I was looking at NFPA 13 - 2019 16.3.2 "when steel pipe referenced in 7.3.1.1 is used... ...minimum nominal wall thickness for pressures up to 300psi shall be in accordance with Schedule 10..."
Does this require that thinner pipe be listed? I was curious if the listed s7/s5 products are any different from plain ASTM A53 pipes.

Keep in mind, NFPA 13 states piping or tubing that meets Table 7.3.1.1 is acceptable. Listing is NOT required. *NFPA 13 - 2019: 7.3.1.1 Pipe or tube shall meet or exceed one of the standards in Table 7.3.1.1 or be in accordance with 7.3.3.* Thus, as long as any piping or tubing material complies with one of the standards listed in Table 7.3.1.1, it is acceptable to use. I have not used much schedule 7 steel pipe in my career. However, I have heard many horror stories with this steel pipe.
