Secure Black Pipe To Wall--Offset Needed

[hammerlane]

Black pipe running vertically up wall. Say pipe is 3 inches offset from wall. What are these hangers called(pointed to with green arrow) that secure the pipe??

 

[hammerlane]

Guess I could just use blocking behind the pipe like below but was wondering what those clamps/supports were in the above picture

I can't tell in the picture, is that uni-strut or a pipe stay?

Uni strut:

Pipe stay:

I dont think it is unistrut. Never heard of a pipe stay but just looked it up and you may be correct.

Thanks

Maybe a ceiling flange, split ring clamp, and some threaded rod?

+1 on these. I would bet that is what is used in the picture you posted.. Can be found at Home Depot...

 

[y2khawk]

They also come in copper clad for those installing copper pipe

It looks like Hawk is on the right track..

That looks more like what is in the 1st picture. Thanks.

Do they come in PVC?

I used a brand called Sioux chief from menards , they worked awesome to hold 1" pipe and the threaded rod made it very adjustable.

Cant really see from your picture,but those other clamps are uni-strut clamps where I come from anyway.
You could also use a mineralac/minnie to support it depending on what you put behind to anchor it to.

When I was working in the petroleum equipment biz we use uni strut with pipe clamps.
I got a piece of scrape SS that I used to mount my air reg off the compressor

bingo!!!!!

Have no idea what picture you are referring to and no idea when you say "other clamps" what other clamps you mean.

If you are referring to the picture in post #1, that is not unistrut

 

[hammerlane]

I was able to obtain a close up photo of post #1's photo and Y2khawk hit the nail on the head.

Thanks to all that offered suggestions.

Those going to be for just the NG line to heater?

Or also for surface mounted air line using black pipe?

 

[hammerlane]

for me it will be for NG. Im in the planning stages of getting a Detroit Radiant LS Series 10 foot Infrared Tube Heater for my garage.

To get the NG into the attached garage, Im gonna punch thru the rim joist from the basement shown at the level of the green spot....but will be behind the refrigerator. Then run the black pipe vertical toward the ceiling.

 

[hammerlane]

Or I may come into the garage on the other wall depending on placement of the burner.

I used short sections of unistrut lag bolted to the stud, then a conduit/pipe clamp to support my piping system.

 

[CNGsaves]

Steevo, that's nice setup on your air line. As usual, your ideas and results are amazing.

For OP Hammerlane, curious what your garage size is and Btu of hanging radiant tube NG heater you are planning?? What pushed you over towards radiant tube versus a normal hanging NG heater??

I have a 3-car garage, the heater is going to be for the single bay which is the "gathering" area. A neighbor has a forced air hanging unit and if the garage door gets opend---out goes the heat.

I recently helped someone install 4 Detroit Radiant units on a job he was on. They were the double stage HL3 models.

Two were 30 footers and two were 40 footers. I like them so much I am going to get a 10 foot LS series from them for my garage

Cool . . . show us some pics when you're done.

Still curious how the Btu's compare between the two style heaters and "real world" comfort down where you'd be working on vehicles.

yep, Ive used minnies with a peice of conduit cut to space it out and a long screw, cheapest way I have found

 

[jeffmoss26]

good call on the minerallacs!

Will do with the photos

Yeah, you don't need the split ring though, just screw the threaded rod into the pvc.

Here is one of the 40 footers. Thinks its 150K Btu

Im running black pipe for NG on a reverbaray infrared heater and im wondering why do we need to a gap away from the wall for the pipe, cant we just use a c clamp and put it flat to the wall?

You can.

I used short sections of unistrut lag bolted to the stud, then a conduit/pipe clamp to support my piping system.

I like the unistrut and clamp method and first saw it a few weeks ago when at a local plumbing and electric shop. They had a few furnaces set-up on display and used that method for the gas pipe runs. I was looking at Home Depot and noticed the packaging for the clamps had "conduit" in the label description. Can these clamps be used on black iron pipe or only electrical conduit? I was wondering if there is specific unistrut clamps to use for black iron pipe.

You can be flat against the wall if the fittings you use and where you use them allow it.
