Forum,
Recently at one our CCFPA (Central Coast Fire Protection Association) meetings, a CPVC manufacturer representative indicated to the attending Fire Chiefs (AHJ's) that the one step cement will weaken the pipe and fitting surfaces. The day after this meeting, at one our residential projects, we were told by an inspector that the residual CPVC cement that was left on the surface of the pipe and fittings was not acceptable and we were told to remove the affected pipe and fittings. This residual cement was from gloves or hands or inadvertent contact from the cement dauber during the course of install. How can incidental surface contact with the cement be that severe to necessitate removal? Has anyone encountered this? We will be seeking a formal interpretation from the manufacturer so that we can submit to the AHJ. Thanks, Ed Cyr Alpha Fire Sprinkler Corp. _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field)
