Not in 13D – Support is not sent back to 13 so currently it appears to be a 
loophole. However, according to Spears the bigger issue would be product 
compatibility which arguably is even more important than the slight weigh of 
duct. 

Not a politician.

Tom,
Correct, I cannot find anything in the standard that addresses you issue.

Regarding NFPA 13D, it's silent on sprinkler piping or hangers shall not be 
used to support non-system components. I'm looking for a confirmation that is a 
true statement.

What about the distance of the head to the deflector?

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?
