I think applying ABF pipe to that allowance is a step too far. ABF is a microbial coating to address MIC. I haven't heard anyone identifying it as a basic corrosion inhibitor. Also it has a finite life span.

Matt,

I believe a product such as Allied's ABF coated pipe would meet the intent as corrosion resistant therefore being an alternative to galvanized. Since galvanized pipe is starting to fall out of favor, this will probably be
used more often to satisfy that particular code section.
