Fire sprinkler systems must be adequately supported by connecting the hangers to the building structure, not to another pipe as illustrated in today’s picture.http://www.usfa.dhs.gov/downloads/pdf/coffee-break/cb_fp_2010_49.pdfHangers are intended to support the sprinkler system to hold it in place away from other building components, and restrain its movement in the event that a sprinkler operates. With some exceptions, National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 13, Standard for the Installation of Sprinkler Systems, requires each section of sprinkler pipe to be supported by a hanger connected to a structural member.Hangers should support the added load of the water-filled pipe plus a minimum of 250 lb (114 kg) applied at the point of hanging.There are three exceptions in the installation standard:1. Listed flexible sprinkler hose fittings and their anchoring components when installed in accordance with the requirements of the listing, including any installation instructions.2. Branch line hangers attached to metal a deck for supporting only pipe 1 inch or smaller in size, by drilling or punching the vertical portion of the metal deck and using through bolts.3. Toggle hangers for supporting only pipe 1-1/2 inches or smaller in size under ceilings of hollow tile or metal lath and plaster.View attachment 1454
