Code Change No: M15-12
Original Proposal
Section(s):
305.4, Chapter 15
Proponent: Robert O’Neill; David Thompson, Manufacturers Standardization Society, representing
Manufacturers Standardization Society
(dthompson@mss-hq.org)
Revise as follows:
305.4 Interval of support. Piping shall be supported at distances not exceeding the spacing specified in
Table 305.4, or in accordance with MSS SP-69 ANSI/MSS SP-58-2009.
Add new standard to Chapter 15 as follows:
ANSI/MSS SP-58-2009
Pipe Hangers and Supports –Materials, Design, Manufacture, Selection, Application, and Installation
Reason: In 2009, SP-58 was revised (including the title) to comprehensively combine and incorporate all of the content of five
Pipe Hanger and Support standards into a single document; specifically including all of the information from ANSI/MSS SP-692003, Selection and Application; MSS SP-77-1995 (R 2000), Guidelines for Pipe Support Contractual Relations; MSS SP-892003, Fabrication and Installation Practices; and MSS SP-90-2000, Guidelines on Terminology for Pipe Hangers and Supports.
On February 11, 2011, the revised SP-58 was approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) as an American
National Standard (ANS). The new title is ANSI/MSS SP-58-2009, Pipe Hangers and Supports –Materials, Design,
Manufacture, Selection, Application, and Installation. The aforementioned SP-69 will not be revised (will “sunset” by 2014)
and SP-77, 89, and 90 were withdrawn in 2010. This ANSI/MSS SP-58-2009 edition can officially be utilized and
referenced in place of the aforementioned Standard Practices.
Cost Impact: The code change proposal will not increase the cost of construction other than the minimal difference in cost to
acquire the ANSI/MSS SP-58-2009 standard document.
Analysis: A review of the standard proposed for inclusion in the code, [ANSI/MSS SP-58-2009] with regard to the ICC criteria for
referenced standards (Section 3.6 of CP#28) will be posted on the ICC website on or before April 2, 2012.
