It was originally set up that way to eliminate "Trapeze" Hangers but it usually cut down on the number of Branch Lines. The idea being that from a labor point of view you were reducing the number of trips across the building. As Hydraulic Calculations became more of a factor in our design, sometimes we could save a pipe size in the lines by using more lines...especially in a Grid. I don't think its written anywhere in the standards that I recall. John W.

I actually have an architect that would like to see it in writing... Brian Harris, CET BVS Systems Inc.
