The reason is that threaded unions are notoriously prone to leak. I will not use them on anything that can be grooved instead for this reason. I will use them down stream of a drain valve but otherwise try to avoid them. John W.

I have hear that this is a requirement for domestic water piping, but I have never heard about this for fire sprinklers. Does this ring a bell with anyone? Thanks!
