Or will we need to get a variance based on it being "better"? We're working in a clean environment and are probably going to provide socket weld fittings or threaded fittings and back weld them (other than the heads obviously). Socket weld fittings are mentioned, but the only mention of stainless anywhere in the standard is the C factor table. Mike Morey, CFPS, SET Planner Scheduler/Designer BMWC Constructors, Inc. 1740 W.
