While extremely common, many manufacturers suggest against combining the two (FPPI and Argco both state in their product instructions never to combine the product with tape). Most places I've worked used superdope on branch lines, regular dope on drops and armovers (to facilitate removal/rework) and tape on heads. -Mike Morey, SET Sprinkler Designer BMW Constructors, Inc. office: 317-651-0596 mobile: 317-439-2695

Is this an allowable method? What would be the consequences of this method? Thank You Rahe Loftin, P.E.
