Generally The "Wire Rope systems are "Tension Only" systems. These
are intended to be under tension in all directions at all times to
prevent movement of the pipe. If you have "Slack" you aren't
preventing movement. Call the MfG of the product your using and get
their take on it. It's their engineering that the product
installation is based upon, have them review the installation and
placement for this application.

Subject: Seismic bracing - wire rope
How much , if any, slack is allowed in wire rope used for seismic
bracing?
Our fitters install the product we are using according to the
manufactures
directions and recommendations, but after a period of time (days/
weeks) you
can see slack in some of the braces particularly the lateral
bracing. I
believe this is caused by the pipe getting knocked around by other
trades
during the installation of their work. In any case the fire
marshal has
questions that I need to be prepared to answer. Please help.
Thanks in advance.
