5 times the weight plus 250 pounds for sprinkler piping. 1.5 times the weight of the other systems using the "Shared Support", all certified by a registered P.E.
Reference 9.1 in the 13 edition of 13.

Or does it just seem that way? semantics
9.1.1.3.1.1 Sprinkler pipe and other distribution systems shall be permitted to be supported from a shared support structure designed to support five times the weight of water-filled sprinkler pipe and other supported distribution systems plus 250 lb (115 kg), based on the allowable ultimate stress.
9.1.1.3.1.2 Sprinkler pipe and other distribution systems shall be permitted to be supported from a shared support structure designed to support five times the weight of the water-filled sprinkler pipe plus 250 lb (115 kg), and one and one-half times the weight of all other supported distribution systems.

It confused me as well.
It seems you either do #1 or #2. #1 being worse.
We went with #2 from the Structural Engineer.
