Sprinkler Spray Sway Brace Chart
Sprinkler Sway Brace Chart
Bull Moose Tube has a 60-year history of being a thoroughly knowledgeable supplier of the products we sell. And as one of the leading manufacturers of sprinkler pipe in North America, we have quite a bit of knowledge to share.
Part of that process involves providing thorough technical data to fire protection contractors, engineers, architects, fire prevention officers, municipal agencies, and others involved in fire suppression systems.
A simple but vital component of many fire sprinkler systems is the sway brace. Sway bracing has a vital purpose in systems requiring seismic protection. The sway braces (in conjunction with other devices such as anchors and restraint hangers) help to control horizontal movement of the fire sprinkler pipe in order to withstand the stresses of a seismic event.
The braces—as well as all of the constituent parts of a fire sprinkler system)—have maximum allowable loads. This is the maximum amount of force that any part of the brace can handle. We have developed this chart to aid professionals who are evaluating NFPA 13 seismic bracing requirements.
Bull Moose Schedule 40 sprinkler pipe is a mainstay in the fire protection field. We provide several exclusive technologies to the industry, including our EddyGuard II internal coating. This antimicrobial coating helps prevent the bacterial growth inside of sprinkler pipe that can interfere with proper flow.
Another Bull Moose Tube exclusive is Redd-Pipe, which arrives onsite fully painted and stenciled for UL/FM and AHJ compliance.
Our Eddy Pipe family of products (such as Eddy Flow, and EddyThread Schedule 40) are long-time proven performers in the fire suppression industry.
Bull Moose sprinkler pipe is available in both standard and custom lengths and diameters. Products are available to meet ASTM A135 and A795 Type E, Grade A., and to comply with NFPA-13, 13R and 14. All our sprinkler pipe undergoes NDT weld testing.

FINISHES AND COATINGS
- Eddy Flow Sprinkler Pipe receives an OD mill coating of water-based paint which has corrosion protection consistent with a painted carbon steel product (i.e., it would be expected to resist corrosion for an extended and indefinite period in a clean and dry environment and, as environmental conditions deteriorate, the corrosion protection would also diminish).
- Eddy Flow Sprinkler Pipe (black) receives an ID mill coating of Eddy Guard II MIC preventative coating. EG2 has been tested at independent laboratories to resist bacterial growth and maintain minimal bacterial count after multiple flushes (25) of the pipe.
- Eddy Flow Sprinkler Pipe when Hot Dip Galvanized by ASTM A123 and supplied by Bull Moose Tube is UL listed and FM approved.
PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION
- Every length of Bull Moose fire sprinkler pipe features large, easy-to-read, continuous stenciling, clearly identifying the manufacturer, type of pipe, size, and length.

Antimicrobial Protection
To Keep Pipes Flowing Freely
Bull Moose Tube’s exclusive EddyGuard II® bacteria-resistant MIC coating was the first in the industry to investigate CPVC compatibility via certified 3rd-party lab testing—with further testing through Spears Manufacturing, NSF and FM. Since the introduction of EddyGuard II® in 2007, there’s been not one claim of CPVC compatibility problems, not one claim of MIC problems. That’s solid Bull Moose reliability.
