Configured assembly
Seismic Brace Assembly for Pipes
Lateral and longitudinal sway brace for suspended pipework, made from slotted channel, a pipe clamp and hinged connectors anchored to the structure.
Application
Fire Protection Piping Systems
Sprinkler and fire main pipework is braced so that a seismic event cannot pull the piping away from its supports or its connections.
Fire-protection piping is heavy, pressurised and often the largest pipe run in a ceiling void. Braces are placed at intervals along the run in both the lateral and the longitudinal direction, with the pipe clamp taking the load into the strut.
QINYU supplies seismic clamps for the pipe diameters used in sprinkler systems, together with the channel, hinge connectors and anchors that complete the assembly.
Technical basis
- GB 50981-2014 requires seismic bracing for domestic water and fire-protection piping of DN65 and larger.
- Brace spacing follows the seismic design of the project and the requirements of the code.
- Installation and acceptance are commonly checked against CECS 420:2015.
Standards are quoted as the design reference used in our technical documentation.
