Mounting air pipe on block wall

[Cadman56]

I just purchased a new air compressor and now I need to mount some iron pipe to a block wall because I'll be locating the compressor at a different location than my old compressor. I want to keep the pipe away from the wall so that fittings/air filter/ regulator won't interfere with the wall. Any suggestions/pictures on how to do this?

Mount UniStrut channels on the wall. The Channel accepts spring loaded fasteners that move along the channel for adjustable fastening options.

Think McMaster-Carr sells it also.

Depending on how far away from the wall you want to get you could attach wood spacers to the wall with tapcons or toggles then attach the pipe with those "U" shaped clamps that they use for rigid electrical conduit. Or if you need to be farther away from the wall how about heavy duty shelving brackets attached to the wall then u-bolts for the pipe connection.

wall plates, all thread and split rings. Wall plates screw to wall with tap-cons, cut all thread to length of how far from wall, split rings hold the pipe. all available at home depot. cleanest way of doing it.

These conduit clamps will give you enough clearance for fittings. Easy and cheap.

In my shop, I will go for these.
Cheap, easy to mount and practical.

This is the cleanest way, except I hate Tapcons.

I know someone who has built an entire 2500 sq. ft loft with this stuff. It's really nice.

Thanks everyone for the great ideas. I knew I would get a lot of ideas here. I think what I'm going to do is get my filter and regulator then see what fittings I'll be using and then decide which mounting ideas or combination of ideas from this list would work best for me. Thanks.
I forgot to ask. Is "Unistrut" available in any of the big box stores?
