Preaction and dry pipe systems are still considered a closed system similar to a wet system. Deluge on the other hand is a system open to the elements and does require galv. pipe and fittings per NFPA 15.

Is there somewhere it states the pipe and fittings are to be corrosion resistant (ex. Galv.)? I thought somewhere it stated for preact it had to be regardless, but I can't find that either. Maybe I'm pulling an old spec from a project out of my brain as the last two I've done have required galv. piping per the spec book. Bobby Gillett Sr. Project Manager Key Fire Protection, Inc.
