B-LINE FIG 4L 3 EG – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does a Fig 4L longitudinal sway brace attachment actually do, and when do I use it instead of a transverse brace fitting?
The TOLCO Fig 4L is a longitudinal in-line sway brace attachment, meaning it takes the brace load along the axis of the run of pipe rather than across it. Longitudinal bracing resists the pipe moving lengthwise; transverse bracing resists it moving side to side. A seismically braced sprinkler or process main needs both kinds along its length, so the 4L is the fitting you order for the in-line brace points, not a substitute for the transverse brace attachments at the perpendicular points.
2) Is electro-galvanized sway brace hardware OK for my install, or do I need something heavier for outdoors?
The Fig 4L in this configuration is steel with an electro-plated (electro-galvanized) finish. That is a light zinc coating suited to dry, conditioned interior spaces, the usual case for concealed sprinkler mains above a ceiling. For a parking structure, a wet or corrosive area, or anything exposed to weather, spec a hot dip galvanized version of the fitting instead.
3) How much room do I need above the pipe for a TOLCO Fig 4L brace attachment?
Allow for a 7 inch height on the fitting when you are laying out a tight ceiling cavity or working near a deck. It weighs 2.68 lb per piece, which matters when you are pricing out freight or hauling a few hundred of them up to a floor.
4) What part number do I give my distributor for the 3 inch electro-galvanized TOLCO longitudinal brace attachment?
Order Eaton B-Line series TOLCO part FIG 4L 3 EG. The number breaks down as the Fig 4L model, 3 for the pipe size, and EG for the electro-galvanized finish, so a change in pipe size or finish changes the number. That is the only configuration this one covers.
5) Does the Fig 4L sway brace attachment come with the brace pipe and the structure end fitting?
No. The 4L is the pipe end attachment only, the piece that clamps to the 3 inch main and picks up the brace. You still need the brace member itself and a separate structure attachment at the other end, sized to whatever you are anchoring to (steel beam, bar joist, concrete deck, or wood). Budget those as separate line items on the takeoff.
