Just curious - what prevents pitching in the basement? Could it be pitched to several auxiliary drains?

Several of these are heated only for the sprinkler system. One particular building is two level with a main floor and basement. The pipe cannot be pitched in the basement but can on the main. A suggestion was floated to do antifreeze in the basement and dry above. George's point about refilling the antifreeze after the dry system trips is a very good one. My other concern was chemical compatibility between the antifreeze and the seals on the dry valve. My personal take us if they leave the basement wet with maintenance heat and do the dry above is the most cost effective. The reason it was suggested was to decrease the amount of antifreeze solution required. Good points, all. Keep em coming.
