Inspection Insights: CPVC Advantages Over Steel

Written by Sean Pearce | Jun 30, 2020 12:39:00 PM

I recently had the opportunity to talk with Drew Slocum, Co-Founder of Inspect Point, a company that offers a mobile app to streamline fire and life-safety inspections. Drew is an industry veteran who helped start Inspect Point several years ago after working with key CPVC manufacturers Tyco and Viking.

In the videotaped discussion above, we covered a variety of topics including:

  • Do current NFPA 25 and NFPA 13 regulations adequately address the corrosion issues with steel piping compared with BlazeMaster® CPVC?
  • What are long-term inspection, testing and maintenance issues in choosing materials for a fire protection system?
  • How does a digital inspection tool such as Inspect Point improve the inspection process for contractors and end users?

A special thanks to Drew for making the time to share his insights.
