Comprehensive fire protection solutions
Fire sprinkler systems are a critical life safety system in buildings to help protect lives and billions of dollars in property. When an earthquake occurs, much of the damage that is left afterward is due to the devastating effect of uncontrolled fires. A critical component of any fire sprinkler system in regions where earthquakes can occur, is a well designed and installed hanging and seismic bracing system.
Exceptional quality and design
For over 60 years, the fire protection industry has relied on TOLCO seismic bracing products, B-Line series pipe hangers and services. And today, our TOLCO seismic bracing attachments continue to lead the industry with compliance to the new UL203A standard for a 2.2 safety factor rating and improved load ratings. Our core seismic bracing products are made from cold rolled steel and in our home plant in Reno, NV, trusted by contractors worldwide to help combat damage from earthquakes.

What are branch line restraints?
As a component of a seismic bracing system a branch line restraint (BLR) performs a critical function. Its primary purpose is to prevent the movement of fire sprinkler branch lines which could cause damage to themselves, the structure or other nearby non-structural systems, such as air handling ducts, plumbing or electrical systems.
Is your current seismic bracing solution helping or harming your fire sprinkler system?
As a critical life safety system, fire sprinklers are relied upon to protect both people and property. In earthquake regions — where fires are frequently the most damaging consequence of Mother Nature’s tremors — a well-designed and properly installed seismic bracing system is an essential component to any fire sprinkler system. However, changing pipe material preference among some segments is sparking new concerns for the industry.
For Safety’s Sake: A seismic shift in risk reduction
In areas where earthquakes are common, seismic bracing is required to assist in fire suppression. To ensure stronger, more dependable bracing systems for sprinkler systems, Underwriters Laboratories (UL) recently updated its 203A Standard for Safety Sway Brace Devices for Sprinkler System Piping.
TOLCO seismic bracing UL203A update
To ensure stronger, more dependable bracing systems for sprinkler systems, Underwriters Laboratories (UL) recently updated its 203A Standard for Safety Sway Brace Devices for Sprinkler System Piping. While other manufacturers may have chosen to make no product changes and reduce their published catalog loads, Eaton has chosen to redesign its TOLCO bracing systems for sprinkler systems.
