Yes! Years ago, it wasn't uncommon for contractors to shop-dip sprinklers in 
wax before installing but no more. ALL finishes must be listed and 
factory-applied.

Do they need a UL rating to be certified corrosion resistant? Per NFPA 13 
(6.2.6.1)

Wax coated. Perhaps some of the pvc coated but you would need to check

Does anyone know of a requirement for fire sprinklers to be of a certain type 
or material in harsh coastal environments to prevent corrosion from the salt 
air?
