The peak ground acceleration need not be the acceleration used in design.
There's usually an amplification factor that considers how close the piping system's natural frequencies are to the supporting structure's natural frequencies, a response modification factor to address the piping ductility, an importance factor and the elevation of the piping in the supporting structure.
The terms I mention are from ASCE 7. Your local design code may be different.
