Todd- I've always heard if the head wasn't removed from the fitting (the RC) then you can reuse it as you've said. I don't have my hands on the 2010 or 2013 edition right now but I think there is something in there regarding this exact situation though.

The pendant heads are fed on swing joints. My plan is to have them removes the drops (with sprinkler in them) replace the 1" elbow with a tee and re-install the drops. The question came up about replacing the pendant heads. They were not removed from the pipe but the pipe with head was removed from the system. I never thought about this before and can see arguments on both sides. Replace the pendants or not?
