Steve, Both Tyco and Anvil have literature available on this. Apparently their manufacturing processes for gooved fittings meet some level of compliance (silver?)

I am often asked about this and have been thinking about it. The use of extended coverage heads wherever possible would make sense, since that increases branch line spacing and therefore reduces the amount of piping material. Taking the QR/height reduction wherever possible to reduce pipe size also makes sense, but we do that anyways. Anything that uses less construction materials or more environmentally friendly materials is desirable, as well as anything that would use less water over time - such as during routine maintenance. I just can't think of that much we can do. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance, Steve Kowkabany, P.E.
