I don't recall what they used for hangers. The job was done 22 years ago +/-, so I don't remember all the details. My boss at the time handled the negotiations and everybody signed off on it (Ins co, AHJ, etc.). As I recall there was an issue with stainless but I really don't remember what. It may have been cost plus other stainless components were deteriorating in there also. They used to make velvet in the mill and this was an area with an acid bath or something similar.
The mill is near my house and has been closed as manufacturing for a while. It is now storage/workshop/offices and the CPVC pipe is still in there.
