We have a state agency that has separate departmental plan reviews for FLS and structural. The structural reviews are like a proctological exam (sorry Ro) and we have seen ALL manner of comments on hanger, bracing and restraint details, from bullseyes to bull****. The most frustrating thing that they regularly do is confuse bracing and restraints and we are constantly pointing out the difference between a HANGER used in a restraint assembly and an BRACE because they impose EQB provisions on our restraint details. Having repeated the same defense of our details over and over like a mental patient, I assure you that there is no prescriptive requirement that anchorage used in a restraint assembly must be listed.

From: Sprinklerforum [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Joe Burtell Sent: Thursday, April 11, 2019 7:02 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Branchline Restraint I question if they need to be listed at all? Other details show staples, #8 self-tapping screws for steel, 1/4" wood eyelets, etc... I can't imagine any of these are listed for EQ zones? Pipe EQ bracing it is clear, they have to be listed but I don't see where fasteners for restraint need to be?

In the diagram, they show what looks like a wedge bolt anchor but I can't see where there is any size or requirements given for fasteners used for branchline restraint. <image.png> Best regards, Joe Burtell, SET, CFPS Error!
