Tom,


How much weight do you think a piece of flex duct for residential is going to 
apply to the pipe?  It looks like the bracket for the diffuser is only about a 
foot away and has 4 screws holding it.  I don’t think that is the same as a 
piece of sheet metal duct being supported by sprinkler pipe.



This is just my opinion.  Not based on anything from NFPA 13D

HVAC duct was found being supported by a CPVC pipe. The pipe is supported by 
holes through the wood joists. I thought NFPA 13D would prohibit sprinkler pipe 
from supporting other trades, but I don't seem to find it.



It's spelled out in NFPA 13, 9.1.1.8 and 13R, 6.13. Did I miss it in NFPA 13D?
