Tom, Not sure what state you are in but if your state utilizes the International Fire Code there is a procedure to follow 2006 IFC 901.7.

Or more importantly, what approach do you take with regard to impairments to the remainder of the occupants and the building? After explaining why you (not you but all) wait 24 hrs. and the other guy doesn't, and even showing why, assuming they decide to go with you, do you have a written impairment plan to follow? How do you handle FD concerns? I'm there right now and wondering. TD I ALWAYS use the 24 hour cure time and maybe longer, depending on temperature and humidity. 24 hours are required by some of the insurance companies. It is a helpful way to mitigate water damage. We observe them. Owner must provide fire watch.., as required by 101. When you look in whichever flavor of CPVC manual you have, be aware of the temps this time of year. If I am remembering correctly, there is a temp and size that you are not allowed to glue at all until the temp in the room is at that level.
