Ferrous sprinkler material and hospital MRI rooms
Ferrous sprinkler material and hospital MRI rooms
(OP)
For all the hospital additions I've laid out this is the my first MRI room.
Everywhere I've looked the material can not be ferrous. Good enough.
Heads are brass. Pipe can be copper or CPVC, appears I will have to order special escutcheons but what about hangers, specifically rod, attachment and rings?
I do have specs but nothing on sprinklers. It's just a build out in an existing shell space.
Anyone else have experience with this?

The lining is to prevent electrolysis.

Stainless does the trick, and electrolysis is a problem...

These are also a bit more pricey than your standard heads, about $100 each.

Great help, thank you both for the heads up.

Seems safest if I go with copper.
