R/ Matt -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Todd Williams - FPDC Sent: Friday, July 25, 2008 1:40 PM To: [email protected] Subject: beam strength for hangers NFPA 13 (2002) 9.1.1.2(1) states that "Hangers shall be designed to support five times the weight of water-filled pipe plus 250 lb at each point of piping support." Does this mean the hanger assembly only, or does make it incumbent on the structural steel to actually support this load as well? For a 10 ft piece of 4" sch 10, this would equate to a point load of 839 pounds. We have to get some information to a CE to figure out how to hang a system. Todd G.
