Support location and spacing are dependent on the pipe diameter, operating temperature of the system and the location of any concentrated stress loads (i.e., valves, and any other heavy system components). Proper support location is critical to ensure deflection is kept to a minimum. Hangers used must have an adequate load-bearing surface free of any rough or sharp edges that could damage the pipe. They must also not restrict linear movement of the system due to the effects of thermal expansion and contraction.
