pipe clips?

[pippo]

hello folks,

What is the best way to secure pipes with foam lagging to the under side of joists? I think the lagging for both the 15 and 22 mm pipes have 9mm walls so wouldnt fit in pipe clips. Im fitting the pipes new and would prefer to keep the lagging continuous along the pipes without breaks for clips. Any ideas?

thanks

Talon clips with spacers...page 1

the people in my house used brass pipe holder with a stem on it. looks expensive...

possibly made from

It stands off the wall OK

I have seen iron ones in plant rooms

JohnD,

That does look a little expensive for my poor ass lol.

GasGuru,

From the picture on that link, the spacers look like they allow room for the insulation against the wall, but it looks like the actual clip size will only allow for the pipe on its own. Or have I got that wrong?

the other thing you can do is cut partly through the lagging each side of the clip so that it goes over the outside (fix the pipes first, then push on the lagging)

Or these about £5 for 10

I think for cheapness I will use tallon clips n spacers and buy slit lagging and install after the pipes are fixed. With split lagging, do you have to join the slit after its on? and whats best for covering fittings? Some kind of wrap ?

Climaflex and similar are "partly" slit. If you can slide them onto the pipes during assembly, without opening the slit, this reduces the risk that they will gape open.

otherwise they mostly close up again. Have slits at right-angles to any bends. they make a tape you can use to hold any gapes shut.

at fittings, a good trick is to use the next size up of lagging (28mm is available, but not so popular). Or you can cut it into segments and tape up. Pack end-to-end joins tight as they may open up in time.


you can trim or mitre with a serrated knife.

What about the plastic clips used for 40mm waste pipe?

Use normal screw in clips, and just pop a little block of wood behind it. Takes 5 mins to cut the wood, and is cheap as chips...

Could be a plan. I suppose 22mm pipe with a 9mm thick insulation would be 40mm so it should work. Can those clips be simply screwed to the joists? wheres best to buy them?

and how does that solve the op question? he does not want to have to cut the insualtion where a clip is, i think the best idea is to use 40mm waste pipe clips
