Designed for bracing pipe against sway and seismic disturbance. Versatile design allows for attachment at any angle and the ability to be used in a lateral or longitudinal bracing configuration. The pipe attachment component of a sway brace system used in conjunction with two PHD Manufacturing structural attachment fittings and joined together with a bracing element form a complete sway brace assembly.  Sway brace assemblies are intended to be installed in accordance with NFPA 13 and the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
