Dapr,
The Installation Guidelines of the CPVC will give you the criteria for 
installing CPVC exposed rather than 13R.

Subject: [Sprinklerforum] NFPA 13R residential system - Exposed CPVC

A multi-family fit up project will have existing to remain upper floor and new 
first floor apt. units. Currently the building is not sprinkled and will have a 
new sprinkler system.

The contractor wants to run the new sprinkler pipe exposed using CPVC in the 
existing upper level units.

NFPA 13R doesn't seem to prohibit this as Table 5.2.1 does include CPVC (ASTM 
F442/F442M).

I'd like to get your thoughts on this and see if you've come across it.

Thanks
