From NFPA 13-2022:

A.17.1.3.1    The rules covering the hanging of sprinkler piping take into 
consideration the weight of water-filled pipe plus a safety factor. No 
allowance has been made for the hanging of non-system components from sprinkler 
piping. NFPA 13 provides the option to support sprinkler piping from other 
sprinkler piping where the requirements of 17.1.2 are met.

17.1.2 concerns hanger configurations that are certified by a registered 
professional engineer.  So if you want to hang from sprinkler pipe it is 
expected that it be proven as adequate.

Best regards,

Larry Keeping,

I took another swing at this....
i Assumed
6" sprinkler main  and you want to hang  some 1" off it.

I took lots of Liberties with my example.

....trying to prove it works with just NFPA 13  @ a  designer level...

Can you hang 1" from a 6" main?

Any thoughts on “ring to ring” instead of using Unistrut? Meaning, hanging 
lower smaller pipe from larger pipe at the deck.
