          1.4SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
 
          A.Contractor General Requirements:
          1.Incorporate in construction pipe hangers and supports to manufacturer's recommendations utilizing manufacturer's regular production components, parts and assemblies.
          2.Comply with maximum load ratings with consideration for allowable stresses prescribed by ASME B31.1 or MSS SP-58.
          3.Provide supports, guides and anchors that do not transmit unacceptable heat and vibration to building structure.
          4.The selection of pipe hangers and supports shall be based upon the overall design concept of the piping systems and any special requirements, which may be called for in the specifications. The support systems shall provide for, and control, the free or intended movement of the piping including its movement in relation to that of connected equipment. (Extracted from ANSI/MSS-SP69, 2003, Page 1, Section 4.2, with permission of the publisher, the Manufacturers Standardization Society.)
          5.Provide for vertical adjustments after installation of supported material and during commissioning, where feasible, to ensure pipe is at design elevation and slope.
 
          B.Selection of Hangers and Supports for Pipe Movement:
          1.Select hangers and supports to perform under all conditions of operation, allowing free expansion and contraction, and to prevent excessive stresses being introduced into piping system and connected equipment.
          2.Angularity of rod hanger resulting from horizontal movement of the piping system from cold to hot positions shall not to exceed 4 degrees from vertical.
          3.Where horizontal pipe movement is greater than 1/2 inch (12.7 mm), offset pipe hanger and support so that rod hanger is vertical in hot position.
          4.Where significant vertical movement of the pipe occurs at the hanger location, a resilient support must be used. Selection of resilient supports shall be based on permissible load variation and effects on adjacent equipment. Support selection for typical load variations are shown in Table 2 of MSS-SP-69. Load and movement calculations shall be made for the proper selection of spring hangers. Vertical movement and load transfer from riser expansion to horizontal runs shall be given consideration when applying spring hangers. Spring Cushion Hangers may be used where vertical movement does not exceed 1/4 inch (6 mm), and where formal load and movement calculations are not required. Variable spring Hangers shall be used for all other resilient support requirements. Constant Support Hangers shall be used on piping systems where the deviation in supporting force must be limited to 6 percent and which cannot be accommodated by a Variable Spring Hanger. (Extracted from ANSI/MSS-SP69, 2003, Page 7, Section 7.4 and 7.4.1 to 7.4.3, inclusive, with permission of the publisher, the Manufacturers Standardization Society.)
 
          C.Hanger Spacing: (Extracted from ANSI/MSS-SP69, 2003, Page 8, Table 3, with permission of the publisher, the Manufacturers Standardization Society.)
         
Anvil International Hangers and Supports
 
          D.Pipe Attachments for Insulated Lines:
          1.The connections to pipe attachments shall be outside the insulation so that movement of the line shall not cause damage to the insulation. Insulation protection shields shall be provided to protect the vapor barrier of the insulation on cold lines. Under no circumstances shall hangers, supports or guides be applied directly to horizontal pipe or tubing on vapor barrier lines. For cryogenic piping systems, shields incorporating rigid, high-density polyurethane foam inserts or other load bearing insulation should be used. The support should include means for maintaining vapor barrier integrity. Because of the temperature/compressive strength relationship of polyurethane foam, the recommended shield designs must be selected to accommodate loading conditions at both the installation and operating temperature. (Extracted from ANSI/MSS-SP69, 2003, Page 10, Section 10 and 10.1 to 10.3, inclusive, with permission of the publisher, the Manufacturers Standardization Society.)
          2.Deviation to the above is permissible when the Anvil Fig 260 ISS (Insulation Saddle System) is used when proper insulating techniques are employed including the use of mastic and caulk on all insulation edges, and final taping.
 
          E.Recommended Minimum Rod Diameters for Single Rigid Rod Hangers: (Extracted from ANSI/MSS-SP69, 2003, Page 9, Table 4, with permission of the publisher, the Manufacturers Standardization Society.)
         
Anvil International Hangers and Supports
          1.(1) For calculated loads, rod diameters may be sized in accordance with MSS SP-58, Table 3 provided Table 1 and Section 73 of MSS SP-58 are satisfied.
          2.(2) Rods may be reduced one size for double rod hangers. Minimum rod diameter shall be 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) (M10).
          3.(3) Columns noted refer to Table 3.
 
          F.Anchors Guides and Restraints:
          1.Anchors, guides and restraints shall be located by the Engineer responsible for piping design. Should the need or the desirability of relocating, eliminating or adding anchors, guides or restraints arise; such changes shall be brought to the attention of the Engineer for consideration and approval.
          2.Anchors, guides and restraints shall be designed for imposed loadings as determined by the Engineer. For guided systems, in the absence of specified lateral loads, the guide shall be designed for 20 percent of the dead weight load based on the spans listed in Table 3, with a design load of 50 lb (0.22 kN) as a minimum.
          3.For pressure piping with joints not having a restraining design, other positive restraining means such as clamps, rods and/or thrust blocking shall be used to maintain the integrity of the joints.
          4.The necessity for, and the location of, shock suppressors and seismic control devices shall be as determined by the Engineer responsible for piping design.
          5.The location, type and number of corrective devices which may be necessary to control any unforeseen vibrations, as determined after the piping is in service, are not a part of this standard.
          6.Refer to MSS SP-127 for the design, selection, and application of the bracing piping systems subject to seismic - wind - dynamic loading.
          7.(Extracted from ANSI/MSS-SP69, 2003, Page 11, Section 13 and 13.1 to 10.6, inclusive, with permission of the publisher, the Manufacturers Standardization Society.)

          ** NOTE TO SPECIFIER ** Fig 260 ISS (Insulation Saddle System). Used for copper or steel pipe systems, the revolutionary Figure 260 Insulation Saddle System saves time and money by eliminating wood blocks, shields and costly hanger adjustments. It is ideal for use with chilled and hot water systems with a temperature range from 40 degrees F (4.5 degrees C) to 200 degrees F (93 degrees C). Made from high impact glass reinforced poly-propylene, the saddle comes pre-assembled with 2 inches (52 mm) thru 16 inches (406 mm) clevis hangers. It can also accommodate up to 2 inches (52 mm) of insulation in larger sizes and has a flammability rating of VO per ASTM test UL94. Unlike the old fashion wood block technique, the Fig 260 ISS Insulation Saddle System spreads the load over a larger surface of the hanger, which eliminates wood blocks, and shields and hanger point loading. With this new system, the user need only mastic and caulk at the insulation seams at the saddle to create a positive vapor barrier. .Delete if not required.
