  10.1 All systems should be arranged to be capable of being drained.

  10.2 All pendent sprinklers except those in wet pipe systems should be of the dry pendent type to prevent the admission of debris, corrosion and seawater into the pendent drop.

  10.3 Those lengths of pipe that cannot be made self draining should be constructed of materials that do not exhibit corrosion during long-term exposure to seawater. Sprinklers in these areas should not be made of brass or other materials subject to corrosion or dezincification.

  10.4 All portions of systems subject to freezing should be self draining or filled with a antifreeze solution.
