SINGLE PIPE/CONDUIT BRACING Single Rod Hanger Pipe Bracing 1) Layout piping run and determine size and location of piping. 2) Select vertical supports (single rod pipe hangers). a) Select type of hanger dependent on type of pipe, thermal expansion and contraction, etc. b) Determine maximum spacing of hanger rods and minimum hanger rod diameter. (Appendix 1) c) Select hanger rod connection to the structure based on structure type, rod size and hanger rod load from Appendix 1. Refer to section on hanger rod attachment for details (pages 39 thru 56) d) Engineer of record for a site specific project shall verify that the structure can support the connection loads in addition to all other loads. 3) Select lateral bracing (transverse and longitudinal bracing). a) Select bracing details (transverse & longitudinal) from Figures 1 thru 8. b) Determine maximum spacing for transverse and longitudinal braces. (Appendix 1) c) Determine the type of structure connection required. (Appendix 1) Refer to section on structural attachments for connection details. d) Determine if rod stiffener is required. (pages 57 & 58) e) Engineer of record for a site specific project shall verify that the structure can support the connection loads. 4) Review the design and revise layout where loads exceed the limitations of the hanger ro d s , hangers or connection details.

*Slotted channel (SH) versions of all the above types may also be used for brace members.<br />

See page 21 for channel details.<br />

**The Structure Connection Type is the brace anchorage requirement.<br />

See pages 23 - 38 for brace attachment details.<br />

Note: Do not exceed the maximum brace length or maximum structure connection<br />

type for the channels listed.<br />
