I asked once and they said that tab was for lifting.

Practicality?? to rod back, but no document to allow.

This was actually the first time we had it come up on the 1 piece riser. I’m assuming the other underground contractors simply poured a thrust block because it was either habit or easier than educating us… David Smith | DeputyFire Marshal P 503.635.0378 | F 503.635.0376 [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> 300 B Avenue | PO BOX 369 Lake Oswego OR 97034 From: Sprinklerforum [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Richard Carr Sent: Wednesday, April 26, 2017 4:00 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: In Building Riser -- Restraints You have 3 options, Thrust block Mega lug type Rod back to fitting.

Typically we have seen contractors provide thrust blocks at the bend. We’ve had one installed recently without one and the foundation was poured before we were able to view it. The contractor is advising us that a thrust block is not needed. The specification sheet provided advises: If the piping installation is essentially complete, the piping restraints may adequately take the thrust loads generated by having a blind end on the pipe system. In these cases, no special actions to restrain thrust or side loads are required, and the fitting installed in the system may be adequate for hydrostatic testing. Is the restraint at the pipe connection on the supply side all that is needed?
