The installation guides of "ALL" manufacturers of CPVC pipe and fittings will be changed to new wording. They are finishing this now. Wording in last email reflects that change. Individual manufacturers have all agreed to new wording shown below and I know that they have and will write such letters until it is integrated into instruction guides. I do not feel comfortable posting letter I have a copy of without there permission. This is why I suggest contacting your manufacturer directly. If you need any help let me know directly.

This is from an installation guide, "The pipe size of the hanger shall be the same size as the supported pipe". Ryan Peterson Wayne Automatic Fire Sprinklers, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Top Myers Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2008 4:51 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Hanger Size Question The following wording explains the issue. CPVC manufacturers have often written letters allowing upsizing one size on U-strap hangers The process of attaching CPVC fire sprinkler pipe and fittings systems to a structure using certain types of hangers and supports not used to restrain the piping system as required to address specific sprinkler applications/Listings may possibly impart excessive, unacceptable stress upon the pipe. This can lead to cracking of the pipe. For example, excessive bending stress can be placed on the pipe when a hanger is located near a fitting and fastened tightly to the structure. The actual deflection of the pipe should be compared to the values given in the table of "Permissible Bending Deflections of CPVC Pipe with Both Ends Restrained". Always minimize the stress upon the CPVC fire sprinkler system when installing hangers and supports. If, in the example mentioned, the deflection is greater than that specified in the table, the next larger size hanger could be installed to reduce the stress.
