Re: Exterior Installation of Fire Sprinkler Heads
Nick,

I have found many of these systems (in this area) to be charged. The system is filled with Glycol or Glycerine dependent upon the type of Piping used.

If the Pipe is Blazemaster CPVC (or any type of CPVC) defer it for further review.

There was a problem with many of the Communities in this area using Glycol in CPVC Systems causing Failure of the CPVC Piping.
