hanging to trapeze ceiling

hanging to trapeze ceiling

(OP)
Hi,

I have a question about hanging to trapezoid sheet. We will do a sprinkler installation in Poland according NFPA. Can we hang sprinkler pipe DN65 to trapeze sheet? I will use trapeze ceiling fixing. Could you show me any record in NFPA13 which say about hanging to trapeze sheet/ceiling?


Thanks a lot

RE: hanging to trapeze ceiling

Are you talking about a suspended ceiling supported by lightweight metal with dimensional lay-in panels?

RE: hanging to trapeze ceiling

1. substantially supported from the building structre

2. must support water filled pipe plus minimum 250 pounds

3. metal deck can support 1 inch or less

RE: hanging to trapeze ceiling

see reply above if you can meet some of those go for it

there are more specifics in nfpa 13

RE: hanging to trapeze ceiling

Check out the Sammy Xpress hanger.  It is listed for up to 4" pipe.  You need to make sure that the trapezoid sheet is of the proper gauge.
