I'm getting a little confused. Are we talking about re-using pipe
that remains in place or has been taken down and someone wants to put back up?

No way would I reuse 25 year old pipe or permit it to be reused on a
project of mine. Per 13 you can't reuse heads that have been removed
either.
If you take down 25 year old pipe it should be scrapped. IMHO I would
not want to sign my name to that warranty. Plus, I would only warranty
that part of the system I touched, never the entire thing.
Guaranteeing someone else's work is risky.
It would be like putting a new engine in your car and then putting the
old oil in it from the previous one that blew up. It might work for a
while but who knows. It isn't worth taking the risk. Do it right the
first time.

Subject: Reuse of existing sprinkler pipe
Dear forum,
What is the consensus about reusing existing sprinkler piping in a 25
year old system. The question here is, what is the typical design for
providing new pipe and sprinklers in some parts of a building but using
the existing pipe for the rest of the system and still warranting the
entire system - existing and new?
What about taking out existing 25 year old pipe and relocating it for
use in another area?
Thank You
