If all he's checking is magnitude differences changing prices shouldn't have that much effect. Sprinkler pipe has gone up several times already this year. And yes expecting more. Pipe and the scrape steel it's made from is a world market and China didn't go into recession just dropped back to big growth from ridiculous growth. Usually it is a straight across the line % increase. But you can find differences to that rule in 6" and 8" so if you are comparing those you might want to get more frequent pricing.
Tyco's website has the list price book for just about all you might need except the pipe. Local pricing is probably better for the piping. Chris Cahill, P.E.

Reason: dramatic increase in raw materials. That could make most current pricing info obsolete.
