Any reason CPVC can not be used on drain, bell and iinspector's test?

[SprinklerDesigner2]

Inspecting a warehouse system I found where the installing contractor was using CPVC downstream the inspector's test valve, downstream the 2" main drain angle valve and on the 3/4" supply from the alarm check valve to water motor gong.

Seemed strange to me but I can't find anything wrong with it. Not the way I do things but is there something I am missing?

Travis,

I have an ESFR system right now that if I sold for $4.66/ft I would be able to retire but wouldn't because this is all so much fun!

We got a second ESFR system that we sold for $0.73/ft and while we won't make a killing we will make a profit as long as everyone does their job. There's another I bid at $0.64/ft but I am waiting to see if we have that one. $0.64 factoring inflation is $0.49 in 2000. Who could have guessed in 2000 we would see ESFR systems for less than half a buck 10 years into the future? Ten years ago I would have said "no way" but here we are.

A company has to evolve with the technology and embrace it or die.

It is crazy what the pricing has become to get work lately.
