to the following criteria taking precedence.
1) Use of plastic pipe and fittings is subject to water authority agreement for the district or territory concerned.
2) LPCB Approved quick response sprinklers shall be used with exposed (i.e. fire exposure) plastic pipe and
fittings.
3) Plastic pipe and fittings are suitable for use only with wet pipe systems.
4) Use of water additives is only permitted in accordance with the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
5) Care should be exercised to ensure that the adhesive joints are adequately cured, in accordance with the

6) Plastic pipe and fittings shall not be installed outdoors.
7) Where plastic pipe and fittings are exposed (i.e. fire exposure), the system shall be installed close to a flat
