How to suspend plumbing in stand

E.Rude · 09/13/2014, 03:19 PM

What can I use to support horizontal runs of pvc under my stand? It's a Marineland Monterey 200DD stand and the plumbing will have horizontal runs under the top of the stand (not near the vertical side supports).

I would go with a plastic hanger instead of metal for corrosion reasons. The hanger linked below or something similar should do the job.

I've seen those before. My plumbing won't fit snug enough against the stand for them to work.

Home stores should have vinyl straps that are used to secure HHAC ductwork should work if you can mount to the underside of your stand.

Thick zip ties

So I take it then that you don't have any horizontal cross braces between the front and back sides of your stand that you could attach the hangers to?

A picture of your stand would be helpful.

I've thought of using some sort of strap. I'm having difficulty figuring out how to attach it to the stand so it can be easily removed if I need to work on the plumbing.

Tank and stand will be delivered (hopefully) on Friday. I'm pretty sure the top of monterey stands are akin to a piece of plywood. I do not know if there are cross braces that support that piece of wood, but I do not think so.

Could use screw eye hooks and then use zip ties around the pvc then going through the eye hooks.

That's what i did to mount my UV sterilizer under my stand but above my sump.

J hooks they make them specific for each size. They snap onto the pipe. They look like a candy cane. They also have other ones that look like mickey mouse a circle for the pipe to go through then 2 hholes for screws. I used the Grey semi circle ones for conduit.

I say plastic/vinyl strapping. I got mine at the Home Depot.
