Abstract
A lateral sway brace is disclosed for bracing a service pipe disposed at a predetermined distance from a building support. The lateral sway brace can include a pipe coupler securable to the service pipe and a brace coupler securable to a brace member. The brace coupler and the pipe coupler are operable with the brace member to laterally support the service pipe from the building support. The brace member has a length less than the predetermined distance between the service pipe and the building support. The lateral sway brace can also include a length adjustment mechanism operable with the brace coupler and facilitating a variable length to accommodate a difference between the predetermined distance between the service pipe and the building support and the length of the brace member.
