Support for pipes?

[jlcoop277]

Starting to setup my plumbing. Running bean animal with 1.5" PVC.
Do I need to brace my pipes? Is the idea to keep torq off the bulkheads?

It really depends on how long you are running the pipes.

You can find these at lowes/home depot if you are still worried.

All plumbing on an aquarium needs to be adequately supported. A broken pipe means a bit of water on your brand new carpet--or worse. Torque kept off the bulkheads, and torque kept off the pipes themselves.

They're running down about 22"
I know I can brace them up, just wondering if I really need to. It looks like most do, just wondering if it's more for peace of mind or if it was needed
