Depends on the AHj interp. One AHJ says C900 ok to OS&y other says below grade, and third say 5' outside of building. Who's right only a formal from committee will answer that. (I think the 5' outside of building is actually a mis-application of the I codes which is where the building code /plumbing code ends and civil/site work begins.)

I once spent several hours on U/L and FM listing sites looking for class 51 or 52 listing for above ground and never found one. Thom McMahon, SET Firetech, Inc. 2560 Copper Ridge Dr P.O.

I believe c-900 is listed for underground use. and not listed for above ground or exposed installation. CPVC is listed for underground as well as exposed use.
