Corrosion resistant piping

hi everyone
I am designing a fire extinguishing system. OE requires that all galvanized pipes must be painted with anti-corrosion paint. Are there any relevant requirements for this from NFPA or ASTM? At the same time, I would like to ask, is there a maximum size limit for grooved pipe fittings or threaded pipe fittings? Because I saw that some projects use grooves for pipes of DN65 and above, and threads for pipes below DN65.
THANKS

Grooved piping is available down to 1" (DN25) in size currently. That is an old spec where pipes 2" (DN50) and smaller were threaded and 2½" (DN65) and larger were grooved. There are no requirements for painting of pipe in NFPA 13 that I am aware of.
 
The anti-corrosion paint may be needed due to the specific environmental or maintenance reasons as OE requests. isn't it?
