The use of reconditioned valves and devices as replacement equipment in existing systems shall be

• A. Shall be permitted
• B. Shall not be permitted
• C. May be permitted with written approval
• D. Prohibited unless factory refurbished

Answer: (A)

Reconditioning valves and devices restores them to their original performance so they can serve as replacements in existing sprinkler systems. When parts are properly reconditioned to the manufacturer’s specifications and tested, they operate as reliably as new components, preserving system integrity while offering cost savings and reduced waste. So, using reconditioned equipment is permitted, provided the reconditioning is done to the required standards and the parts are suitable for the system. The other options would add unnecessary restrictions or approvals that aren’t required in this context.
