Open Truss Flange Tear Off

Open Truss Flange Tear Off

Open Truss Flange Tear Off

(OP)
I am looking at hanging a fire sprinkler pipe from either the top or bottom chord of an open web truss. The iLevel catalog shows a maximum flange tear off value of 500# for a TJI but no information for a commercial TJL truss. Is there a limiting value for the top and bottom chord members and if so, how is it determined? ANy insight would be apprecaited. Thanks
