Can anyone tell me if BS EN 12845 permits CPVC pipework for OH1 sprinkler systems?
I can see reference to copper and steel but no CPVC reference.
Thanks

Have a look at table TB227.T3 in Technical Bulletin 227.
The simple answer is, yes, you can use CVPC pipework on OH1 systems. ;)

Glad to assist GB
Unfortunately they have to be bought and cannot be obtained electronically, so apologies, cant assist you there.
I can tell you that Plastic Pipe cannot be used in floor or ceiling spaces which are used as ventilation plenums or resevoirs or
in corrosive atmospheres unless agreed with the pipe supplier.
Apart from that you should be fine.
