended height of 42 inches" or "no less than 18 inches, nor more than 42 inches" (MA building code, 780 CMR 915.0 (2008)).
