I would not use galvanized piping for any application unless it was required by the installation standard or was exposed to the elements.

Do you still believe that galvanized piping should be used for most dry systems / dry standpipes? The makers of idod pipe say yes. The makers of nitrogen generators say no. I had always thought that it was better and that in GENERAL galvanized would last longer. Over the last few years it seems like the tide has changed and I have read studies that come to different conclusions. I understand there are many variables but thank you for your thoughts.
