How are you attaching hard plumbing?

All,

I'm in the process of finishing up some hard plumbing for my new build. I'm using 1" PVC for my overflow, and 3/4" PVC for my returns. I wanted to get some advice on best mounting or hanging options to support the pipes under my stand, along walls, etc.

standard plumbing hangers work great.

I just sort of peruse the plumbing/electrical sections until I find the combination I need this time around. And pick up a few extras - it'll save you a trip back when you run short.
