B-LINE FIG 4L 5 EG – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the load rating on the B-Line Fig 4L 5 inch sway brace attachment?
2015 lbs. That is the figure your engineer uses when checking the brace against the calculated seismic load for the zone of influence on that 5 inch main. If the calculated load at the brace point exceeds 2015 lbs, you need to shorten the spacing between braces or move to a higher capacity attachment.
2) Is a longitudinal in-line brace attachment the same as a lateral brace fitting?
No, and they are not interchangeable on the drawing. This Fig 4L is a longitudinal in-line attachment, meaning the brace runs parallel with the pipe and resists movement along the axis of the main. Lateral bracing resists side to side movement and uses a different attachment oriented across the pipe. A braced system needs both; specifying this part covers the longitudinal leg only.
3) Is electro-galvanized finish acceptable for an interior sprinkler riser, or do I need something heavier?
The Fig 4L here is steel with an electro-plated (electro-galvanized) finish, which is the standard choice for dry interior conditions such as concealed spaces, ceilings, and mechanical rooms. It is a thin sacrificial coating, so for exterior runs, parking structures, or corrosive or wash-down environments you should be specifying a hot dip galvanized or stainless equivalent instead.
4) How much clearance do I need above the pipe to install this brace attachment?
Allow for a 9.75 inch height on the attachment itself, measured on the fitting. In a tight ceiling cavity or close to a deck, check that dimension against your available space before the pipe goes up, because the brace member still has to land on the fitting at the correct angle once it is clamped.
5) Does the Fig 4L sway brace attachment come with the brace pipe and the structure attachment?
No. The Fig 4L is the pipe-end fitting only, ordered as one piece under part number FIG 4L 5 EG. You still need the brace member itself plus a structural attachment at the building side to complete the brace assembly. Order those separately and size the brace pipe to the length your layout calls for.
