Bracing Systems
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. The innovative line of CADDY® Bracing Systems was developed to help keep fire sprinkler
systems intact after a seismic event and to minimize water damage resulting from leaks or ruptures.
CADDY Bracing Systems provide contractors with high-quality, engineered solutions, which include rigid bracing, cable bracing and rod
stiffeners.

Rigid Bracing
The CADDY® line of innovative rigid bracing products was designed to provide superior performance and meet the highest seismic
load requirements. The products have been designed with the end user in mind and provide contractors with labor-saving features
to promote quick and easy installation. The system of products supports lateral and longitudinal bracing and offers a wide range of
structural and pipe attachments.
• Patent-pending lateral braces eliminate need for multiple trips up and down ladders
• Adjustable design can be used with different brace pipe sizes, providing flexibility on the jobsite and reducing contractor inventory
• Snap-off bolt head helps enable easy installation and inspection of seismic sway braces
• cULus® Listed
• FM® Approved
• OSHPD® Pre-Approved (OPA-2629-10) to the 2010 California Building Code

Cable Bracing
CADDY® cable bracing is an ideal alternative to rigid bracing for fire sprinkler systems when brace lengths greater than 19’ - 8” (6 m)
are required or when confined/crowded spaces make rigid systems difficult to install. The system includes pre-stretched steel cable,
attachment fittings, crimping sleeves and related tools. The system can also be used to brace electrical, mechanical and plumbing
systems.
• Color-coated cable conforms to NFPA® 13 requirements and makes it highly visible and easier to identify cable sizes

Branch Line Restraint System
Traditional methods for installing branch line restraints in fire sprinkler systems are cumbersome and time-consuming. Contractors often
cut (and re-cut) threaded rod to precise measurements to restrain the sprinkler pipe with a loop hanger and surge restraint. Traditional
methods also commonly require five or more parts per restraint.
To avoid these labor-intensive methods, ERICO has streamlined the process and developed the Branch Line Restraint System, part of
the CADDY® line of hanging and bracing solutions for the fire protection market. Ideal for restraining 1” (25 mm) through 2” (50 mm)
branch lines, this innovative system is significantly faster and easier to install than current methods. It attaches directly to steel bar joists,
I-beams or purlins, as well as concrete and wood structures. The hardware is installed with only one tool, a 5/16” (8 mm) socket drill
driver, which provides significant labor savings and convenience. It features a simple, two-step installation process, allowing a time
savings of up to 80% compared to other methods.
Unlike most solutions that only accept 3/8” (M10) threaded rod, the versatile Branch Line Restraint System features a swivel attachment
that can be rotated to accept 3/8” or 1/2” (M10 or M12) threaded rod. This allows greater restraint distances from the pipe to structure
with 1/2” (M12) threaded rod.
The system meets the requirements of NFPA® 13, making it ideal for new construction applications. The total system is cULus® Listed
and FM® Approved, and has been pre-approved by the state of California (OSHPD OPA-2629-10).
