Overview of Pipe Support Solutions: Straps, Hangers, and Riser Clamps
In any piping system, proper support plays a key role in maintaining stability, safety, and long-term performance.
Since installation conditions can vary widely, different types of supports are used to match specific needs — from light-duty pipe straps to heavier hangers and riser clamps.
This article provides a straightforward overview of several commonly used pipe support solutions, with a focus on how they are structured, where they are used, and how to choose between them.
Pipe Straps for Light-Duty Applications
Pipe straps are typically used to secure smaller-diameter pipes, such as CPVC, copper, or light steel piping.
Depending on how the pipe needs to be installed, different strap designs can be selected:
· One-hole pipe strap (CPS01) for quick and simple fixing
· Two-hole pipe strap (CPS02) for improved stability
· 90° side-mount strap (CPS03) for edge or side installation
· Standoff hanger (CPS04) to maintain clearance from the mounting surface
These products are usually made of carbon steel with a pre-galvanized finish, offering basic corrosion resistance while keeping installation straightforward.
Pipe Hangers for Suspended Systems
When pipes need to be suspended, hangers provide stable support while allowing a certain degree of adjustment.
· Swivel ring hanger (LK01) is suitable for general suspension and allows vertical adjustment
· Clevis hanger (HG02) provides higher load capacity and more secure positioning
These types of hangers are widely used in mechanical systems, fire protection installations, and other industrial piping applications.
Riser Clamps for Vertical Support
Vertical piping requires dedicated support to carry the load and prevent unwanted movement.
· Riser clamp (HG03) is designed for vertical steel pipes and is typically installed below couplings or structural supports
This type of support is especially important in multi-story buildings and fire protection systems, where proper load distribution is essential.
Selecting the Right Pipe Support
Choosing the right support depends on several practical factors:
· Pipe size and weight
· Installation orientation (horizontal or vertical)
· Mounting structure (wall, ceiling, or beam)
· Environmental conditions (indoor or outdoor)
Selecting the appropriate support not only improves installation efficiency, but also contributes to the long-term reliability of the system.
