Not a code requirement - some jurisdictions require it in an effort to show that the coupon has been retrieved. But who is to say you didn't pick one up off the floor and hang it on the pipe?

It makes the AHJ have warm fuzzy that the sprinkler contractor is doing everything correctly and makes the contractor liable if they did not.

Agreed, some AHJ's get a warm and fuzzy.

In the welding section of the Contractor’s Material and Test Certificate for Aboveground Piping, the contractor has a section to check if they have a procedure for verifying if discs were retrieved. Leave a Reply. |
