Yes. We, as AHJ during system acceptance testing, are finding multiple heads with internal glue obstructions. The heads are (and continue to be on plastic jobs) installed prior to the drop being set into place, with glue subsequently "dripping" down into the head.
Photo examples if you want them, email me direct.

R/ Matt From: Sprinklerforum [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mike Hairfield Sent: Wednesday, July 13, 2016 10:59 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Visual Inspection of CPVC System We recently had a local AHJ require a visual inspection of a CPVC system prior to doing a hydrostatic test. All places where a sprinkler head was installed they made us remove the heads for the inspection. Has anyone ever had this happen to them or am I missing something here? Thanks, Mike
