Strange new construction condo/townhouse has two, count 'em, two copper water service lines in the basement. I'm waiting for the condo association to return my call.

I disclaim fire suppression systems, but, just a thought - is PEX acceptable for such a system?

John,

I know you also wrote up all that improperly supported PEX going to the manifold.

I'm not sure that blue PEX is listed for sprinkler use, thought it was not??
