It’s a general hanger requirement. Not in the seismic section..

Where does the requirement to brace a sprig up at 4 feet come from?

Thank you-

George,

An arm over to a single sprinkler is defined as an arm over whereas when two 
sprinklers are served, it’s considered a branch line. Branch lines require 
restraint. If the arm over is to a sprig up longer that 4ft, the sprig requires 
restraint.

I am not aware of a requirement to restrain the arm over (but if it’s long 
enough….)

I’m sitting in an airport without a book so there might be other opinions

I have an armover that is 2'-4" in length. The SEOR is requiring me to put a 
diagonal brace on the branch line that the armover is supplied from and a 
restraint on the armover ( I had left a branchline restraint detail from my 
template and I probably should not have left it on with these small aromovers) 
When is an armover required to be restrained (if at all?). Could not find any 
specific length in NFPA-13 (2016 ed.)
