SEISMIC RESTRAINTS

Multi-Directional Bracing For Electrical Conduit,


Cable Tray And Mechanical Piping Systems

SYSTEMS THAT MAKE SENSE

INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
What is Seismic Bracing?
Seismic forces are exerted on a building and its contents during an earthquake. These forces act
horizontally upon the structure itself, as well as the piping, cable trays, ductwork, and other building
systems within. Typical supports for piping, trays, and other equipment are designed for the gravity,
or vertical, loads but do not take into account the horizontal loading caused by earthquakes. Seismic
restraints (i.e. braces) resist the horizontal forces and keep the systems in place and secure. The main
purpose of seismic bracing is safety- to minimize the loss of life due to an earthquake.
Seismic Bracing Requirements
The rules and requirements for the seismic restraints are published in the model building codes: The
Uniform Building Code (Inter national Conference of Building Officials), National Building Code
(Building O fficials and Code Administrators), Standard Building Code (Southern Building Code
Congress International), and the International Building Code. Each code is similar in nature, and has a
chapter on structural forces which defines the level of seismic force that must be used in the design of
seismic restraints.
The amount of seismic force (as determined by the building code) is given as a percent of the
components weight, or g-force. If the horizontal force is determined to be 50 percent of the piping
weight, for example, the seismic force is .5g.
The seismic "g-value" can vary greatly depending on the nature of the project. Critical buildings in a
high seismic zone have larger g-value requirements than warehouses in zone 1.
Factors that govern the seismic g-values used for design:
Seismic Zone
Soil Type
Building Type
Distance from known faults
Elevation within building
Anchorage Type
System being braced
The design professional should use these factors and the applicable building code requirements to
determine the proper g-values to be used for the project.
This manual has been developed under the requirements of the 2001 California Building Code,
and contains seismic bracing details that can be used for seismic bracing projects up to 1.0g (ASD) or
1.4g. The brace spacing charts, required details, and rod loads must be determined for the specific
g-value for the project and shall be submitted to the engineer of record prior to construction. The
determination of the seismic force level shall also be submitted to the engineer of record and to
OSHPD for hospital projects in the state of California prior to construction. However, the seismic
force level need not be submitted to the engineer of record or OSHPD if included in the original
construction documents. This brochure contains charts for a variety of g values, however custom charts
can be created to reflect different g-values as required for the project. Contact B-Line Engineering at
618-654-2184 with your requirements.
A copy of the complete Seismic Restraints Manual shall be on the jobsite for the duration of the
project. Appropriate shop drawings signed/stamped by the architect or engineer of record must also
be kept. OSHPD reserves the right to review these upon request.

GENERAL INFORMATION

B-LINE SEISMIC RESTRAINT SYSTEMS are designed to resist seismic loading while minimizing
installation time and providing superior performance. On the following pages, several methods of seismic
bracing are illustrated. The choice of brace design should be governed by the system requirements and location
of supports.
Actual applications may vary and are not strictly limited to the combinations of fittings and supports shown.
Any changes to the depicted designs should be in accordance with standard engineering practices and be
approved by OSHPD (California Office of Statewide Health Planning & Development) if necessary.
For additional information on hangers, channels, fittings, and hardware shown, see the latest B-Line Strut
Systems Catalog or Pipe Hangers and Supports Catalog.
Seismic restraints are designed to resist the horizontal seismic force in two primary directions: Transverse
(perpendicular) and Longitudinal (parallel) to the run. The braces are attached to the building with a structure
attachment (for concrete, steel, wood, etc.) of various anchor sizes. Typically, the stronger the structure
attachment, the greater the brace spacing allowed.

The following steps detail how to use the brochure:


Step 1: Select the bracing details for single pipe hangers or trapeze supports.
Step 2: Obtain required force level (%g) from applicable code for local jurisdiction or from the structural
engineer of record.
Example: 2001 California Building Code
As defined in the 2001 California Building Code, Chapter 16A, Section 1632A, the seismic horizontal
force, Fp, may be calculated using the following formula:
Fp =

apCaIp
h
(1 + 3 x )Wp
Rp
hr

Except that: Fp shall not be less than 0.7 Ca Ip Wp and need not be more than 4 Ca Ip Wp.
Where:
Fp = Seismic Force Level
ap = Amplification Factor (Table 16A-O)
Rp = Component Response Modification Factor (Table 16A-O)
= 3.0 for electrical, mechanical and plumbing equipment and associated
conduit, ductwork and piping utilizing deeply embedded anchors. (Table 16A-O)
= 1.5 for installations using concrete anchors with an embedment-to-diameter
ratio less than 8.
i.e. a 1/2" diameter concrete anchor with an embedment of less than 4" inches.

Note: hx shall not be taken less than 0.0
hr = Structure Roof Elevation with respect to grade.
Special Note: This manual is based on allowable stress design (ASD), where as the seismic force level
(%g or Fp) for non-structural components provided in building codes are based on strength design. For
use in this manual, the seismic force levels (Fp) from the building code are converted to allowable stress
design by dividing the result by 1.4.
Example: If the building code yields, (Fp) = 1.4g, this value is converted to allowable stress design (ASD)
as used in this catalog as follows: Fp=1.4g/1.4=1.0 g

Special Note: A table for .36g (ASD) is not available in this catalog. When seismic force levels (%g or
Fp) falls between catalog table values (i.e.: .15g, .30g, .45g, etc.) the seismic force level shall be
rounded up to the next highest cataloged force level.
Example: If Fp = .36g (ASD), then use catalog tables for .45g (ASD).

Example Two, Shallow Embedded Anchors:


Special Note: Installations using concrete anchors installed with an embedment length-to-diameter
ratio of less than 8, also referred to as shallow embedment anchors, have an adjusted Component
Response Factor. The adjusted factor Rp = 1.5.

c) Check the required spacing for transverse bracing (Appendixes 1 & 2) and compare it to the
length of the straight run. If the length of the straight run is greater than the allowable distance
for transverse bracing add transverse braces until the spacing does not exceed the allowable
transverse brace distance.

GENERAL INFORMATION
e) In many cases, several short runs occur one after the other. Based on previous requirements,
each straight run requires a longitudinal brace when the adjacent short runs exceed the maximum
offset length (ft.). When the adjacent short runs do not exceed the maximum offset length (ft.) the
longitudinal braces can act as transverse braces as long as the allowable transverse brace spacing
(Appendixes 1 & 2) is not exceeded.
In the following layout, transverse braces are used as longitudinal braces when the straight runs
are less than the maximum offset length (ft.). When a straight run exceeds the maximum offset
length (ft.) additional braces are required.

Step 4: Note the structure connection type (brace anchor requirements) from the Appendix,
and select the brace anchorage detail to suit (pages 23 thru 38).
Step 5: Note the hanger rod load from the Appendix, and select a rod attachment to structure
to suit (pages 39 thru 56).
Step 6: Check if rod stiffeners are required (pages 57 & 58) to prevent the hanger rod from
buckling.

Seismic restraints may typically be omitted for the following conditions where
flexible connectors are provided between components and the associated
ductwork, piping, and conduit:
1. Fuel, medical gas, and vacuum piping less than 1 inch (25 mm) inside diameter.
2. All other piping less than 21/2 inches (64 mm) diameter, or:
All piping suspended by individual hangers 12 inches (305 mm) or less in length from the top
of the pipe to the bottom of the structural support for the hanger
All electrical conduit less than 21/2 inches (64 mm) trade size
3. All rectangular air-handling ducts less than 6 ft2 (0.56 m2) in cross sectional area or:
All round air-handling ducts less than 28 inches (711 mm) in diameter
All ducts suspended by hangers 12 inches (305 mm) or less from the top of the duct to the
bottom of the structural support for the hanger; where the hangers are detailed to avoid
bending of the hangers and their connections. (To eliminate bending moment, flexible
connections may be used. See B752 on page 49 or B446 & B446C on page 56)
Where lateral restraints are omitted, the piping, ducts, or conduit shall be installed such that lateral
motion of the piping, duct, or conduit will not cause damaging impact with other systems or
structural members, or loss of vertical support.
NOTE: Reference building code enforced by local authority with jurisdiction for specific
requirements, and verify all omissions or exemptions with structural engineer of record.

GENERAL NOTES FOR SEISMIC BRACING

GENERAL NOTES FOR SEISMIC BRACING


A) The seismic restraint assemblies shown in this pre-approval document are designed to resist
vertical loading simultaneously with seismic loading (transverse & longitudinal loading). Design
recommendations shown are for single standard weight steel pipes filled with water. Contents
other than water shall be evaluated by the user. Pipes of other approved materials shall be
supported in accordance with their approved installation standards. Details not shown in this
pre-approval shall be submitted to OSHPD for approval before installation if necessary.
B) This bracing system is limited to the pipe sizes and support details shown. Special
consideration must be given for pipe material and connections, insulation, thermal movement,
vibration, and building seismic joints.
C) Transverse and longitudinal braces shall be no more than 45 above or below the centerline of
the pipe, duct, or tray.
D) All channel and pipe clamp nuts and bolts shall be tightened to the following torques:
1/4"-20 to 6 ft.-lbs. (8 Nm)
3/8"-16 to 19 ft.-lbs. (26 Nm)
1/2"-13 to 50 ft.-lbs. (68 Nm)
5/8"-11 to 65 ft.-lbs. (88 Nm)
3/4"-10 to 75 ft.-lbs. (101 Nm)
E) The transverse and longitudinal bracing spacing listed in Appendix 1 & 2 is based on ductile
piping (steel, copper, etc.) with ductile connections (welded, brazed, etc.) and has the following
limitations:
1) Transverse bracing shall not exceed 40-0 (12.2 m).
Longitudinal bracing shall not exceed 80-0 (24.4 m).
2) Fuel piping shall have transverse bracing 20'-0" (6.1 m) o.c. maximum and
longitudinal bracing 40'-0" (12.2 m) o.c. maximum.
3) Non-ductile piping, and piping with non-ductile connections shall have transverse
bracing 20'-0" (6.1 m) o.c. maximum and longitudinal bracing 40'-0" (12.2 m) o.c.
maximum or 1/2 of the calculated brace spacing indicated in Appendix 1 or 2,
whichever is more restrictive.
F)

Transverse bracing for one pipe section may also act as longitudinal bracing for the pipe
section connected to it, if the bracing is installed within 24 inches (609 mm) of the elbow or tee
of similar size. Figures 2 and 4 do not serve as adequate longitudinal braces.

GENERAL NOTES FOR SEISMIC BRACING


G) Branch lines of a smaller diameter shall not be used to brace main lines.
H) Where rod stiffeners are required a minimum of two hanger rod stiffener assemblies shall be
installed. (Part number SC-228 or SC-UB)
I)

It is important to check anchorage details against the applicable building code requirements.
Seismic design forces may increase substantially when anchors are considered shallow
(embedded less than 8 times the anchor diameter).

J)

When bracing trapeze type hangers, the bracing shall be attached directly to the trapeze hanger
assembly and piping secured to the trapeze assembly with pipe straps.

K) A rigid piping system shall not be braced to diff e rent parts of a building that may respond
differently during an earthquake. Example: Solid concrete wall and a roof (metal deck filled with
lightweight concrete). Special care should be taken to avoid bracing rigid pipe on both sides of
a building seismic joint without allowing for pipe and building movement.
L) The pre-approval document is based on British Units (Inches & Pounds) and values noted in
parenthesis (Metric or S.I. Units) are equivalent values. In case of conflicts, British Units will be
the standards for evaluating the proper application of pre-approvals.
M) The designer of the structure shall determine the adequacy of the support structure to carry the
load of the piping and equipment. Engineer of record for a site specific project shall verify that
the structure can support the connection loads of the hanger rod and the bracing attachments
in addition to all other loads. This pre-approval document is not intended for the seismic design
of the piping itself. The dynamic properties of the building structure and piping should be
considered when selecting the type of piping to be installed.
N) Seismic bracing shall not limit the expansion and contraction of the piping system. Always
consider thermal movements when selecting brace locations and materials. The design for
thermal movements is beyond the scope of OSHPD pre-approval.
P) No portion of this pre-approval shall be taken out of context and used in other systems,
design or purpose.
Q) On transverse bracing, the pipe insulation material may be part of the brace assembly (i.e) in
the load path. In this case the insulating material shall be capable of withstanding the lateral
forces without damage and shall include a pipe shield for hangers or a pipe saddle for rollers.
For longitudinal bracing, clamping must be applied directly to the pipe with any insulation
being installed directly over the hanger and brace assembly. In these applications the
mechanical engineer of record shall be contacted for insulating recommendations.

*Slotted channel (SH) versions of all the above types may also be used for brace members.
See page 21 for channel details.
**The Structure Connection Type is the brace anchorage requirement.
See pages 23 - 38 for brace attachment details.
Note: Do not exceed the maximum brace length or maximum structure connection
type for the channels listed.

Commentary:
Appendix 1 & 2 list the allowable structure connection type (I, II, III, IV, or V) for each brace spacing listed. The
structure connection type limits the amount of axial load (in tension or compression) which is applied to the
brace member. The axial load is listed for each structure connection detail on pages 23 - 38, and is as follows:

TRAPEZE BRACING
Trapeze Assembly Bracing
1). Layout piping and/or conduit runs and determine number, size and location of items to be supported by
the trapeze
2). Determine trapeze support spacing (LT). This is usually determined by the maximum support spacing of
the smallest pipe or conduit on the trapeze.
3). Select trapeze supports.
a). Determine the total vertical load (TL) for each trapeze.
TL = LT x WT
TL = Total vertical load for each trapeze support (lbs.)
LT = Trapeze support spacing (ft.)
WT = Weight of all piping, cable tray, ductwork, conduit, etc. in lbs./ft. supported by the trapeze
b). Determine length of trapeze, making sure sufficient length is added to attach the all threaded rod and
bracing attachments. All channel nuts shall be fully engaged within strut.
(13/16 (20mm) minimum distance from edge of strut to center line of bolt.)
c). Select type of trapeze member (B22, B22AMIG, etc.) by selecting a member with loading greater
than the total load (TL). See Table 4 on page 22 for strut loading data, noting that the trapeze beam
span is the distance between the hanger rods. Also determine whether the applied load is uniform or
concentrated, and follow notes on page 22 accordingly. Variations in pipe sizes (simular to concentrated
load assembly on page 22) shall be treated as a concentrated load, where as same sized pipes evenly
distributed across the span (similar to uniform load assembly on page 22) may be treated as a uniform
load. Uniform loads on page 22 are converted to a concentrated load by a 50% reduction. Do not
exceed the beam span length given by Table 4A on page 22, which limits overloading due to
longitudinal seismic force.
d). Determine hanger rod size from Appendix 2 based on total weight (WT) and trapeze support spacing
(LT). Rod sizes are given for trapeze supports with braces attached and unbraced trapezes.
e). Select a hanger rod connection to structure (pages 39 thru 56) that is greater than the hanger rod loads
listed in Appendix 2.
4). Select transverse and longitudinal bracing.
a). Select bracing detail from Figures 9 - 11.
b). Determine spacing of transverse / longitudinal bracing from Appendix 2 based on total weight (Wt)
and the trapeze support span (Lt). Note the corresponding structure attachment type (Roman numeral
I - V) for each possible brace interval. When supporting multiple pipe sizes, do not exceed the
maximum spacing for the smallest pipe as given in Appendix 1.
Verify that the specific forces do not exceed the capacity of the pipe clamps on pages 70 & 71.
Take care not to exceed maximum allowable brace beam spans as noted on page 11.
Consult Table 4 and Table 4A, page 22, for trapeze design considerations.
c). Determine if rod stiffener is required (pages 57 & 58).
d). Engineer of record for a site specific project shall verify that the structure can support the
connection loads in addition to all other loads.
5). Review the design and revise layout where loads exceed the limitations of the hanger rods, strut trapeze
supports, or connection details.

Notes:
1). B335-2 adjustable hinges for longitudinal braces may be attached on either side adjacent
to the all thread rod, or attached to the all thread rod itself.
2). B335-2 adjustable hinges for transverse braces may be attached to the all thread rod.
3). Two B335-2 adjustable hinges may be attached to the strut trapeze using the same bolt
or all thread rod.
4). It is not necessary to install both transverse braces and longitudinal braces on the same trapeze
support. Either set of braces may be removed to form a longitudinal brace only or a transverse
brace only if desired.
5). Longitudinal braces, when needed, must be installed at both ends of trapeze.
6). The equipment shown on this trapeze support is generic in nature. Any number of pipes,
conduits, ductwork or cable tray may be supported following the system weight and support
spans listed in Appendix 2 - Table 1.
7). Torque all nuts per Note D, page 9.
8). Refer to note Q, page 10 for installations requiring insulated pipe.

to the all thread rod, or attached to the all thread rod itself.
2). B335-2 adjustable hinges for transverse braces may be attached to the all thread rod.
3). Two B335-2 adjustable hinges may be attached to the strut trapeze using the same bolt
or all thread rod.
4). It is not necessary to install both transverse braces and longitudinal braces on the same trapeze
support. Either set of braces may be removed to form a longitudinal brace only or a transverse
brace only if desired.
5). Longitudinal braces, when needed, must be installed at both ends of trapeze.
6). The equipment shown on this trapeze support is generic in nature. Any number of pipes,
conduits, ductwork or cable tray may be supported following the system weight and support
spans listed in Appendix 2 - Table 1.
7). Torque all nuts per Note D, page 9.

Loads shown in chart have a safety factor of 2.


Based on uniformly loaded simple span with adequate lateral bracing using an allowable stress of 21,000 psi (144.7 MPa).
To determine concentrated load capacity at mid-span, multiply the uniform load by 0.5.
Refer to note 3c) on page 17 for uniform and concentrated load requirements.
Use 90% of the solid channel loads for corresponding SH and SHA channels.
Refer to note Q) on page 10 for installations requiring insulated pipe.
* These back to back channels are mig welded.

STRUCTURAL ATTACHMENTS
Brace Structural Attachment Selection Procedure
1) Determine structure to be attached to from the following:
A) Concrete
B) Wood Beam
C) Structural Steel
2) Reference structure connection type from Appendix 1 & 2.
3) Choose appropriate structural detail that meets structure connection type. (I, II, III, IV or V) pages 24
thru 38.
4) Determine anchor size. On concrete structure attachments, calculate minimum embedment and minimum
distance between anchors.

General Notes For Concrete Attachments


1) The minimum embedment values given on pages 24 - 30 provide the anchor capacity to reach the
design loads shown, but may be considered by the 1997 UBC to be shallow anchors (embedment less
that 8 times the anchor diameter). Using shallow anchors may increase the design seismic forc e ,
depending on the building code used. As an alternative, consider using the following values to avoid
shallow anchor issues:
Anchor Bolt Dia.8x Embedment
3/8
3 (76mm)
1/2
4 (101mm)
5/8
5 (127mm)
3/4
6 (152mm)
2) Size and number of expansion anchors is based on "without special inspection" values given in ICBO
(International Conference of Building Officials) Report No. 1385 dated September 1, 2004, Hilti Kwik
Bolt 3 Carbon Steel Allowable Tension and Shear Values.
3) Other anchors may be used providing they are listed in an ICBO ES Evaluation Report, which was tested
in accordance with AC01, including the seismic qualification tests of AC01 Section 5.6. These values
must meet or exceed the values provided in ICBO Report No. 1385, and must be approved by the
structural engineer of record. OSHPD change order is required for California hospitals.
4) For California Essential Facilities, 50% of the expansion type anchor (alternate anchors in a group) shall
be proof tested per Appendix 3. Other projects may have similar requirements, check local codes and
ordinances.
5) Cast in place concrete anchors require special inspection as indicated in the building code for the local
jurisdiction.
6) When slab thickness is less than the minimum allowable, but in excess of the minimum anchor
embedment, a thru bolt approach may be used if approved by the site engineer.
7) When installing drill-in anchors in existing non-prestressed reinforced concrete, use care and caution to
avoid cutting or damaging the existing reinforcing bars. When installing them into existing pre s t re s s e d
concrete (pre-or post-tensioned), locate the prestressed tendons by using a non-destructive method prior
to installation. Exercise extreme care and caution to avoid cutting or damaging the tendons during
installation. Maintain a minimum clearance of 1 inch (25mm) between the reinforcement and the drilled-in
anchor.

HANGER ROD ATTACHMENTS


Hanger Rod Structure Attachments
Selection Procedure
1) Determine structure type to attach hanger rod
A) Concrete
B) Wood Beam
C) Structural Steel
2) Reference rod size and hanger rod load from Appendix 1 & 2.
3) Select a hanger rod attachment detail with a load capacity that meets the hanger rod load

General Notes For Concrete Attachments


1) The minimum embedment values given on pages 40 - 43 provide the anchor capacity to reach the design loads
shown, but may be considered by the 1997 UBC to be shallow anchors (embedment less that 8 times the anchor
diameter). Using shallow anchors may increase the design seismic force, depending on the building code used.
As an alternative, consider using the following values to avoid shallow anchor issues:
Anchor Bolt Dia.
3/8
1/2
5/8
3/4

8x Embedment
3 (76mm)
4 (101mm)
5 (127mm)
6 (152mm)

2) Size and number of expansion anchors is based on "without special inspection" values given in ICBO (International
Conference of Building Officials) Report No. 1385 dated September 1, 2004, Hilti Kwik Bolt 3 Carbon Steel
Allowable Tension and Shear Values.
3) Other anchors may be used providing they are listed in an ICBO ES Evaluation Report, which was tested in accordance with AC01, including the seismic qualification tests of AC01 Section 5.6. These values must meet or
exceed the values provided in ICBO Report No. 1385, and are approved by the structural engineer of record.
OSHPD change order is required for California hospitals.
4) For California hospitals and schools, 50% of the expansion type anchor (alternate anchors in a group) shall be
proof tested per Appendix 3. Other projects may have similar requirements, check local codes and ordinances.
5) Cast in place concrete anchors require special inspection as indicated in the building code for the local
jurisdiction.
6) When slab thickness is less than the minimum allowable, but in excess of the minimum anchor embedment, a thru
bolt approach may be used if approved by the site engineer.
7) When installing drill-in anchors in existing non-prestressed reinforced concrete, use care and caution to avoid
cutting or damaging the existing reinforcing bars. When installing them into existing prestressed concrete (pre-or
post-tensioned), locate the prestressed tendons by using a non-destructive method prior to installation. Exercise
extreme care and caution to avoid cutting or damaging the tendons during installation. Maintain a minimum
clearance of 1 inch (25mm) between the reinforcement and the drilled-in anchor.

Table 1 - Maximum Hanger Spacing for Steel Pipe


Table 2 - Maximum Hanger Spacing for Copper Tubing

This Appendix contains bracing tables developed using allowable stress design
(ASD) for the following seismic force values (i.e. g-values): .15g (ASD),
.30g (ASD), .45g (ASD), .50g (ASD), .75g (ASD), and 1.0g (ASD). The
building code uses strength design. (See Special Note page 2 for further
information.) These charts cover the vast majority of seismic requirements from
coast to coast, from Zone 1 to Zone 4 applications, and take into account the
many codes which may be referenced for a specific project.
The seismic zone, building type, and other factors determine the level of
seismic force for a particular project. The project design professional should
determine the correct seismic force value using the appropriate building code and
local requirements. Use of the correct table is very important to ensure that the
correct brace spacing and anchorage is provided. See pages 1 - 8 for more
information.

Notes:
1). Many codes require pipe hangers to be spaced every 10-0 (3.05m) regardless of size. Check
your local codes. Spacing and capacities are based on water filled standard weight pipe. Closer
hanger spacing may be required when additional valves and fittings increase the load. For
electrical conduit support spacing and weight of conduit filled with conductors information,
see B-Line Strut Systems Catalog.
2). The structure connection type is the brace anchorage requirement. See pages 23 thru 38 for
brace attachment details.
3). The hanger and rod loads indicates the maximum tension in the rod (and hanger) due to gravity
and the additional seismic forces at the braced location. Select a pipe hanger from pages
63 thru 71 that meets the hanger load requirements. Select a rod attachment detail from pages
39 thru 56 that meets the rod load requirements. Be sure to follow the guidelines on page 57 &
58 to see if a rod stiffener is required, due to the length of the rod. Rod stiffeners, if necessary,
are only required at braced locations. Unbraced hangers do not require rod stiffeners.
4). Braces must be attached within 4 inches (101mm) of hanger, see Figure 5, 6 and 8.
5). Table 1 is for steel pipe. Spacing limitations may exist for other types of pipe. See
Note E) on page 9.
6). Seismic forces include 1/3 of horizontal seismic force applied in vertical direction.
7). Consult appropriate plumbing code for non-braced hanger rod sizes.
8). Charts on pages 83 - 86 are for 0.15g (ASD) applications.

Notes:
1). Many codes require pipe hangers to be spaced every 10-0 (3.05m) regardless of size. Check
your local codes. Spacing and capacities are based on water filled standard weight pipe. Closer
hanger spacing may be required when additional valves and fittings increase the load. For
electrical conduit support spacing and weight of conduit filled with conductors information,
see B-Line Strut Systems Catalog.
2). The structure connection type is the brace anchorage requirement. See pages 23 thru 38 for
brace attachment details.
3). The hanger and rod loads indicates the maximum tension in the rod (and hanger) due to gravity
and the additional seismic forces at the braced location. Select a pipe hanger from pages
63 thru 71 that meets the hanger load requirements. Select a rod attachment detail from pages
39 thru 56 that meets the rod load requirements. Be sure to follow the guidelines on page 57 &
58 to see if a rod stiffener is required, due to the length of the rod. Rod stiffeners, if necessary,
are only required at braced locations. Unbraced hangers do not require rod stiffeners.
4). Braces must be attached within 4 inches (101mm) of hanger, see Figure 5, 6 and 8.
5). Table 1 is for steel pipe. Spacing limitations may exist for other types of pipe. See
Note E) on page 9.
6). Seismic forces include 1/3 of horizontal seismic force applied in vertical direction.
7). Consult appropriate plumbing code for non-braced hanger rod sizes.
8). Charts on pages 87 - 90 are for 0.30g (ASD) applications.

Notes:
1). Many codes require pipe hangers to be spaced every 10-0 (3.05m) regardless of size. Check
your local codes. Spacing and capacities are based on water filled standard weight pipe. Closer
hanger spacing may be required when additional valves and fittings increase the load. For
electrical conduit support spacing and weight of conduit filled with conductors information,
see B-Line Strut Systems Catalog.
2). The structure connection type is the brace anchorage requirement. See pages 23 thru 38 for
brace attachment details.
3). The hanger and rod loads indicates the maximum tension in the rod (and hanger) due to gravity
and the additional seismic forces at the braced location. Select a pipe hanger from pages
63 thru 71 that meets the hanger load requirements. Select a rod attachment detail from pages
39 thru 56 that meets the rod load requirements. Be sure to follow the guidelines on page 57 &
58 to see if a rod stiffener is required, due to the length of the rod. Rod stiffeners, if necessary,
are only required at braced locations. Unbraced hangers do not require rod stiffeners.
4). Braces must be attached within 4 inches (101mm) of hanger, see Figure 5, 6 and 8.
5). Table 1 is for steel pipe. Spacing limitations may exist for other types of pipe. See
Note E) on page 9.
6). Seismic forces include 1/3 of horizontal seismic force applied in vertical direction.
7). Consult appropriate plumbing code for non-braced hanger rod sizes.
8). Charts on pages 91 - 94 are for 0.45g (ASD) applications.

Notes:
1). Many codes require pipe hangers to be spaced every 10-0 (3.05m) regardless of size. Check
your local codes. Spacing and capacities are based on water filled standard weight pipe. Closer
hanger spacing may be required when additional valves and fittings increase the load. For
electrical conduit support spacing and weight of conduit filled with conductors information,
see B-Line Strut Systems Catalog.
2). The structure connection type is the brace anchorage requirement. See pages 23 thru 38 for
brace attachment details.
3). The hanger and rod loads indicates the maximum tension in the rod (and hanger) due to gravity
and the additional seismic forces at the braced location. Select a pipe hanger from pages
63 thru 71 that meets the hanger load requirements. Select a rod attachment detail from pages
39 thru 56 that meets the rod load requirements. Be sure to follow the guidelines on page 57 &
58 to see if a rod stiffener is required, due to the length of the rod. Rod stiffeners, if necessary,
are only required at braced locations. Unbraced hangers do not require rod stiffeners.
4). Braces must be attached within 4 inches (101mm) of hanger, see Figure 5, 6 and 8.
5). Table 1 is for steel pipe. Spacing limitations may exist for other types of pipe. See
Note E) on page 9.
6). Seismic forces include 1/3 of horizontal seismic force applied in vertical direction.
7). Consult appropriate plumbing code for non-braced hanger rod sizes.
8). Charts on pages 95 - 98 are for 0.50g (ASD) applications.

Notes:
1). Many codes require pipe hangers to be spaced every 10-0 (3.05m) regardless of size. Check
your local codes. Spacing and capacities are based on water filled standard weight pipe. Closer
hanger spacing may be required when additional valves and fittings increase the load. For
electrical conduit support spacing and weight of conduit filled with conductors information,
see B-Line Strut Systems Catalog.
2). The structure connection type is the brace anchorage requirement. See pages 23 thru 38 for
brace attachment details.
3). The hanger and rod loads indicates the maximum tension in the rod (and hanger) due to gravity
and the additional seismic forces at the braced location. Select a pipe hanger from pages
63 thru 71 that meets the hanger load requirements. Select a rod attachment detail from pages
39 thru 56 that meets the rod load requirements. Be sure to follow the guidelines on page 57 &
58 to see if a rod stiffener is required, due to the length of the rod. Rod stiffeners, if necessary,
are only required at braced locations. Unbraced hangers do not require rod stiffeners.
4). Braces must be attached within 4 inches (101mm) of hanger, see Figure 5, 6 and 8.
5). Table 1 is for steel pipe. Spacing limitations may exist for other types of pipe. See
Note E) on page 9.
6). Seismic forces include 1/3 of horizontal seismic force applied in vertical direction.
7). Consult appropriate plumbing code for non-braced hanger rod sizes.
8). Charts on pages 99 - 102 are for 0.75g (ASD) applications.

Notes:
1). Many codes require pipe hangers to be spaced every 10-0 (3.05m) regardless of size. Check
your local codes. Spacing and capacities are based on water filled standard weight pipe. Closer
hanger spacing may be required when additional valves and fittings increase the load. For
electrical conduit support spacing and weight of conduit filled with conductors information,
see B-Line Strut Systems Catalog.
2). The structure connection type is the brace anchorage requirement. See pages 23 thru 38 for
brace attachment details.
3). The hanger and rod loads indicates the maximum tension in the rod (and hanger) due to gravity
and the additional seismic forces at the braced location. Select a pipe hanger from pages
63 thru 71 that meets the hanger load requirements. Select a rod attachment detail from pages
39 thru 56 that meets the rod load requirements. Be sure to follow the guidelines on page 57 &
58 to see if a rod stiffener is required, due to the length of the rod. Rod stiffeners, if necessary,
are only required at braced locations. Unbraced hangers do not require rod stiffeners.
4). Braces must be attached within 4 inches (101mm) of hanger, see Figure 5, 6 and 8.
5). Table 1 is for steel pipe. Spacing limitations may exist for other types of pipe. See
Note E) on page 9.
6). Seismic forces include 1/3 of horizontal seismic force applied in vertical direction.
7). Consult appropriate plumbing code for non-braced hanger rod sizes.
8). Charts on pages 103 - 106 are for 1.00g (ASD) applications.

Table 1 - 2 Transverse and 2 Longitudinal Braces at each Location


Table 2 - 1 Transverse and 2 Longitudinal Braces at each Location

This Appendix contains bracing tables developed using allowable stress design
(ASD) for the following seismic force values (i.e. g-values): .15g (ASD),
.30g (ASD), .45g (ASD), .50g (ASD), .75g (ASD), and 1.0g (ASD). The
building code uses strength design. (See Special Note on page 2 for further
information.) These charts cover the vast majority of seismic requirements from
coast to coast, from Zone 1 to Zone 4 applications, and take into account the
many codes which may be referenced for a specific project.
The seismic zone, building type, and other factors determine the level of
seismic force for a particular project. The project design professional should
determine the correct seismic force value using the appropriate building code and
local requirements. Use of the correct table is very important to ensure that the
correct brace spacing and anchorage is provided. See pages 1 - 8 for more
information.

TRAPEZE BRACING

Footnotes
1. It is not necessary to install both transverse braces and longitudinal braces on the same trapeze support. For
example, it is common to install transverse braces on trapezes every 40 ft., and then install both transverse and
longitudinal braces every 80 ft.
2. The structure connection type is the brace anchorage requirement. See pages 23 thru 38 for brace attachment
details.
3. Any combination of brace interval and structure connection type (anchor size) may be used for a given system
weight and support span. For example, it is not necessary to use structure connection type II for both transverse
and longitudinal braces. Often longitudinal braces are spaced at a greater distance, and would require a larger
anchor when attaching to structure.
4. The bracing intervals listed are maximums. They are rounded down to facilitate construction. For example, it is
common to use a longitudinal bracing interval that is twice the transverse spacing.
5. The rod load indicates the maximum tension in the rod due to gravity and 1/3 of the horizontal seismic force
applied in the vertical direction for unbraced trapezes. For trapezes with braces attached, the rod load also
includes additional seismic loads. Note that the rod loads at braced locations are significantly higher than
unbraced trapezes. Select a hanger rod attachment detail from pages 39 thru 56 that meets the load
requirements.
6. The minimum rod size is given for both braced and unbraced trapezes. Due to the additional seismic forces at
braced trapezes, the rod sizes may be significantly larger. Be sure to follow the guidelines on page 57 to see if a
rod stiffener is required, due to the length of the rod. Rod stiffeners, if necessary, are only required at braced
locations. Unbraced trapezes never require rod stiffeners.
7. Seismic forces for charts in Appendix 2 (pages 109 - 144) include 1/3 of horizontal seismic force applied in
vertical direction.
8. Charts in Appendix 2 (pages 109 - 144) are for the seismic force levels (%g) listed on those
pages.

Notes
1. Anchor diameter refers to the thread size for the Wedge & Shell categories and to the anchor outside diameter for the Sleeve category.
2. Apply proof test loads to Wedge & Sleeve anchors without removing the nut if possible. If not, remove nut and install a threaded coupler
to the same tightness as the original nut using a torque wrench and apply load.
3. For Sleeve/Shell internally threaded categories, verify that the anchor is not prevented from withdrawing by a baseplate or other fixtures.
If restraint is found, loosen and shim or remove fixture(s) prior to testing.
4. Reaction loads from test fixtures may be applied close to the anchor being tested, provided the anchor is not restrained from withdrawing
by the fixture(s).
5. Shell type anchors should be tested as follows:
a. Visually inspect 25% for full expansion as evidenced by the location of the expansion plug in the anchor body. Plug location of a fully
expanded anchor should be as recommended by the manufacturer, or, in the absence of such recommendation, as determined on the
job site following the manufacturers installation instructions. At least 5% of the anchors shall be proof loaded as indicated in the table
above, but not less than three anchors per day for each different person or crew installing anchors, or;
b. Test 50% of the installed anchors per Section 1925B.3.5.
6. Test equipment (including torque wrenches) is to be calibrated by an approved testing laboratory in accordance with standard recognized
procedures.
7. Torque test values for Shell type anchors can occur on an case-by-case basis when test procedures are submitted and approved by the
enforcement agency.
8. The following criteria apply for the acceptance of installed anchors;
Hydraulic Ram Method: The anchor should have no observable movement at the applicable test load. For wedge and sleeve type
anchors, a practical way to determine observable movement is that the washer under the nut becomes loose.
Torque Wrench Method: The applicable test torque must be reached within the following limits;
Wedge or Sleeve type: One-half (1/2) turn of the nut.
One-quarter (1/4) turn of the nut for 3/8 inch sleeve anchor only.
9. Testing should occur a minimum of 24 hours after installation of the subject anchors.
10. If the manufacturers recommended installation torque is less than the test torque noted in the table, the manufacturers recommended
installation torque should be used in lieu of the tabulated values.
11. All tests shall be performed in the presence of the Inspector of Record.
