Need some help decoding and/or point in the right direction for steel pipe schedule for sprinkler systems per NFPA 13. I'm looking in NFPA 13 (2022 edition) and I can't find any section that talks about when/if Im allowed Schedule 10 piping?
These are the 2 questions I'm trying to find answers to in FNPA 13:
1) For a double interlock pre-action system (charged with Nitrogen) using black steel pipe - are Schedule 10 piping allowed or does it have to be Schedule 40? Or does it depend on the pipe size and/or pressure
2) For a regular wet pipe system (using black steel pipe) - is Schedule 10 pipe allowed? or does it depend on the pipe size and/or pressure
I assumed it would be Chapter 7 (Requirements for System Components and Hardware) section 7.3 for above ground pipe or Chapter 8 (Preaction system and Deluge systems) but I can't find anything specific.
