Sorry, just trying to add something that may be of some use. My intention was to inform him that there are a few things to consider when using CPVC which may give him reason to look at the design manual. The info I gave was just an example. I'll be sure to remember to run all my post through you in the future and limit my use of this forum to asking questions only.
My apologies to you and the rest of the forum members.

Rich doesn't mention the distance of the riser from a wall, the location of heads relative to the riser, nor whether any pipe is exposed or not, only that the FDC run is dry. Where did your concerns come from? I only bring this up because I've noticed issues becoming muddled on the Forum when information not presented in the question is added from out of thin air. This is like the obverse of the unnecessary information that clutters up those infamous word questions in math (like the color and make of the car leaving Chicago at 2 PM in a westerly direction at 45 mph with a low tire--What color is the bear?) Not that you're the only one that does this but this time I wanted to comment. And by the way: A bear travels due south for sixteen miles. Turns left and travels due east for four miles. Turns left again and travels another sixteen miles due north. After several hours he arrives at the place he departed from. What color is the bear?

A CPVC riser (and associated pipes) has to be within 2" of the wall and a sprinkler has to be installed no farther than 12" from the riser. CPVC can only be ran exposed by adhering to strick guidelines contained in the design guide of the manufacturer. Your exposed run of pipe doesn't meet those requirements. You really need to involve the manufacturer or distributor. > > Russell > > > > >>We are reviewing a proposal for a wet pipe sprinkler system using CPVC pipe.
