To help ensure the availability and operation of safety systems after an earthquake event, many building and industry codes now include requirements for the design and installation of seismic sway bracing for non-structural components, such as fire sprinkler, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems.
Cable Bracing
nVent CADDY cable bracing offers a straightforward seismic bracing method for mechanical, electrical, plumbing (MEP), and fire sprinkler systems, including CPVC piping. It is ideal when brace lengths exceed the 9’–7″ (3 m) limitation of rigid strut systems or when installation in confined or crowded spaces makes rigid bracing impractical.
The system includes high-strength steel cables that meet ASCE® 19 pre-stretching requirements, along with attachment fittings, swaged oval sleeves, installation tools, and convenient pre-assembled kits.
