What code are you designing to? I believe none of the B31 codes address water load cases in any detail. B31E does apply SSRS for Earth loads, but water hammer loads bounce around the piping with vector loads at each elbow. You can ask your question on the Caesar II forum or google water hammer and Autopipe as they have demo videos.
