Is it an XL Gaps or FM job?

If pipe tight to beam then bottom of pipe is 21.5" and a pendent would be about 24" below deck. I think they need sprigs or arm overs. But before I raise issues about this I wanted to be sure others thought it had to have sprigs or arm over as well.

Couldn’t you raise it and put pendants in? Since the piping is obviously exposed, is there any reason you can’t comply with deflector-to-deck distances if you do that? If the pendants extending below the piping is a height or exposure-to-mechanical-damage issue, install a listed headguard on it. Ryan L.

I have been hired to do the 3D coordination of a project designed by a consultant. The consultant indicated uprights directly on the 3" main. I can justify it in that the main is non-structural and this is a light hazard area. However, there is also the section that states you can not put uprights on pipe 3" and larger without a sprig or arm over that would comply with the 3x rule. There is no room to lower the pipe and I am semi-restricted from lateral movement for various other reasons. What does the collective wisdom think with this scenario? And I don't need formulae with a hundred exponents and variables to figure this out. Have a great weekend. Thanks in advance.
