aci reference consolidation of concrete w/epoxy coated bars

(OP)
I know that it often recommended that a rubber coated or non-metallic vibrating head be used when consolidating concrete with rebar that is epoxy coated.  Could not find in 309 or 318 an exact requirement for this.  IS there an exact requirement for this?
