Would zinc plated/galvanized work if they painted the hangers with the pipe?

Can some offer places to get stainless beam clamps and hanger rings? Bobby Gillett Sr. Project Manager Key Fire Protection, Inc.

You didn't say if this was at a school or hotel or aquatic park or what the conditions were. That makes a difference. It could be an A-3 or A-4 occupancy, hard to tell since the particulars weren't given. See IBC 2006 903.2.1.3 for A-3 and 903.2.1.4 for A-4 occupancy fire protection requirements. There are a few other questions needing answers before anyone can say yes or no to sprinklers. But the environment isn't a player in the decision. We've had corrosive environments where the sprinklers and piping and all appurtenances had to be Stainless. Expensive yes, but there was no other material that would survive. Craig L.

Can you please provide feedback so I can provide him with the best response? "We have a job that includes an inclosed, indoor chlorine swimming pool. The space is about 12000 sq ft of a 50,000 sq ft total building. The architect and fire marshal are recommending we omit the sprinklers in the pool area but we are leery of that. What has your experience been with exposed sprinklers in such an environment? I cannot use plastic piping since there is no ceiling. Any suggestions?
