Exposed Installation - General (UL & C-UL)
In accordance with the UL and C-UL Listings, TYCO CPVC Pipe and Fittings
may be installed without protection (exposed), subject to the following
additional limitations:
Note: NFPA standards permit the omission of automatic sprinklers in ar-
eas such as small closets and bathrooms. Where sprinklers are not re-
quired, and when approved by the authority having jurisdiction, it is ac-
ceptable to install BLAZEMASTER products exposed in these areas.
Note: Where piping is required to be mounted directly to the ceiling/wall,
the use of listed hangers for thermoplastic sprinkler piping mounted di-
rectly to the ceiling/wall is permitted. The resulting clearance between
the pipe and the ceiling/wall as a function of using the listed hanger is
acceptable.
