Just a follow up on the heads screwed into the reducers before gluing the
reducer to the cpvc drop nipple.
I'm happy to report that after the FM sent a letter to the owner, and the
owner contacted Big G, they responded within one week and replaced all of
the heads in both buildings. Unfortunately, on another job site their crew
was still installing cpvc drop nipples with the heads in the reducers. They
said there was no way the glue would get into the head with the drops being
3'-0" long. WRONG!!!

Blazemaster Installation Guide

"Warning: Sprinkler heads shall be installed only after ALL the CPVC pipe
and fittings, including the sprinkler head adapters, are solvent welded to
the piping and allowed to cure for a MINIMUM of 30 Minutes. ------"

I hope they learn something when they have to pull all of those heads and
check for glue.
