The polycoated also works well in this instance if color or appearance is an
issue. The original question came from a test question someone had on a
licensing ordeal. We had never heard of a wax coated res. And were just
curious to see what might be out there.

Subject: Re: Wax Coated Residential

We have used wax coated QR heads in residential applications, such as Indoor

pools, Spa's and Sauna's. The AHJ is always very understanding that the 
spray and intent of QR is different than Res. listed, but they have always 
allowed them because they would rather have a low maint. sprinkler in some 
areas, than a system that was turned off by the owner for "leaks" rust drips

or other aesthetic reasons. Also in the case of the Sauna's, there are no 
Res. heads that can take the heat. We typically use a 350'F heads.
