mounting copper airlines to wall

[Hit-By-Thunder]

hey fellow GJ mates

need some help. I ran my 1/2" copper airlines in my upper storage area and have the lines dropping down through the ceiling of the storage and along the walls. The issue I have is the airlines are 1" away from the walls. Rather than take it all apart and put 2 - 45 degree couplers in, I would like to leave it the way it is. I do not want blocks of wood as spacers. Is there any other ideas and if so, can you post the pictures here? A big thank you from one GJ to another for helping out

Price may be higher in your area or avail from another source than Lowes

The copper "bell" or "van" hanger is what I would recommend. (Same item, just called different names by different people). The ones we typically use at work space the pipe 7/8" off the mounting surface.... so that would work perfect for you.

If you need a bunch.... it might be a lot cheaper to buy them at a plumbing supply house rather then lowes or home depot that sells them only individually. At the supply house they come 25 to a box.

I used these with short lengths of threaded rod:

and

Local building supply carries them.

hi, I don't know if you can find this in your area but here is what we use to secure copper or iron pipe.
this is what we mount to the wall http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/THOMAS-BETTS-Slotted-Channel-3ULW6

then here is the type of clamphttp://www.grainger.com/Grainger/CADDY-Strut-Cushion-Clamp-1RVK6

this makes for a professional installation and it is solid and SAFE. hope this may help, bob

Superstrut and cushion clamps. That is what is most common with pipe and conduit in industrial apllications.

great suggestion guys, thank you sooooo much.

I only need about 7-8. Bartle and Gibsons have what I need but like mentioned above, they only have 25/box. I am going to stop by some plumbing places and see if they have any loose to sell.

I'll keep yas posted as what I used
