What size of pipe can toggle hangers support according to NFPA standards?

The appropriate size of pipe that toggle hangers can support, according to NFPA standards, is for pipes that are 2 inches or smaller in diameter. This specification is based on the need for toggle hangers to adequately support the weight and provide stability for smaller pipe sizes in various applications.

Toggle hangers are designed to accommodate a range of small diameter piping systems and are commonly used in various plumbing and sprinkler installations. Their design and material properties allow them to effectively manage the load and maintain proper alignment, which is crucial for the reliable operation of water-based systems.

Understanding the limitations of toggle hangers helps ensure that installations meet safety and performance standards, preventing potential failures that could arise from using hangers designed for larger pipes with smaller ones. This specification aligns with NFPA guidelines that seek to ensure safety in fire protection systems and other water-based installations.
