Restraint is not required for arm overs. So technically not required.

Is this eq country? Somewhere there's something that requires up thrust restraint at the end of line. I think lateral is only required for seismic areas, but I'd need to read the section before I made an unequivocal statement.

I got one that says it doesn't, 9.3.6.7 Drops and armovers shall not require restraint. 3.5.3 Arm-Over. A horizontal pipe that extends from the branch line to a single sprinkler or a sprinkler above and below a ceiling. I just find it odd I can have a 2" pipe 100' long serving one head and it doesn't need anything but regular old gravity hangers. Or I can't find anything to challenge 9.3.6.7. My case I have a bunch of 3-8' 1" legit armovers. Contractor didn't install restraint and I think he's right technically. >> >> Chris Cahill, PE* >> Senior Fire Protection Engineer >> Burns & McDonnell >> 8201 Norman Center Drive >> Bloomington, MN 55437 >> Phone: 952.656.3652 >> Fax: 952.229.2923 >> [email protected] >> www.burnsmcd.com >> >> Proud to be one of FORTUNE's 100 Best Companies to Work For >> *Registered in: MN >> >> >> >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of rongreenman . >> Sent: Sunday, October 20, 2013 2:19 PM >> To: [email protected] >> Subject: Re: NFPA 13 '10 9.3.6 BL Restraint >> >> Restraint is to avoid upward thrust and side to side thrust, whipping >> for Devo fans, at the end of a branch line.
