Thanks Rod, this is a 13 system so the attic needs to be protected. 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. So in the case of the Kitchen for example would you transition to steel for that area and then back to CPVC?

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?
