Supporting Fire Protection Systems with Concentric Hangers
See how properly selected joist hangers can support fire protection piping while minimizing unwanted torsion on the structural steel joist.
Fire protection systems often require many repeated support points across large commercial buildings. A consistent hanger strategy can make these installations easier to coordinate and inspect.
Concentric hanger placement helps keep threaded rod aligned with the steel joist connection so the support is cleaner and easier to repeat.
Repeated piping supports benefit from standardized hanger locations, consistent hardware, and clear installation details.
Coordinate before installation
Review fire protection drawings, joist locations, hanger spacing, and product documentation before crews begin installing supports.
Early coordination helps reduce field changes and gives the installer a predictable connection detail.
