I'm not too terribly clear on how some sort of thrust block is needed,
unless it were at either end of the line. This fitting is a "flow
though" device, with no change of direction.
Is the manufacturer telling us that once the line is put under pressure
that the fitting can be pushed apart?
Aren't the nearest changes in direction, presuming the entire line is
CPVC, assembled using solvent welded joints, which by definition are
restrained joints?
This note on their cut sheet really baffles me.

You would have to get creative on the thrust block, unistrut, 90 the end of
line to get a hanger to keep the line from pushing apart, if you already had
armovers or a line that jogged you should be ok.

I found their spec sheet - thanks. Those will work for the 1" but unfortunately I
need something in 1 1/4" as well. I see they require a thrust block - any idea what
that would consist of?

FlameGuard GripLoc coupling but only in 3/4 and 1". It is a repair
coupling, no glue needed.

Subject: cpvc sharkbite style fittings?
Hello all,
I had someone tell me there are shark-bite style fittings out there
that are listed for fire sprinkler use. I've been searching but have
failed to find any. We have a need for fittings that can be utilized
immediately without having to wait for glue to cure.
Any direction is appreciated.
Thanks,
Tony
