Well I don't have a code book in front of me but I don't believe it can be. Because of the pressure rating. Now if the check valve is not at the FDC but inside the building perhaps that's acceptable.
Because when the fire department pumps in to it, I'm not exactly sure, but the pressures should not be that high. But if the check valve is out by the FDC you would have to test that pipe to 200psi. So DR-14 pipe would be required or CPVC. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what I can recall by memory right now.
