But, just looking a dead and live loading, I would consider 1.2(DL + water). Since everything pipe full of water is known, i consider both as dead.
With that said, one must consider any thrust in bends etc.. as a load on the hangers also.

So for Strength Design (LRFD), both the 1.4 and 1.2 factor should be used.
