Thomas, Best Wishes this morning, but I must say you sir are truly boots on the ground taking the time to address a sprinkler issue while awaiting a procedure in the cardiac unit.
Again Best Wishes to a full recovery.

I am currently in the cardiac unit awaiting a heart cath in the morning. I remember the retaining nuts being provided with the Sammy screws and never thought of them as being optional. (no sarcasm intended) However, when the boss says ""Just do it" I did as I was told. On the other hand, I remember reading here that 1 1/2" split-ring hangers are only rated at 160#. Far short of NFPA13 requirements. Since reading that, I have only used them as stand-off rings for attaching pipe to walls and floors. With this heavy galvanized dry system hanging from all these weak links, do I really have nothing to fear when that valve trips? If one hanger fails, then the next closest ones fail, etc.... I think I just want something to worry about other than my health.
