It just occurred to me though Douglas (on a smoke break as usual) I would be worried that the existing pipe size is per code, so I would calc it anyway.

Brad -----Original Message----- From: Douglas Hicks [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, August 08, 2014 1:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: copper pipe vs CPVC One of our group homes has leaking copper pipe. The owner told me their experience is to replace the copper with CPVC. I like that, faster and easier for us. But, do I need to get the system re-engineered when changing to CPVC? Can I just replace size for like size? The system is 20+ years old so I am going to propose new sprinklers. Besides, some of the heads are corroded and some have paint on them. We will also provide a means to test the antifreeze, at present there is no way to test the solution. I am going to exclude sheet rock and painting from the job.
