The photos are parrallel cord trusses with the seismic sprinkler bracing attached to the webs. The truss manufacturer will not say if the web will carry the lateral loads. The sprinkler designer (an engineer) pulled the bracing and fastener sizes right out of NFPA. The disconnect is how and where should they be installed to the structure. It is pass the ball around time to get somebody to say the installation is ok or not.
How do others handle the connection point to the structure, Sprinkler drawings, original structural engineer on the building?
Other installation problems are the sammy's http://sammysuperscrew.com/pdf/SAS%20Catalog%20v2010_lowres.pdf into composite wood products. They advertise them as no pre-drilling required yet the disclaimer is check with the joist manufacture and 99% require pre-drilling. We have been :beatdhrsfor about a year now with little progress. How do others handle situations like this. I absolutley hate deferred submittals for sprinklers :banghd
Rant over. Have a good weekend
