Stainless Steel Pipe 1

[GaDawg]

Does anyone know of any specific plumbing codes that specify stainless steel pipe material grades permissible for potable water? I'm mainly interested in codes for use in cold water applications and limitations that may apply.

Thanks.

Be sure to passivate - see if you can get water chemistry test results from the water dept [chlorides etc.]
