How are you attaching hard plumbing?

choss · 10/16/2017, 07:41 AM

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 used these last time as they were cheap and worked perfect..

got them at home depot. Before that I used a hanger wrapped around a screw :-)

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.
