04.2 INSTALLATION OF CHILLED WATER PIPE SUPPORTS

04.2.1. GENERAL: Install hangers, supports, clamps, and attachments as required to
properly support piping from building structure.
04.2.2. Arrange for grouping of parallel runs of horizontal piping supported together
wherever possible. Install supports with maximum spacing.
04.2.3. Where pipes of various sizes are supported together by trapeze hangers,
space hangers for smallest pipe size or install intermediate supports for
smaller diameter pipes.

Expansion joints, expansion loops, expansion bends, & similar units.
04.2.7. Load Distribution: Install hangers & supports so that piping live and dead
loading and stresses from movement will not be transmitted to connected
equipment.
04.2.8. Insulated Piping: Comply with the following installation requirements.
a. Clamps: Attach clamps, including spacers(if any), to piping with
