"So in the case of the Kitchen for example would you transition to steel for that area and then back to CPVC?"
Yes, we do it all the time. I like to arrange the piping to limit the transitions.

I read what I could find on the BlazeMaster sight but didn't see anything about Dry systems, I'll look again I'm sure I missed it.

Check with the engineer of record to see if this system is supposed to be a 13 or 13R. Secondly you can't run over an ordinary hazard room in a light hazard occupancy with cpvc unless the room is 400 ft or less. And lastly CPVC is not listed for a dry system and you can definitely not use it. A read of the blazemaster install and specification manual is highly recommended.

I know that it is listed and approved for light hazard areas which is 90% of the project, what do you do for the other 10%? Do I need to run steel for the Kitchen, Janitor's Closet, and small Storage closet? Also, since this is a wood framed building I need to sprinkle the Attic but since it cannot be used for storage it is light hazard as well, any reason I can't use CPVC for the dry system as well?
