INTRODUCTION TO THE JANUARY 2016 EDITION OF THE MASON SEISMIC MANUAL
The January 2016 edition of the Mason Industries Seismic Manual includes our OSHPD Approved Seismic
Restraint Guidelines for Suspended Piping, Ductwork, and Electrical Systems OPA-0349 and also in-
cludes our Seismic Restraint Guidelines for Floor and Roof Mounted Equipment, which has been exten-
sively revised and updated.
The Seismic Restraint Guidelines for Suspended Piping, Ductwork, and Electrical Systems is unchanged
from the original OSHPD approval. In California all hardware sizes and installation details are valid without ad-
ditional review on all OSHPD and DSA projects permitted under CBC 2001, 2007 and 2010. The actual bracing
requirements for piping, ductwork and conduit must meet the requirements included in the appropriate code
cycle and anchor bolt design and selection must be updated to meet the latest code requirements.
New OPM pre-approvals are required on OSHPD 2013 Code Projects. Refer to FM67-72 for current OPM pre-
approved products. Products will be added as testing is completed and they are OPM approved
OSHPD pre-approvals are also an excellent source of certification for other projects in California and
projects outside of California since they are an independent government agency’s certification of a
product’s seismic capacity, based on test results that have been developed, reviewed and approved
by the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development, the California state agency responsible
for hospital construction.
New pre-approvals for CBC 2013 OSHPD projects will be assigned an OPM number. Unlike OPA approvals,
OSHPD will not assign OPM approvals to individual products but will instead require those products to be in-
cluded in a distribution system bracing manual or specific equipment bracing standard. For OPM pre-approval
consideration OSHPD is requiring a new series of tests based on the cyclic testing methods in Factory Mutual
FM-1950 standard for fire sprinkler bracing.
Mason Industries has completed this testing on seismic bracing products included in our new seismic bracing
manual for distribution systems. The Mason Industries Seismic Restraint Guidelines for Suspended Distribu-
tion Systems is pre-approved by OSHPD for 2013 CBC projects as OPM-0043-13. This manual is very specific
and includes products and designs that may far exceed the requirements on typical commercial projects. In
addition to the distribution systems included in the manual the approval pages and capacities of our solid
braces, cable braces and rod bracing can be used when submitting calculations on suspended equipment
bracing on a project by project basis. Several pages that include our seismic bracket approvals have been
included in the FM section of this manual for reference.
The testing of isolation hangers, restrained isolators and seismic snubbers is not included in FM-1950 and
requires significant modification to provide results that are acceptable to OSHPD. The end result of these
tests is a listing of strength and stiffness values for each product. These values will be used to determine the
acceptance of product on a particular project and included in a distribution system standard or equipment
bracing standard.
On equipment with OSP approvals the isolator and restraint products used on a project must have an equiva-
lent stiffness/weight ratio to those isolation products used in the equipment certification tests, and the strength
required to handle the actual project seismic requirements. Mason can provide data to qualify our products
on OSP approved equipment, regardless of the particular manufacturer of the isolators or braces used in the
OSP testing.
While isolator testing is in progress Mason will provide test results and calculations for submittal and approval
on a project by project basis on all isolation and bracing products.
The Seismic Restraint Guidelines for Floor and Roof Mounted Equipment includes some original informa-
tion as well as some valuable new information including:
Vibration Isolation and Seismic Restraint Applications (FM3-27) includes details of typical equipment
installations with vibration isolation and seismic restraints identified and referenced to a specification.
Please refer to the particular equipment type to learn which isolator models are appropriate.
Oversize Equipment Bolt Hole Solutions (FM28) is important information on reducing gaps in equip-
ment anchorage holes that could otherwise lead to anchorage failure.
Housekeeping Pads (FM29-31) includes information on the Mason HPA Housekeeping Pad Anchor.
Unanchored housekeeping pads were the cause of significant damage in previous earthquakes. The
Mason HPA provides the contractor with an anchor device that is easy to anchor to the floor and allows
rebar attachment. Design charts include typical requirements.
Attachment to Concrete (FM32-33) describes several Mason post-installed anchors that can be used
in certain situations. The installation requirements and advantages of each anchor type are listed for
comparison. Anchor approvals are also listed. New concrete anchorage requirements require complete
anchor information in order to provide a proper design.
Vibration Isolation and Seismic Restraint Specifications (FM34-40) are new to the manual and in-
clude the very latest Mason product descriptions and requirements.
Vibration Isolation and Seismic Restraint Product Approvals (FM41-64) is a comprehensive collec-
tion of all current OPA approval product data sheets that include allowable load charts. Other tested
products are also included.
Dynamic Analysis of Floor Mounted Equipment (FM65-66) is information that details the value of our
Z1011 seismic snubber in controlling the amplification of shock loads and our Dynamic Analysis capa-
bilities.
We have included several pages from our OSHPD OPM Seismic Bracing Preapproval OPM-0043-13
(FM67-72) that illustrate our OPM approved seismic brace brackets. These brackets are the basis of the
approval. They were tested by Factory Mutual to meet FM-1950 test standard and are acceptable for
use on all systems including fire sprinkler piping.
We have included a new section on Flexible Connectors for Equipment Piping Connections (FM73-76).
These connections have proven vulnerable to damage in earthquakes. The code requires the pipe con-
nections to be flexible and to capable of handling the differential motion of the piping. Here is the ap-
propriate flexible connection information to complete the proper design.
In the new section on Pipe Crossing Building Joints (FM77-82) we have included schematics of vari-
ous design options, required by code to allow piping to cross building seismic joints. The use of a flexible
connector at the joint greatly simplifies the installation. Details and product information are included.
Flexible Connectors for Inline Coil Piping (FM83-86) is new and includes specific details for the prop-
er installation of these components. The code allows some inline coils to remain unbraced along with
the duct but requires flexible connectors on attached piping. Broken inline coils have been the cause of
significant water damage and a major hospital shutdown and evacuation.
ASG Adjustable Sliding Guides for Piping (FM87-90) is the newest Mason addition to proper sup-
port and guiding of piping systems. The design of the ASG is a great improvement over the old spider
guide design. Ease of installation and certified load capacities make the ASG the best pipe guide in the
industry.
Piping Riser Supports and Seismic Restraint (FM91-102) is a new section with information on float-
ing riser design utilizing our 30N spring hangers or SLF spring mounts to provide flexible supports that
can account for changes in riser length and distribute riser loads to multiple floors. We also highlight our
VSG riser guides to guide the pipe, seismically restrain the pipe and allow the riser to move and deflect
as the floors drift in an earthquake.

SEISMIC RESTRAINT GUIDELINES
For SUSPENDED PIPING,
DUCTWORK and ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS
These guidelines provide general seismic restraint requirements and details for suspended piping,
ductwork and electrical systems. Prior to installation, the support and seismic restraint locations
shall be verified by the engineer responsible for the design of the structure. Any deviation from the
information presented shall be resolved in accordance with standard engineering practice and be
approved by the enforcement agency.
These guidelines may be used for any seismic horizontal acceleration input up to 2.0g. However,
component sizes are based on Allowable Stress Design (ASD). Building Codes (i.e. 1997 UBC, 2000
IBC, etc.) are changing to Strength Design based acceleration inputs. To use these guidelines for
Strength Design acceleration inputs, divide the seismic horizontal acceleration by the appropriate
factor stated in the applicable code to reduce it to an ASD based input. For example, if design is
based on the 1997 Uniform Building Code, divide the seismic horizontal acceleration input Fp, as
determined in Section 1632, by 1.4 and use the resulting acceleration in these guidelines. (e.g. If Fp =
2.1g based on 1997 UBC, use Fp = 2.1g/1.4 = 1.5g in these guidelines.)
Recommended Specification:
All suspended piping, ductwork, conduit and cable trays* shall be provided with seismic sway
braces in accordance with the Mason Industries Seismic Restraint Guidelines for Suspended Piping,
Ductwork and Electrical Systems and the applicable codes**. Seismic sway braces shall consist of
galvanized steel aircraft cables or steel angles/channels. Steel aircraft cables shall be prestretched to
establish a certified minimum modulus of elasticity. Cables braces shall be designed to resist seismic
tension loads and steel braces shall be designed to resist both tension and compression loads with
a minimum safety factor of 2. Brace end connections shall be steel assemblies that swivel to the final
installation angle. Do not mix cable and steel braces to brace the same system. Steel angles or strut
channels, when required, shall be clamped to the threaded hanger rods at the seismic sway brace
locations utilizing a minimum of two ductile iron clamps. The bracing system shall have an Anchorage
Preapproval “OPA” Number from OSHPD in the State of California verifying its capability to resist
seismic forces. Cable brace assemblies shall be Type SCB, steel brace assemblies shall be Type
SSB, rod clamps shall be either Type SRC or UCC, pipe clevis braces shall be Type CCB and multiple
anchor load distribution brackets shall be Type SLDB all as manufactured by Mason Industries, Inc.

1. These guidelines are designed to meet the requirements of the California Code of Regulations
(CCR), Chapter 16 for essential facilities, the 1997 Uniform Building Code (Refer to Page 15),
the 1996 Building Officials Code Administration, the 1997 Southern Building Code Congress
International and any other horizontal acceleration input. They address seismic sway bracing for
suspended pipe, duct or electrical systems and vertical risers for up to a five-story building. Riser
supports must be engineered individually for six story and higher buildings.
2. For California hospitals submitted prior to November 1, 2002 and designed in accordance with
the 1998 CCR, all restraints and their anchorages must be capable of restraining horizontal
accelerations as follows. For nonstructural components:
Note: The Engineer of Record shall determine the horizontal acceleration for non-
California hospital projects when using these guidelines.
3. A complete description on how to use these guidelines is provided on pages 17 to 29. It includes
specific examples for both using the enclosed details/ charts and layout of bracing for individual
and trapeze supported systems.
1. These guidelines list installations, which may be exempt from bracing. However, the engineer of
record shall be responsible for determining whether to allow the exceptions.
2. Each straight pipe, duct or electrical run with two or more supports requires a minimum of two
transverse braces (perpendicular to the run). (Option: A longitudinal brace on the opposite side of
an elbow or tee may act as a transverse brace. Refer to the layout examples detailed on pages 26
to 29.)
3. Each straight pipe, duct or electrical run requires a minimum of one longitudinal brace (parallel to
the run). (Option: A transverse brace on the opposite side of an elbow or tee can sometimes act
as a longitudinal brace. Refer to the layout examples detailed on pages 26 to 29.)

GENERAL NOTES (continued)
4. Transverse and longitudinal brace shall be installed up to 45 degrees or 1(Vert.): 1(Horiz.) brace
angle ratio from horizontal. Brace spacing or maximum weight per foot (meter) can be reduced to
allow up to 1.5:1 or 2:1 brace angle ratios. Consult Mason Industries for braces installed at an angle
higher than a 2:1 ratio.
5. Seismic bracing may consist of solid bracing designed to accept loads in tension and compression
or cable bracing designed to accept tension loads only. Each brace method requires a vertical
hanger at or within 4" (102 mm) of their attachment to the mechanical or electrical system. The
vertical hanger may or may not require stiffening or additional anchorage to the structure (Refer to
Notes on Supports).
6. Do not mix solid bracing with cable bracing in the same direction on any run of a mechanical or
electrical system.
7. Do not brace a system to two different parts of a building, which may act differently in response to
an earthquake. For example, avoid connecting a transverse brace to a wall and a longitudinal brace
to a floor or roof at the same brace location.
8. Systems with significant thermal motion shall be designed on a case by case basis by a
professional engineer familiar with both seismic loading and thermal expansion.
9. Seismic brace requirements for individually supported and trapeze supported systems including
maximum transverse and longitudinal spacing; aircraft cable and solid brace member size; and
attachment to the building structure are tabulated in Section A and D, respectively.
10. Seismic brace requirements for a trapeze supported system in Section D are based on the
maximum total weight per foot (meter). In addition, the maximum total weight per foot (meter) in
Section D can be used to determine seismic brace requirements for individually supported systems.
Note: If the load on the trapeze is not equally distributed to each support rod, the maximum total
weight per foot (meter) used to determine longitudinal brace requirements must be equal to 2 times
the maximum loaded rod.
11. All components supported by a trapeze member must be clamped or bolted down to the trapeze.
Pipes set in rollers or other thermal expansion supports only require clamping at seismic brace
locations designed to prevent uplift but allow for thermal motion. Friction connections must have
approved or tested values, such as strut nuts and bolts torqued to manufacturer’s requirements.
12. Multiple or stacked trapezes that share support rods must be braced independently from one
another. Each section of threaded rod between trapezes and/or the building structure is subject to
vertical stiffening requirements of pages E1 or E2 (Refer to Notes on Supports).
13. Vertical drops from suspended systems to equipment (or flexible connectors where applicable) may
be braced using the transverse and longitudinal braces in this manual. Note: Do not exceed 1/2
of the maximum brace spacing as measured from the seismic brace to the equipment of flexible
connector when bracing vertical drops. (Refer to Layout of the Seismic Braces, page 29)
14. Any system which crosses a building separation or seismic joint must be designed accommodate
2 times the joint width displacements or as specified by the engineer of record for approval by the
enforcement agency.
Notes on Supports:
1. Where the seismic brace system incorporates the use of a threaded vertical hanger and designed
to carry gravity loads only, additional anchorage and/or stiffening may be required as detailed.
General support of pipe, duct and electrical systems to carry gravity loads shall be determined by
the engineer of record and/or mechanical, plumbing or electrical code requirements. The use of
“C-Clamps” designed to attach threaded rod to one side of a steel beam flange shall not be used
unless they are provided with a restraining strap or hook to the opposite beam flange. Pipe clevis
shall be provided with pipe insulation protection shields o protect the insulation as per MSS-SP-69.
When insulation is removed to facilitate the installation of pipe clamps or other hardware, the
mechanical engineer shall provide details for the re-insulation of the pipe.
2. Support rod capacity and its anchorage to the structure is an important part of a solid bracing
system. Solid braces shall not be attached to existing systems or support rods designed for gravity
loads unless they are checked for increased tension loads. Section K of these guidelines tabulates
the seismic tension load applied to the support rod at solid brace locations.
3. Threaded vertical hanger rods where seismic sway bracing is attached may require stiffening. A
vertical rod stiffener can be done two ways. One way is with a steel angle cut to the appropriate
length attached to the threaded rod with a minimum of two Seismic Rod Clamps (Mason type
SRC). The second way is with strut channel cut to the appropriate length and attached to the
threaded rod with a minimum of two Strut Channels (Mason type UCC). Maximum spacing will be
as tabulated on pages B1, E1, E2, X5 and X5C. Installation of the threaded vertical hanger rod,
with or without a stiffener, must conform to the details on pages G1 and G2 including maximum
distance to the clamp from each end. Vibration isolation hangers (neoprene, spring, or combination
of the two) must be installed within 3/8" (10 mm) of the structure with a vertical limit stop 1/4" (6
mm) from the underside of the hanger housing. Page B1 tabulates the maximum unbraced rod
length (the maximum length of the rod allowed without a stiffener) and the maximum braced rod
length (the maximum length of the rod allowed with a stiffener) for up to 24" (610 mm) diameter
pipe (or the tabulated maximum weight per foot (meter) of an individually supported system). Pages
E1 and E2 tabulate the same information for trapeze supported systems. Page E1 is based on
SCB/SSB size and rod diameter, and page E2 is based on maximum total weight.

Structural Engineer
California SE No. 2811 Bill Staehlin (916) 654-3362
GENERAL NOTES (continued)
4. Vibration isolation hangers at seismic sway brace locations must be installed with the top of the
hanger housing flush with the structural support surface. In the case of combination spring and
neoprene hangers (Mason type PC30N), a space of up to 3/8" (10 mm) between the top of the
hanger housing and the structure due to the deflection of the neoprene element is acceptable, as
detailed throughout these guidelines.
5. Trapeze supports shall consist of steel angles, back to back channels, or 12 gauge (2.7 mm) single
or double channel strut. Determine trapeze size based on load and spacing between vertical
supports on page E3. Threaded rods shall attach to the trapeze with nuts and washers on both the
top and bottom.
1. Cables shall be prestretched galvanized 7x19 strand core aircraft cable with no limit to their
installed length. Note: Horizontal accelerations defined in general note 2 or by applicable code
must be multiplied by 2 if non-prestretched cable is used.
2. Cables shall be installed such that the only visible slack is that due to cable sag. Cables shall not
support gravity loads.
3. Cables shall be attached to both the mechanical/electrical system and the structure using the
seismic cable brace components (Mason Type SCB (H,V). Refer to pages X1, X2 and X3).
4. The SCB cable bolts shall be installed per the torque requirements tabulated on pages X1, X2 and
X3.
5. The SCBH component can be used for attachment directly to the threaded vertical hanger rod
used for supporting system gravity loads as detailed in Sections C and F.
6. The SCBV component can be used for attachment to steel beams in lieu of bolting or welding as
detailed on page H12. Note: Installation of the SCBV must be perpendicular to the steel beam.
1. Solid bracing members shall be steel angle or 12 gauge (2.7 mm) channel strut. The charts in
sections A and D tabulate the minimum solid brace size based on a maximum solid brace length of
9'-6" (2.9 m). The chart on page X4 allows for a different solid brace member size if the maximum
installed length is 5'-0" (1.5 m) or 14'-6" (4.4 m).
2. Solid brace members shall be attached to both the mechanical/electrical system and the
structure using the seismic solid brace components (Mason Type SSB (U) or SSBS. Refer to
pages X4 and X11).
3. As stated in “Notes on Supports”, the support rod attachment at seismic solid brace locations
must be designed to accept the seismic tension load tabulated in Section K in addition to the
gravity load.
1. Attachment to the building structure is the determining factor in the design of seismic sway
bracing. Lightweight structures may limit the maximum spacing between seismic braces.
The engineer of record shall determine the maximum allowable seismic loads for the building
structure.
3. Expansion anchors shall be ITW Ramset/Trubolt Wedge Anchors for 3000 psi (20680 kPa) stone
aggregate concrete slabs and 3000 psi (20680 kPa) stone aggregate or lightweight concrete filled
decks installed in accordance with ICBO Report ER-1372/1997, Tables 7, 8, 9 and 14. When
expansion anchors are used, 50 percent of alternate bolts in a group shall be tension tested or
torque tested to the test values tabulated on page X8. Testing shall be done in the presence
of the project inspector and a report of the test results shall be submitted to the enforcement
agency. If any anchors fail, the enforcement agency shall determine the additional testing
requirements. Note: This is not a standard UBC, BOCA or SBCCI requirement and may not be
required for commercial buildings.
4. All welded connections shall be minimum 70xx electrode welds. Note: This is not a standard
UBC, BOCA or SBCCI requirement and may not be required for commercial buildings. Charts
support the use of 60xx electrode welds on Non-OSHPD/DSA projects.

California SE No. 2811 Bill Staehlin (916) 654-3362
GENERAL NOTES (continued)
5. Metal decks shall be minimum 20 gauge (0.9mm) with a maximum 3" (76 mm) flute and minimum
6" (152mm) total thickness from bottom of flute to top of concrete fill. Concrete fill shall be
minimum 3000 psi (20680 kPa) lightweight concrete. Note: Metal decks with minimum 3000 psi
(20680 kPa) stone aggregate concrete fill may use the lightweight concrete deck charts.
6. Concrete attachments are based on specified anchor bolts or inserts. Substitution of alternate
anchors must be approved by Mason Industries (and the enforcement agency where applicable)
on a job by job basis.
7. For structures with concrete waffle slabs use the stone aggregate concrete slab charts while
following the minimum edge distance requirements of the expansion anchors and/or inserts.
Seismic Cable Brace, Mason Type SCB, Seismic Solid Brace, Mason Type SSB, and Seismic
Solid Brace Strut Anchor Mason Type SSB components may be attached to the side of the
vertical potion of the waffle as long as the brace angle ratio of the SCB or SSB relative to the
surface of the concrete does not exceed 2:1.
8. When installing drilled-in anchors in existing non-prestressed reinforced concrete, use care
and caution to avoid cutting or damaging reinforcing bars. When installing them in existing
prestressed concrete, locate the prestressed tendons by using a non-destructive method and
avoid cutting or damaging the tendons during installation.
9. Seismic Load Distribution Brackets shall be installed where (2) or (4) bolts are required for
attachment to a concrete slab or deck. (Mason Type SLDB. Refer to pages X9 and X10).
10. Lag screws shall be installed into a wood structure with regard to minimum edge and end
distances tabulated on Page H13. Wood must have a minimum specific gravity of 0.35, which
includes Douglas Fir, Pine and Redwood. The Structural Engineer of Record shall verify wood
specific gravity, connection detail and capability of structure to resist seismic loads indicated on
page H13.
A. All fuel oil, gas, medical gas, compressed air, vacuum and other potentially hazardous
piping systems unless specifically excepted by the engineer of record.
B. All piping 11/4" (32 mm) nominal diameter and larger located in boiler, mechanical
equipment and refrigeration mechanical rooms.
C. All other piping 21/2" (64 mm) nominal diameter and larger.
All piping suspended by individual hanger rods 12" (305 mm) or less as measured from the top
of the pipe to the bottom of the support where the hanger is attached. If the 12" (305mm) limit
is exceeded by any hanger in the run, seismic bracing is required for the run. Note: A single
support location that meets the requirement of this exception does not constitute a seismic
sway brace location.
The exception also applies for trapeze supported systems if the distance as measured from the
point of attachment to the trapeze to the point of attachment to the structure is less than 12" (305
mm). Note: If directional changes or offsets to equipment connections do not allow for
flexibility of the trapezed system (e.g. long offsets or flexible connectors) then the system
must be braced regardless of pipe diameter or distance to the structure if the combined
weight per foot (meter) of all items is greater than 10 lbs/ft (14.9 kg/m).
Page 30 of these guidelines details the “12 inch Rule” for suspended piping.
In addition, to meet the 1997 Uniform Building Code CBC/2001, all of the following conditions
must also be satisfied:
1. Lateral motion of piping will not cause damaging impact with surrounding systems
(e.g. other pipe, duct, equipment, sprinkler heads etc.) or cause loss of system vertical
support.
2. Piping must be made of ductile material with ductile connections (e.g. welded steel pipe,
brazed copper pipe, etc.)
3. Vertical support connections cannot develop moments (e.g. swivel joints, eye bolts,
vibration isolation hangers, etc.)
2. Steel and copper pipe with welded or brazed connections shall be braced at the spacings shown
in these guidelines. Transverse brace spacing shall not exceed 50 feet (15.2 m) up to 0.25g, 40
feet (12.2 m) up to 1.0g, and 20 feet (6.1 m) up to 2.0g. Maximum longitudinal spacing shall not
exceed 80 feet (24.4 m) up to 1.0g, and 40 feet (12.2 m) up to 2.0g. Steel and copper pipe with
screwed connections brace spacing shall not exceed 1/2 the spacing listed in these guidelines.
All pipe must be considered full of water when determining seismic brace requirements unless
specifically engineered otherwise.
3. Cast iron pipe (no hub pipe) brace spacings shall not exceed 1/2 the spacings listed in note 2
above. In addition, braces shall be installed at each side of a change in direction of 90° or more.
Cast iron pipe shall be considered full of water when determining weight.
4. Piping with grooved pipe assemblies UL listed for Standard 213 shall be braced at spacings not
to exceed those listed in note 2 above. Non-UL listed grooved pipe assemblies brace spacings
shall not exceed 1/2 the spacings listed in note 2 above.

California SE No. 2811 Bill Staehlin (916) 654-3362
GENERAL NOTES (continued)
5. For PVC, PVDF, FRP and other specialty piping, brace spacings shall not exceed 1/2 the spacings
listed in note 2 above. Braces can be selected for the actual pipe weight at these spacings.
6. Gas, fuel oil, vacuum, medical gas and compressed air piping brace spacings shall not exceed
the maximum spacings listed in note 2 above. Piping constructed other than those listed in note
2 must follow the requirements of notes 3, 4 and 5.
7. Transverse restraints for insulated pipe shall be installed on clevis, J-Hanger or roller hanger
supports sized to fit over insulation inserts and on trapeze supports where the insulation insert is
supported by the trapeze and the clamp is sized to fit over the insulation insert.
8. Longitudinal restraints for all pipes shall be attached directly to the pipe using a pipe clamp
hanger or a standard pipe clamp within 4" (102 mm) of a vertical support. Where required,
insulation shall be installed over the pipe clamp so the pipe clamp is in direct contact with the
pipe. The Engineer of Record is responsible for determining and detailing if a special clamp is
required to prevent breaking the vapor barrier for chilled water systems.
9. The pipe weights tabulated in Section A are based on schedule 40 steel pipe for up to 12" (305 mm)
diameter, schedule 30 steel pipe for 14" (356 mm) to 18" (457 mm) diameter and schedule 20 for
20" (508 mm) and 24" (610 mm) diameters. Weights also include water and insulation. Verify the
maximum weight per foot (meter) listed in the column next to pipe size when determining seismic
brace requirements tabulated in Section A. Section M of these guidelines tabulates the weight
per foot (meter) for steel, copper, PVC and cast iron pipe.
A. All ductwork containing hazardous gases or exhaust unless specifically excepted by the
engineer of record.
B. All rectangular and square ducts 6 square feet (0.56 m2) and larger in cross sectional area
and round ducts 28" (711 mm) and larger in diameter.
Exception:
All ducts suspended by hanger straps 12" (305 mm) or less in length as measured from top of
the duct to the point of attachment to the structure. Hangers must be attached within 2" (51 mm)
of the top of the duct with a minimum of two #10 sheet metal screws. If any hanger in the run
exceeds the 12" (305 mm) limit, seismic bracing is required for the run. Note: A single support
location that meets the requirements of this exception does not constitute a seismic sway
brace location.
The exception also applies for trapeze supported systems if the distance as measured from the
point attachment to the trapeze to the point of attachment to the structure is less than 12" (305
mm). Note: If directional changes or offsets to equipment connections do not allow for
flexibility of the trapezed system (e.g. long offsets or flexible connectors) then the sys-
tem must be braced regardless of duct size or distance to the structure if the combined
weight per foot (meter) of all items is greater than 10 lbs/ft (14.9 kg/m).
Page 31 of these guidelines details the “12 Inch Rule” for ductwork.
In addition, to meet the 1997 Uniform Building Code CBC/2001, all of the following conditions
must be satisfied:
1. Lateral motion of ductwork will not cause damaging impact with surrounding systems
(e.g. other ducts, pipes, equipment, sprinkler heads etc.) or cause loss of system vertical
support.
2. Ductwork must be made of ductile material with ductile connections.
3. Vertical support connections cannot develop moments (e.g. swivel joints, eye bolts,
vibration isolation hangers, etc.)
2. Ductwork conforming to SMACNA standards, including but not limited to duct construction and
joint connections, shall be braced at a maximum transverse spacing of 40 feet (12.2 m) up to
0.25g, 30 feet (9.1 m) up to 1.0g, and 20 feet (6.1 m) up to 2.0g. Maximum longitudinal spacing

4. Rectangular and oval ductwork shall be stiffened at seismic brace locations with a trapeze
support member sized to carry the gravity load of the ductwork; a minimum of (2) threaded vertical
hanger rods and an upper support member over top of the duct. The trapeze and upper support
members must be fastened to the ductwork with #10 sheet metal screws spaced at maximum 12"
(305mm) centers. Refer to Pages E3 and E4 for sizing of the trapeze and upper support members.
5. Multiple ducts may be combined in a single framed and braced based on the combined duct
weight.
6. Wall penetrations may be considered transverse brace locations where duct is tightly blocked
unless smoke dampers are installed in the wall.

GENERAL NOTES (continued)
7. Floor penetrations of vertical duct may be considered transverse and longitudinal brace locations
where duct is tightly blocked and the distance from the floor penetration to the inside of the 90
degree turn horizontal is less than 2 duct widths. Floor penetrations may be considered transverse
brace locations where duct is tightly blocked unless smoke dampers are installed in the floor.
8. Devices mounted in-line and rigidly attached to the ductwork at both ends must be braced
independently from the ductwork if the unit weight is 50 lbs (23 kg) or greater or the unit weighs
between 20 lbs (9 kg) and 49 lbs (22 kg) and is separated from the duct with a flexible connector.
Flexible connections between the device and associated pipings should be provided or the unit is
attached to braced piping, and flexible piping connectors are not used.
9. Section N of these guidelines tabulates duct weight per foot (meter) for rectangular and round
ductwork of different sizes and gages.
10. If a 2 piece rod is used to support ductwork, minimum engagement of the rod shall be 1/3 of the
coupling nut length. Rods shall be run up tight in the coupling nut.
B. All cable trays with weights greater than 10 lbs/ft (14.9 kg/m).
Exception:
All conduit or cable trays suspended by individual hanger rods 12" (305 mm) or less as measured
from the to of the conduit or cable tray to the bottom of the support where the hanger is attached.
However, if any hanger in the run exceeds the 12" (305 mm) limit, seismic bracing is required for the
run. Note: A single support location that meets the requirements of this exception does not
constitute a seismic sway brace location.
The exception also applies for trapeze supported systems if the distance as measured from the point
of attachment to the trapeze to the point of attachment to the structure is less than 12" (305 mm).
Note: If directional changes or offsets to equipment connections do not allow for flexibility of
the trapezed system (e.g. long offsets or flexible connectors) then the system must be braced
regardless of conduit size or distance to the structure if the combined weight per foot (meter)
of all items is greater than 10 lbs/ft (14.9 kg/m).
Page 30 of these guidelines details the “12 Inch Rule” for suspended electrical systems.
In addition, to meet the 1997 Uniform Building Code CBC/2001, all of the following conditions
must be satisfied:
1. Lateral motion of electrical system will not cause damaging impact with surrounding
systems (e.g. other electrical systems, ducts, pipes, equipment, etc.) or cause loss of
system vertical support.
2. Electrical system must be made of ductile material with ductile connections.
3. Vertical support connections cannot develop moments (e.g. swivel joints, eye bolts etc.)
2. Conduits and cable trays shall be braced at the spacings shown in these guidelines. Transverse
brace spacing shall not exceed 50 feet (15.2 m) up to 0.25g, 40 feet (12.2 m) up to 1.0g, and 20
feet (6.1 m) up to 2.0g. Maximum longitudinal spacing shall not exceed 80 feet (24.4 m) up to
1.0g, and 40 feet (12.2 m) up to 2.0g.
3. Transverse restraints for conduit or cable trays shall be installed at general support locations.
Connection of the restraint to the support shall be at the support rod connection to the hanger or
cable tray.
4. Longitudinal restraints for conduits shall be attached directly to the conduit using a pipe clamp
hanger or a standard pipe clamp within 4" (102 mm) of a vertical support. Longitudinal restraints
for cable trays shall be at the support rod connection to the cable tray.
5. The charts in Section A or D may be used to determine seismic restraint components and their
anchorage for conduits or cable trays. Section M of these guidelines tabulates the weight per foot
(meter) of steel conduit with maximum conductor fill.
1. Vertical pipe, duct or electrical systems supported at each floor up to a five story building shall
be considered seismically braced if the penetration through each floor is tightly packed. Refer to
Page R1 for support details.
2. Vertical risers in an open shaft must be attached to the supports with connections sized to accept
the horizontal seismic loads. Support spacing shall not exceed 40 feet (12.2 m) up to 0.25g,
30 feet (9.1 m) up to 1.0g and 20 feet (6.1 m) up to 2.0g. Supports and connections must be

g. The attachment of the support rod to the structure must be capable of accepting the
gravity load in addition to the seismic tension load of 2200 lbs. (998 kg).
From Sheet E1 (E1m), when using an SSB-3 and a 3/4" (19 mm) diameter support rod:
The next few pages outline a procedure for the seismic brace layout of pipes, ducts and
conduits. Transverse and longitudinal braces indicated throughout are detailed in Section C for
Individually Supported Systems and Section F for Trapeze Supported Systems. A transverse
and longitudinal brace indicated at the same support points are defined as all directional braces
for trapeze supported systems.
Step 1. Separate the layout of the system into individual straight runs. A straight run is defined
as a section of pipe, duct or conduit between changes in direction. If an offset(s) occurs
between changes of direction it may be neglected if the distance perpendicular to the run is less
than the maximum offset length tabulated below.
The above Offset Charts are limited to pipe with welded, soldered, brazed or UL listed grooved
joints.
Ductwork maximum offset length is 2 times the duct width. Pipe with screwed joints, cast iron
pipe and PVC pipe maximum offset length is 2 feet (0.6 m) or as tabulated above.

LAYOUT OF SEISMIC BRACES (continued)
Step 2. Each straight run must be braced in the transverse direct (perpendicular to the
run) at each end.
Step 3. Add transverse braces, if required, to limit the spacing(s) to the maximum
spacing indicated in sections A and D.
Step 4. Each straight run must be braced in the longitudinal direction (parallel to the run)
with at least one brace. Transverse braces within the maximum offset length discussed in
Step 1 may be used in additional to or in lieu of independent longitudinal braces. The length
of pipe around a 90° turn (indicated as ‘P’ below) longitudinally braced from a transverse
brace = 0.9L-0.5T-A, where:
L = Longitudinal Brace spacing (From Section A or D)
T = The distance between Transverse Braces
A = Offset Length
Independent
Longitudinal
Brace
Step 5. Multiple changes in direction may be treated as one complete system. Straight runs
greater than the maximum offset length require 2 transverse braces. Straight runs less than
the maximum offset length may require as few as one or no braces. (See layout below)

LAYOUT OF SEISMIC BRACES (continued)
Step 6. Vertical drops to equipment must be protected with a transverse brace at the
final support point before the vertical drop. The distance from the transverse brace to
the drop must be within the maximum offset length of the system. The length of the
system braced from the transverse brace to the flexible connector is equal to 1/2 of
the maximum transverse brace spacing indicated in sections A and D. If this distance
is greater than 1/2 of the maximum transverse brace spacing, an additional brace is
required at the end of the vertical drop by attaching to the floor.

copper pipe, and 1" (25 mm) dia. and smaller steel pipe, unless specific analysis is
approved by the enforcement agency.
Step 7. If seismic braces installed at a 1:1 brace angle ratio from horizontal are
intermixed with 1.5:1 or 2:1 brace angle ratios, and the installer opts to reduce the brace
spacing as instructed on pages A1 to A4, the layout shall be as follows.

Example: For 3" diameter pipe at 0.5 g input and 1.5:1 brace angle ratio, the maximum transverse spacing = 40/1.67 = 23 ft.
For maximum brace spacing at 'g' forces other than those listed, divide the 1g spacing by the desired 'g' force.
Example: For a 0.74g input for 12" diameter pipe, transverse brace spacing = 20/0.74 = 27 ft. (Note: Transverse
and longitudinal brace spacing shall not exceed those stated in the general notes.)
Special Note: The Structural Engineer of Record shall verify the seismic loads applied by the SCB/SSB/SSBS to
the structure are acceptable. Refer to Pages H1, H2 and H3 for the maximum seismic loads.

* Maximum weight per foot for up to 1:1 brace angle from horizontal.
For up to 1.5:1 brace angle from horizontal, divide weight per foot by 1.75; for 2:1 brace angle, divide by 2.44.
Example: Reduce the maximum weight of 36 kg/m at 0.5 input for a 1.5:1 brace angle ratio as follows,
24/1.75 = 13 lbs/ft.
For maximum weight per foot at ‘g’ forces other than those listed, divide the 1.0g weight per foot by the desired ‘g’ force.
Example: Consider a 0.74g input, for a maximum weight of 12 lbs/ft from the 1.0g chart above, the adjusted weight
per foot = 12/0.74 = 16 lbs/ft.
** For trapeze supported systems requiring SCB/SSBS to SCB/SSB-3 and SSB-4, the maximum longitudinal brace
spacing = 2 times the maximum transverse spacing, not to exceed 80 feet. For trapeze supported systems requiring
an SCB-4, install SCB-4s transversely and SCBH-3s longitudinally every 40 feet. For individually supported systems,
the maximum longitudinal brace spacing = the maximum transverse brace spacing.
Special Note: The Structural Engineer of Record shall verify the seismic loads applied by the
SCB/SSB/SSBS to the structure are acceptable. Refer to Pages H1, H2 and H3

** For trapeze supported systems, the maximum longitudinal brace spacing is 2 times the transverse spacing
not to exceed 24.4 m. For individually supported systems, the maximum longitudinal brace spacing = the
maximum transverse brace spacing.
Special Note: The Structural Engineer of Record shall verify the seismic loads applied by the
SCB/SSB/SSBS to the structure are acceptable. Refer to Page H13 for the
maximum seismic loads.
NOTES:
Anchorage is based on attachment with Lag Screws, 1991 National Design Specification Tables 9.2A & 9.3B.
All SSB brace members tabulated are steel angle. Factory 2.7 mm formed channel strut may be used in lieu of steel angle.
All SSBS brace members tabulated are 12ga strut channel.

NOTES:
Rod stiffeners are only required at the seismic restraint locations.
Rod stiffeners are required when the length of the rod exceeds the maximum unbraced length.
A minimum of (2) rod clamps are required per support rod to attach the “Angle or Strut Channel Brace” to the support rod.
NOTES:
Rod stiffeners are only required at the seismic restraint locations.
Rod stiffeners are required when the length of the rod exceeds the maximum unbraced length.
A minimum of (2) rod clamps are required per support rod to attach the “Angle or Strut Channel Brace” to the support rod.
* Based on 40 foot brace spacing. For 20 and 30 foot brace spacing, multiply the weight per foot by 2 and 1.33, respectively.
For maximum weight per foot at ‘g’ forces other than those listed, divide the 1.0g weight per foot by the desired ‘g’ force.
Example: Consider a 0.74g input, for a maximum weight of 10 lbs/ft from the 1.0g chart above, the adjusted weight
per foot = 10/0.74 = 13 lbs/ft.
** For maximum unbraced rod length at a maximum weight per foot other than those listed, interpolate between
maximum unbraced rod lengths of equal diameter.
Example: Consider maximum weights per foot of 75 and 125 with respective maximum unbraced rod lengths of
65 and 51. For 100 lbs/ft., the maximum unbraced rod length = 58".

* The attachment point of the support rod to the structure must be designed to accept the addition of the
seismic tension load tabulated above and the gravity load of the item supported. THIS IS ONLY REQUIRED
FOR SUPPORT RODS WHERE THE SEISMIC SOLID BRACE IS ATTACHED.
Example: For a 10" diameter pipe supported by a minimum 7/8" diameter rod, assume the gravity
load is 800 lbs. The total tension load on the support rod
= 1445 lbs. (see table above) + 800 lbs. = 2245 lbs.
Select a concrete expansion anchor (Ref. Page X7), concrete insert anchor, or any other approved attachment
which can accept this total tension load.
To reduce the total tension load on the support rod to meet the allowable tension load of the attachment,
reduce the seismic brace spacing or the support spacing or both.
Example: Assume the total tension load on the support is 2245 lbs. from the example above. If the
allowable tension load of the attachment is 1400 lbs., reduce the brace spacing by 50% and the support
spacing by 20%. The revised total tension load on the support rod
= 1445 lbs. x 50% + 800 lbs. x 80% = 1362.5 lbs. < 1400 lbs.
* The attachment point of the support rod to the structure must be designed to accept the addition of the
seismic tension load tabulated above and the gravity load of the item supported. THIS IS ONLY REQUIRED
FOR SUPPORT RODS WHERE THE SEISMIC SOLID BRACE IS ATTACHED.
Example: For a 254 mm diameter pipe supported by a minimum 22 mm diameter rod, assume the gravity
load is 3.6 kN. The total tension load on the support rod
= 6.5 kN (see table above) + 3.6 kN = 10.1 kN
Select a concrete expansion anchor (Ref. Page X7), concrete insert anchor, or any other approved attachment
which can accept this total tension load.

Example: Assume the total tension load on the support is 10.1 kN. from the example above. If the
allowable tension load of the attachment is 6.3 kN, reduce the brace spacing by 50% and the support
spacing by 20%. The revised total tension load on the support rod
= 6.5 kN x 50% + 3.6 kN x 80% = 6.1 kN < 6.3 kN

Table 2 - ITW Ramset/Red Head Trubolt Wedge Anchor Ratings into Lower Flute of Minimum 20 gage (0.9mm) Steel
Deck with 3000 psi (20,680 kPa) Lightweight Concrete Fill, ICBO Report ER-1372, Tables 7, 8 and 14.
NOTES:
Anchors must be installed in compliance with manufacturer’s recommendations and the respective ICBO Report including
tabulated edge distances and spacings listed above.
For combined tension and shear loads on anchors, use the following equation:
5 5
PS 3
+
VS 3
≤1
Where:
PT VT
Ps, Vs = Applied Loads
Pt, Vt = Allowable Loads
Ratings may not be increased to accommodate periodic loads such as wind or seismic loads.

3/4 19 3580 15.9 1760 7.8 150 203
NOTES:
1. Anchor diameter refers to the thread size.
2. Apply proof test loads to anchors without removing the nut if possible. If not, remove nut and install
a threaded coupler to the same tightness of the original nut using a torque wrench and apply load.
3. Reaction loads from test fixtures may be applied close to the anchor being tested, provided the
anchor is not restrained from withdrawing by the fixture(s).
4. Test equipment is to be calibrated by an approved testing laboratory in accordance with standard
recognized procedures.
5. Torque testing can occur on an individual basis when test procedures are submitted and approved
by the enforcement agency. Tabulated values may be forthcoming once the enforcement agency has
more data to evaluate the feasibility of standard torque values.
6. The following criteria apply for the acceptance of installed anchors:
HYDRAULIC RAM METHOD: The anchor should have no observable movement at the applicable
test load. A practical way to determine observable movement is that the washer under the nut
becomes loose.
TORQUE WRENCH METHOD: The applicable test torque must be reached within 1/4 turn of the
nut for 3/8" (10 mm) diameter anchors and 1/2 turn of the nut for all others.
7. Testing should occur 24 hours minimum after installation of the subject anchors.

PACKAGED ROOFTOP AIR CONDITIONING UNITS
on RSC Spring Isolated Roof Curb with Seismic Restraints
Packaged Air conditioning units are located on the roof of many commercial buildings. Internal isolation
may not sufficiently reduce vibration and does not reduce noise. The best solution is our RSC Roof
Curb, a 3” deflection vibration isolated curb with an added noise reduction package.
Adding vibration isolators on top of a manufacturer’s sheet metal curb is a poor substitute for a complete
vibration isolated curb. Our RSC Roof Curb replaces the manufacturer’s curb and includes large diam-
eter 3” deflection steel springs and rubber pads in a welded steel housing to provide vibration isolation
and seismic and wind restraint.

HOUSEKEEPING PADS
A major cause of equipment restraint failure is the breaking up of housekeeping pads. Virtually all house-
keeping pads are poured independently after completion of the structure. In many cases there is no
mechanical attachment to the structural floor and the pad itself may not be reinforced.
The floor diaphragm vibrates vertically and under resonant conditions generates more than 1G. This
tosses the pad and the machine attached to it. As the pad crashes back it breaks up and the equipment
loses all anchorage.
Since housekeeping pad sizes and locations are not established until after a machine room floor is
poured, there is no way to cast in rebar pad stirrups. There is an undefined engineering area as to who
should design and what type of cast in restraints should be used. In designing the HPA anchor system
we have assumed the responsibility as part of our system certification. See Tables 6 & 7 on page FM30
HPA Anchorage Guidelines.
The HPA anchor [FM58] is manufactured in three sizes and has three anchoring capacities. The inverted
hexagonal pyramid locks into the cured housekeeping pad and has provision for passing 2 #3 rebars
through the holes on top for positioning the pad reinforcement system.

ATTACHMENT TO CONCRETE
Equipment is often anchored to concrete floors or housekeeping pads. IBC requires that all concrete
anchorage including cast-in-place anchors and post-installed anchors must be designed per the
requirements of ACI 318 Appendix D. IBC also requires that post-installed are pre-qualified per ACI
355.2. ICC Evaluation Reports list basic allowable values of anchors, required embedment and slab
thickness. These values are then used in anchorage calculations to determine the actual allowable
values of anchors.
Concrete anchorage can be difficult to qualify in thin slabs, decks and housekeeping pads. Edge distance
is critical and the requirements have increased over previous design standards. Concrete anchorage in
narrow piers is particularly difficult to qualify. Special concrete reinforcing design and coordination with
the project structural engineer may be necessary. Cast in place equipment anchors must be set before
pouring concrete housekeeping pads or floors, often before equipment is submitted or approved for
a project. Through-bolting is expensive and very difficult to coordinate. For cost and practicality post-
installed anchors are typically used to anchor equipment to concrete.
Mason Industries offers several types of prequalified post-installed concrete anchors as shown in Figure
1. Each type of anchor has unique installation requirements and attributes which are listed on the
following page.

FLEXIBLE CONNECTORS FOR EQUIPMENT CONNECTIONS
There are (10) different requirements in the IBC building code that address differential piping motion due
to seismic motion of the building. Of all the requirements piping connections to equipment may be the most
critical. Piping very seldom breaks in an earthquake, but broken equipment piping nozzles contributed to a
large number of equipment failures.
While required by code, there is very little guidance regarding the actual piping design or type of flexible
connector to be used at equipment connections. The design engineer can look at the overall system flex-
ibility and design the piping to accept the motion without overloading the equipment connection. This may
require pipe loops, flexible supports and anchors that must be installed exactly as designed. Or movement
requirements can be addressed directly with flexible connectors at the piping connections to simplify the
solution and limit dependence on overall system flexibility.
Mason Safeflex connectors can be used for vibration isolation and seismic protection at equipment connec-
tions where temperature, fluid type, system pressure and movements are acceptable. They are intended
for installation in mechanical rooms where access is readily available for monitoring and service. They are
not intended for installation in ceiling spaces or other concealed spaces. Safeflex connectors are designed
to extend to a pressure balance length and can restrain the piping pressure thrust without adding control
rods. On vibration isolated systems Safeflex connectors can be pre-extended to their pressure balance
length during installation to avoid short circuiting the seismic snubbers. The Safeflex angular movement
capability and low angular stiffness can be utilized to limit piping loads and moments on equipment con-
nections.
Please refer to Figure 1 which illustrates a solid pipe drop to equipment, a pipe drop with a Safeflex flexible
connector, a pipe drop with an FFL flexible braided hose and a pipe drop with a Mason Vee loop. Since the
piping header is braced to the deck overhead and the equipment is anchored to the floor, the building sway
and interstory drift causes differential displacement to occur between the piping header and the equipment.
The solid pipe drop will bend to accommodate the displacement but will develop the highest loads on the
pipe, pipe braces and equipment connections. The solid pipe drop also transfers a moment to the equip-
ment that can lead to equipment connection failure.
The Safeflex connector can accept some differential displacement but will also reduce the moment on the
equipment connection and reduce the bending loads from the pipe. Please refer to FM75 for more informa-
tion on the Safeflex connector.
A Mason FFL or similar model long braided hose selected to accommodate the full displacement can also
reduce the force on the equipment connection, with flexible support on the piping to allow the braided
hose to move laterally without axial restraint. Please refer to FM76 for more information on the Mason FFL
Braided Flexible hose.
A Mason Vee loop installed at the equipment connection may be the best selection of all. It will allow large
amounts of differential displacement in any direction and virtually eliminate loads on the equipment connec-
tions. Please refer to FM82 for more information on the Mason VFL Vee loop.

Buildings or portions of buildings that will move differently in an earthquake are separated by building
joints to prevent catastrophic structural damage. For very small amounts of relative displacement it is
possible for piping systems crossing building joints to operate without damage or special design.
For larger amounts of differential motion the piping system can be designed to accept the motion. A
typical pipe run is shown in Figure 1. The entire pipe runJOINT
BUILDING must be analyzed for possible excessive
motion problems and potential failure of pipe supports. Failure of rigid piping connections to EQUIPMENT

Pipe lengths and anchor loads can be quite large, and installing flexible connectors at the building joint
to take the differential motion may be a better solution. Braided flexible hoses, Safeflex connectors or
expansion compensators are not recommended. Instead we recommend Mason Flexible Vee loops. The
loops can be installed on one side of the building joint with supports and anchors designed to limit the
building joint motion at the loop. See Figure 3.

FLEXIBLE VEE LOOP
Figure 4
There are several advantages when using Vee Loops over traditional flexible connectors.
Advantage #1: Vee loops do not require anchorage for piping pressure thrust. This is a huge advantage.
All inline expansion devices must be installed in anchored systems. The forces on the anchors are a
function of the pressure x the effective area. In some cases the anchors must be designed for the test
pressures. This requires welded steel members to attach the piping to the building. And the building
must be designed for this continuous operating load. The Vee loop is pressure balanced and applies
zero pressure thrust on the building. Welded anchor members are not required. In most cases the
standard seismic braces can be used to act as anchors. The small forces allow the piping to be vibration
isolated without serious short-circuits.
Advantage #2: Floating flanges on both ends of the flanged Vee loop allow the Vee loop to be rotated in
any direction, to minimum space requirements and fit into ceilings and other confined spaces.
Advantage #3: The Vee loop design allows standard loops to be nested to minimize space and simplify
support.
Advantage #4: Vee loops have a very low spring rate. Mason Vee loops consist of (2) very flexible
braided hose sections connected by hard elbows. The hoses are designed to offer maximum flexibility
with close pitched corrugations. This reduces the spring rate of the hose, further reducing loads on
the structure. The low forces and subsequent lack of required anchors and guides represent a huge
advantage in installation and long term operation of piping systems. We have been able to use Vee
loops instead of more traditional expansion compensators on many projects. They are becoming the
new standard for both thermal and seismic movement allowance.
FM79 - Mason VFL Vee loop on a single pipe restrained with Mason SSBS seismic braces.
FM80 - Mason VFL Vee loop on multiple pipes support by a trapeze and restrained with Mason SSBS
seismic braces.
FM81 - Mason VFL Vee loop on a single pipe, supported by Mason 30N spring hangers and restrained
with Mason SCB/SCBH cable braces.
Refer to FM82 for more information on the Mason VFL Vee loop.
Refer to FM86 for the specification for the Mason VFL Vee loop.
For very large pipe sizes it may be necessary to utilize Mason ASG Sliding Guides at Vee Loop
locations. Refer to FM87 for more information.

FLEXIBLE CONNECTIONS FOR INLINE COIL PIPING CONNECTIONS
Broken piping connections on inline coils installed in ceiling spaces have caused a great deal of damage
in earthquakes. The small piping is typically unbraced. The duct may be braced or unbraced. In either
case the differential motion of the piping and coil section has caused problems. The piping itself does
not break; instead it is the smaller copper tubes connecting to the coils that have failed. This problem
has been generally addressed in several places in ASCE 7 and specifically in a bracing exception for
inline coils in section 13.6.7:
Components that are installed in-line with the duct system and have an operating weight
greater than 75 lb. (334 N), such as fans, heat exchangers, and humidifiers, shall be supported
and laterally braced independent of the duct system and such braces shall meet the force
requirements of Section 13.3.1. Appurtenances such as dampers, louvers, and diffusers shall
be positively attached with mechanical fasteners. Unbraced piping attached to in-line equipment
shall be provided with adequate flexibility to accommodate differential displacements.
Installing straight braided hoses at the piping connection can provide adequate flexibility for side to side
motions, but for all directional motion Mason Flexible Vee Loops should be installed. Figure 1 shows an
unbraced inline coil with Flexible Vee Loops installed on the piping at the coil piping connections.

The installation of Flexible Vee Loops is also required on inline coils that are seismically braced. Figure
2 shows the installation with Mason SCB/SCBH Seismic Cable Braces attached to a threaded rod and
horizontal strut assembly. The struts must be attached to the coil section housing carefully with sheet
metal screws.
Figure 2
Mason Industries has tested Flexible Vee Loops under a range of operating pressures and has published
the forces developed by the loop at 2” and 4” of differential displacement in all directions. See Figure
3. Equipment coil connections should be designed to accept these forces to insure that the piping
connection will remain intact in an earthquake.

PIPING RISER SUPPORTS AND SEISMIC RESTRAINT
Piping risers for most HVAC systems should be designed with welded steel or soldered copper pipe.
If standard grooved pipe couplings are used they must be pre-extended during construction to avoid
excessive expansion of riser when pressurized. This is a difficult process, so rigid type grooved
couplings should be considered. Riser clamps should be welded to steel pipe. Riser clamps can be
clamped to copper risers but a split coupling should be soldered above the clamp to eliminate slippage.
The water column load can be carried up the riser and shared by multiple supports to distribute piping
loads out to many floors. Since most risers undergo significant thermal change during operation
flexible SLF spring supports or 30N hangers must be used. In general springs with higher deflections
are used at locations with higher pipe growth to minimize the change in floor loads. Branch piping and
horizontal mains must be flexibly supported and designed to allow riser motion without excessive stress.
Pipe expansion/contraction will occur around a point of zero motion as defined by support stiffness
considerations (including riser supports, branch piping supports and main piping supports).
Risers may be free-floating or anchored. Mason ADA anchors can be used but they must be designed
for a theoretical no support load and to resist upward motion when water is drained from riser.
Mason VSG guides must be pre-extended to design clearances and held with a shear pin to facilitate
proper installation. VSG guides also allows angular offset of the riser to compensate for floor drift in
an earthquake. Guides support no dead load during installation or normal operation but will act as
emergency support in a catastrophic situation.
Mason 2” deflection SLF spring mounts are included on FM96. These are one example of the many
spring sizes and rated deflection that can be used as riser supports.
Mason VSG Vertical Sliding Guide product information is included on page FM98.
Mason ADA All Directional Anchor product information is included on page FM99.

FORM S-617 09/2008
RISER DESIGN EXAMPLE
The 4” CWS & R riser system shown on FM101 is designed per our recommendations.
These condenser water piping risers are designed to be installed at 50•F and operate at 90•F, so the
maximum temperature change is 40•F. The risers are a total of 95 feet in overall length. The change
in overall length due to thermal growth is small; less than 3/8”. But this small amount of expansion
would result in a potentially dangerous support condition in a non-engineered riser with pipe clamps
on each floor. As the riser expands the supports on the upper floors would lift off the floors, transferring
the riser loads to the lower floor supports, assuming the floors and pipe clamps could handle the
load. The relative stiffness of the clamps and floors are unknown. The resulting loads are completely
unpredictable.
Neoprene pads are not a solution. They are non-adjustable and there is no way to guarantee their
deflection at installation or operation. A 1/16” elevation change could double the floor load.
In this case Mason SLF-105 springs are the solution. They are installed at Level 2 and 6. The
diagram shows that they are to be initially adjusted to 1.4 inches spring deflection for a total support
load of 869 lbs. per pair of springs. Then as the riser expands the springs located on Level 2 will
deflect another approximately 1/8 of an inch and support 931 lbs. The springs on Level 6 will unload
approximately 1/8 of an inch and support 807 lbs. Mason ADA-75 Anchors are installed on Level 4 to
resist any inadvertent pipe motion. Under normal conditions there is no load change on the ADA-75
anchors which is at the zero point of the riser. The initial loads on the springs are set by adjustment
bolts and the final load is completely predictable. The flexibility of the spring will easily correct for any
variation in floor stiffness or pipe clamp stiffness.
Mason VSG-75 Guides are installed on Levels 1, 3, 5 and PH. Along with the ADA-75 Anchors they
will resist pipe sway during normal operation and provide lateral seismic restraint in an earthquake.
Maximum horizontal seismic load will occur at the PH due to the increased floor elevation at PH and
greater assigned load.
The notes indicate important design considerations and installation requirements including temperature
change, load definition, pipe clamp requirements, and branch piping and main horizontal piping support
requirements. In general, spring hangers are required to allow connected horizontal piping to move
with the riser.
This is a fully engineered riser system that will provide years of trouble free service. The support and
guide system is virtually maintenance free. Loads on the building are predictable and will remain
consistent throughout the life of the building.

RISER DESIGN AND PRODUCT SPECIFICATIONS
Risers shall be suspended from 30N spring hangers or supported by SLF spring mounts, anchored
with ADA isolated anchors, and guided with VSG sliding guides. Steel springs shall be a minimum of
0.75” deflection except in those expansion locations where additional deflection is required to limit load
changes to 25% of the initial load. Suspend branch piping and main piping runs from spring hangers
or support on springs mounts for the first (3) locations from the riser. Submittals must include riser
diagrams and calculations showing anticipated expansion and contraction at each support point, initial
and final loads on the building structure, spring deflection changes and seismic loads. Submittal data
shall include certification that the riser system has been examined for excessive stresses and that none
will exist in the proposed design.
Spring isolators shall be free standing and laterally stable without any housing and complete with a
molded neoprene cup or 1/4” neoprene acoustical friction pad between the base plate and the support.
All mountings shall have leveling bolts that must be rigidly bolted to the equipment. Spring diameters
shall be no less than 0.8 of the compressed height of the spring at rated load. Springs shall have a
minimum additional travel to solid equal to 50% of the rated deflection. Submittals shall include spring

SLRS mounts are designed with seismic and wind restraints that use neoprene bushings and maintain a 1/4” maximum air gap. These mounts feature load ratings expressed in G's, based on bolted connections, and require uniform support under the base plate. They are tested to meet OSHPD standards and are crucial for managing vertical and horizontal forces, ensuring stability under seismic loads .
Pre-approvals for OSHPD 2013 Code Projects are crucial because they ensure that vibration control products, such as those from Mason Industries, are compliant with established regulations. This approval signifies that the products have been tested and adequately meet safety and performance criteria, facilitating their integration into new projects without extensive additional testing .
Load capacity calculations for spring mounts under OSHPD criteria involve plotting horizontal and vertical forces, including translations and overturning moments. The point where these loads intersect must be within the OSHPD-rated load curve area, ensuring the design can handle prescribed loads under seismic conditions. This process is crucial for validating equipment stability in seismic environments .
Designing spring hangers for piping systems requires consideration of the spring's deflection capacity, ensuring it is no less than 0.8 of the compressed height at rated load. The hanger should include a rigid frame, rubber elements, and a steel washer at the bottom. The setup must allow rod swinging without short-circuiting the spring, ensuring stability and adaptability to movement and thermal expansion .
For adjusting maximum weights per meter for seismic restraint systems, if the brace angle from horizontal changes, the weight per meter must be adjusted accordingly. For example, for a 1.5:1 brace angle, divide the weight per meter by 1.8, and for a 2:1 angle, divide by 2.4. Similarly, to adjust for different 'g' forces, divide the 1.0g weight per meter by the desired 'g' force value .
In high-temperature environments, where temperatures exceed 240°F (115°C), it is recommended to use 10# (4.5kg) density fiberglass instead of neoprene sponge for split wall seals to maintain integrity and prevent failure at elevated temperatures .
Housekeeping pad anchors feature a ductile iron casting tapered hexagonally and threaded from top to bottom for attaching soleplates. This design differs from typical anchors as it integrates into the structural slab using a stud wedge anchor and allows for rebar passage, ensuring a stable connection between the equipment and building infrastructure, specifically tailored for accommodating the dynamic forces encountered .
For seismic cable brace hooks (SCBH) installation in spring-isolated duct systems, the guidelines include ensuring a 1/4" (6 mm) maximum clearance, having a seismic rebound washer at restraint locations, and providing additional upper support per the specified documentation. The installation should also adhere to brace angle limitations and include bolt tightening specifications as referenced .
Spring isolation curbs for managing rooftop unit seismic forces consist of adjustable, removable steel springs supporting an upper floating section, which is captured to resist forces. They include neoprene snubber bushings, added acoustical pads, and are constructed to be seismically anchored to the roof, with flexible flashing to waterproof the structure. Curbs are designed to provide support against wind and seismic forces .
Concrete pouring forms for vibration isolation bases should be type WF and include minimum reinforcing of 1/2” (12mm) bars welded on 6” (150mm) centers in layers. Bases must be at least 1/12 of the longest dimension or 6” minimum depth and incorporate height-saving brackets to maintain a 1” clearance below the base. Steel templates must be used to secure anchor bolt sleeves during concrete pouring .
