Any movement that does not damage the system or any part of the structure or
other systems is acceptable by code. If the owner is concerned about the
movement the pipe could be braced, similar to seismic. The standard is the
minimum, can you do more? YES!

Subject: Dry System Movement During Trip Test
Dry systems tend to move around during the trip phase. Are there any
guidelines to be able to say "too much movement - add some additional
bracing"? Or, is any movement acceptable as long as the system stays
intact?
