Thank you guys. That answers it. From: J H <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, December 12, 2022 9:02 AM To: Discussion list on issues relating to automatic fire sprinklers <[email protected]> Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Sprinklerforum] Re: Hydraulic Calculations for CPVC - Tees - Straight-through Flow
A little more clarification to Taylor's response: It's only req'd for a 13D system IF you're using the simplified calculation method using only the static pressure. 13D then points you to their charts for friction loss which includes CPVC tees on the run. If you're calculating a 13D system using a *full flow test* then you're pointed to NFPA 13 which does not require tee's on the run as you pointed out. But you wouldn't include these on a 13 or 13R System, I believe it's in the manufacturer's data just in case you do need it.

But some of the manufacturer’s data for CPVC products specifically lists equivalent lengths for these fittings (tee on the run) as well as for couplings. So, are those equivalent lengths intended/required to be included in the hydraulic calculations? If so, is it all the time or only in certain situations? Someone suggested to me that if might be a requirement of 13D or 13R, but not 13. I haven’t found that yet, though.
