Homeowner Forum / Construction / January 2005horizontal standoff for 3/4" copper pipe?
I'm looking for some mounting hardware for 3/4" copper pipe that will keep it a couple inches from the wood. I want to do it this way so that the pipe can be completely insulated and not touch the wood. The pipe will run horizontally and attach to a joist. What are the brand & product names I need for this application?  SignatureJedd Haas - Artist http://www.gallerytungsten.com http://www.epsno.com Kendorf, Unistrut.

Did a google search for pipe standoff and this looks like something you could use http://news.thomasnet.com/fullstory/454580/1728 I am not affilated with them or never have used the product. > I'm looking for some mounting hardware for 3/4" copper pipe that will keep > it a couple inches from the wood.

They're dirt cheap, just bend them around to put the tubing wherever, and sweat them to the copper to keep them quiet. If hangers aren't sweated, they will probably make some noise as the tubing goes through thermal expansions. bill > I'm looking for some mounting hardware for 3/4" copper pipe that will keep > it a couple inches from the wood.

Or...get for larger size pipe and add a wrap of self-stick felt around the pipe, under the hanger. The copper will move laterally with expansion from heating and cooling and should be allowed to do so or it will be under a strain or make noise. Pipes should never be "trapped" against anything or come in contact with the wood to avoid sound transfer to the structure. Dana the Plumber Another way to do this is plumbers tape. This is the inch wide steel strap with the holes in it. Your pipe insulation comes split so the split would just go around the strap.

Plumbers tape. Nail it to a joist, wrap it around the pipe, then nail it to the next joist. I would use the vinyl type, or maybe copper if you could find it. I would be worried about galvanic corrosion with the galvanized straps? 3. Pipe straps with blocks of wood as spacers between the joists and pipe straps? I would use screws long enough to go through the straps and spacer blocks into the joists. This would work even if you don't have two joists you are working between. 4. You might also check to see if small "J" hooks are available for 3/4" pipe? I think they're made mostly for horizontal support, but if you simply need to steady the pipe (i.e. this isn't the only support) they would probably work for a vertical application too. 5. If you simply need to "steady" the pipe and space it away from the joists, how about a simple board spanning between joists with a hole for the pipe to run through? 6. If the vertical run isn't very long, just support the horizontal runs above and below and don't worry about supporting the vertical section. 7. For an unusual solution, how about running the pipe AND insulation through a larger diameter pipe (i.e. 1.5" or 2") and use simple straps to screw that to the joist. It could be continous the length of the run, or you could just cut little segments to locate periodically along the run. Best bet is to run to the local home center or plumbing supply and see what is available. You'll surely find something there you could use. Hope this helps... Anthony |
