33、llowing denitions apply. 7.2 FLEXIBLE THERMOPLASTIC PIPE A re sprinkler pipe that has sufficient exibility to achieve directional changes, provided turns are not made with the pipe using a bending radius less than the minimum specied in the installation and design manual. 7.3 MULTIPURPOSE PIPING SYS

34、TEM A piping system within residential occupancies (NFPA 13R), dwellings, and manufactured homes (NFPA 13D), intended to serve both domestic and re protection needs. 7.4 NPS (NOMINAL PIPE SIZE) A dimensionless designator for pipe sizes dened in standards including Standard Specication for Chlorinate

35、d Poly (Vinyl Chloride) (CPVC) Plastic Pipe (SDRPR), ASTM F442/F442M and for PEX it is Standard Specication for Crosslinked Polyethylene (PEX) Hot- and Cold-Water Distribution Systems, ASTM F877 used to replace terms such as “Nominal Diameter” and “Nominal Size.” 7.5 RATED PRESSURE The maximum inter

36、nal water pressure to which the piping is intended to be subjected to in the sprinkler system. 7.6 RATED TEMPERATURE The maximum ambient temperature for which the piping is intended to be exposed for the re sprinkler application. 7.7 THERMOPLASTIC A plastic capable of being repeatedly softened by he
