Seismic Sway Brace System Cable braces are designed so when they are
installed with sufficient slack they do not interfere
Through the use of aircraft cable with swivel anchors, piping, with neoprene or spring isolator function but
ductwork and suspended equipment can be safely prevented from effectively control movement, preventing
swinging out of control during earthquakes or when exposed to wind. equipment detachment and excessive damage.

SCBA Assembly– Two SCB Swivel Anchors SRC– Seismic Rod Clamp with Plated
attached to Galvanized Aircraft Cable 7 x 19 Strand Core Nut and Bolt and Painted Clamp
Controlling sway is frequently not enough to insure safety.
Rod stiffeners such as angle attached with seismic rod
clamps (SRC) or strut channel attached with seismic rod
clamps (UC) prevent suspended rods from buckling from
vertical movements. Mason isolation hangers which have “C”
vertical limit stops should be used to minimize travel ANGLE SIZE
and reduce damage due to excessive acceleration.
These vertical limit stops are standard on all Mason “B”
precompressed (PC-prefixed) isolation hangers. LOCKING BOLT
