Pipe clips

dave82_2

Hi,

Ripped the old kitchen out at the house we are renovating and there are a few pipes I would like to clip.

Now as the pipes are already in place is there anything like this that screw to the sides http://www.screwfix.com/prods/15460/Plumbing/Copper-Tube-Accessories/Contract-Pipe-Clip-22mm-Pack-of-100

I can't screw through the middle as the pipe would be in the way.

I hope this makes some sense!!

Also these pipes are going to be boxed in. Whats the best type of wood to use so I don't get any issues with it rotting.

Cheers Dave

Hi,

I know them as side fix clips , but they seem to be called 'end fixing' flip top clips.

Try a local merchant first .

saddle clips or school board clips.
for boxing in, either cheap ply or plasterboard.

All suggestions are perfect. Thankyou :-)

If the pipe is so rigid that it will not move then it probably does not need clipping. I have found that it is very rare that you cannot spring a pipe sideways enough to get the single screw clip into place. But, as has been suggested, you need saddle clips.

Thanks just don't want to risk breaking anything my moving the pipes about too much.

Agree - use copper saddles. The link CH gave you also does saddles in plastic. But I'd just go to your local merchant to get them.

Cheers
