Eaton Introduces Catalog of OSHPD Pre-Approved Products to Simplify the
Specification and Submittal Process in Seismic Projects
HIGHLAND, Ill. … Power management company Eaton’s B-Line business today introduced a
new product catalog featuring a range of seismic bracing solutions pre-approved by the
California Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD). Designed to help
specifiers meet the current code requirements, the catalog – OPM-0052-13 – Fire Sprinkler
System Applications – includes a range of products, including many from the TOLCO product
line, suitable for commercial applications.
“We developed this new product catalog to simplify the process of specifying products to
brace fire sprinkler systems,” said Greg Shaughnessy, seismic bracing product manager,
Eaton’s B-Line business. “In addition to including a wide range of pre-approved seismic
bracing products to help end users meet the strict OSHPD-requirements for projects based
on the current California Building Code, CBC 2013, the catalog serves as a valid resource for
projects that fall under all of the previous versions of the code.”
The new catalog provides bracing details and load information pages. The numerous details,
load charts and product information are designed to function as effective submittal sheets for
projects under the jurisdiction of OSHPD or for any project that requires an engineer-stamped
submittal. Products in the catalog include a range of seismic bracing products designed for
use with fire sprinkler systems, including universal attachments with visual verification
features built in for easy layout, design and installation.
