I was a firefighter/EMT for years and KNEW the value of sprinklered structures. When my wife and I built our first house(and current) , I roughed in the electrical and gas black pipe and even ran innerduct and conduit EVERYWHERE for “the future tech”. We were a week pre-drywall and I had no time left to run steel pipe for residential sprinklers. I refused to use CPVC because I was convinced it would cause leak issues. So, I just installed an addressable smoke/fire detection system and let the sprinkler issue die out. That was 26 years ago and I kick myself every day. BlazeMaster products and other CPVC products were really proven at that time. I SHOULD have done it when the house was framed without insulation and drywall. It was only a few $k to do it but my fear was failure and leaks. STUPID LOGIC! Please install sprinkler systems in residential units!!

Why are there not more integrated plumbing/ fire suppression systems featured for single family homes and manufactured homes/ trailers . Well supplied dwellings in rural settings are potently more critical when water supplies are limited and fire departments are more distant. It would be wonderful to give some attention/guidance to These type of dwellings which are more deadly to occupants than many if not most apartment buildings

thank you
