Apprentice question
Stop and ask
Stop. Get direction before you touch it.
A rigid brace should not pin or rub another trade line. Stop, clear the conflict, and revise the brace angle/attachment by approved direction.
['Metal-to-metal contact between a seismic brace and a high-consequence line is not acceptable field “clearance.” It can rub, wear, and damage the other system.', 'Hold the brace, identify the affected trade, and coordinate a revised brace angle, clamp location, anchor point, or route that keeps the brace independent of other utilities.']
