Does anyone make a J hook for pipes longer than 7"

[TT_Vert]

I am in the process of removing a drop ceiling and exposing/painting my floor joists in basement. Doing so opens up quite a bit more space but creates a problem where 7" 3" pipe J hooks won't reach. I'll need a good 14" or so for one particular pipe. I know they make straps but i'd like something better looking if possible. Googling I found nothing longer but you guys are the experts so maybe they're called something else. Failing that any suggestions for something that would look nice unlike metal and plastic band?


Thanks

Could cut a U out of plywood or OSB. Or tack something to the floor joist long enough that the 7" J hook works. Looking nice is a personal opinion that only you can judge. Lots of options though...

Google "pipe stand off". You can get the clamp end and the base end, then cut some allthread for however long you need.

that's an idea, thank you.

what kind of pipe, what size of pipe and whether it is waste or waterline would help

 

[TT_Vert]

3" PVC (3.5" OD). One is waste one is radon.

Here is the waste one, notice how low down it is to allow for appropriate slope into septic tank. The radon is a bit higher but not much.

There are multiple ways this can be done. Split ring clamp with allthread, a clevis hanger with allthread, or a band loop with allthread are just a couple of examples. We mainly use split rings for hanging from walls and clevis hangars for overhead work. Grainger has a good selection.

use "J" hangers with all thread and a lag bolt to 3/8 thread and a coupling

google anvil hanger - a pipe fitting supply house should be able to order whatever you need if they are not available on line

zip stick works well https://www.supplyhouse.com/Sioux-Chief-553-014-14-DWV-ZipStick-Extension-Hanger-Gray

Two ways I have done this.

One is to buy a long 2x4 and cut pieces to attach to the ceiling joists above the pipes. Make them long enough to hang down just below the pipes, and then use some PVC "U" shaped strap clamps, the ones with a mounting hole at each end of the "U", and attach the pipe to the 2x4 pieces with the clamps.

The other way is to buy some lengths of angle iron, the kind with the holes already drilled in it, and to also buy some exhaust pipe hangers from Pepboys that are big enough to fit the PVC pipes. Cut the angle iron to length and attach it to the ceiling joists above the pipes. Make sure the angle iron pieces are long enough to hang down just past the pipe. Then use the exhaust clamps to attach the pipe to the holes in the angle iron.

Both of these methods have worked out good for me. They don't cost that much, don't look too bad, and best of all are very solid.
