Yoopersup, No, PVC can not be used in these patient care areas.

There is some confussion on "Outpatient" facilities due to the wording of 517.10(B)(1).

Read all of 517.10, 517.13, and 517.30(C)(3)
for better explanation of why you can not use PVC.

The size of the generator doesn't come in to play here.
