Water Supply & DistributionPregunta 38 de 120
A 40 ft horizontal run of 3/4 in copper water tube is installed in a ceiling. Using a maximum horizontal support spacing of 6 ft for copper 1-1/2 in and smaller, what is the minimum number of hangers required?
a.5 hangers
b.6 hangers
c.7 hangers
d.8 hangers
Explicación
40 ft divided by 6 ft equals 6.67 spaces, and since a partial space still needs a hanger you round up to 7. Answering 6 truncates the fraction and leaves a span longer than 6 ft. The 5 hanger answer assumes 8 ft spacing, and 8 hangers assumes the 5 ft spacing used for cast iron, not copper.
