Table 313.3
Cast-iron hubless shielded coupling
" every other joint, unless over 4 feet then support each joint ¹ ² ³ ⁴ "
I would like to read your interpretation of this code. I've been told that the 4 foot piece still needs support, but wouldn't that piece be the "other" in "every other joint"
Seems that 2 hangers per the 18" max from the joint for support is a bit overkill for a 4 foot section!! And 1 hanger is technically out of code right. I've tried every other joint only in cases where I would like to have the pipe line up esthetically ONLY to get talked down to by an inspector that says it needs support.
Also does anybody get to tell their respective inspectors to FO when we know their full of BS
