IF my old brain remembers it was a requirement for dry pipe systems to use Galvanized Pipe, But were allowed to use black iron fittings. I am unable to find that in the 2007 edition of 13, Am I dreaming, or was it deleted, or where is it now? -- Best regards, Charles Thurston CET Coastal Fire Protection mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ 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) _______________________________________________ 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)
