Pipes need support along their runs or they sag, knock, and stress their joints. Hangers are the simple hardware that keeps a line straight and quiet for decades.
The spacing
Horizontal pipes are supported at set intervals depending on the material, and the hangers go close to joints and changes of direction.
The type
Clamps, straps, and clevis hangers each suit a different situation, and the hanger should fit the pipe snugly without crushing it.
The slope
Drain pipes must keep their slope through the hangers, so each hanger holds the line at the right grade.
The anchor
Hangers fasten to solid framing, not just drywall. freezing winters put stress on exposed lines, and many older homes still have aging galvanized pipes In Minot, a pro supports the line so it never moves.
The slope
Drain hangers must hold the pipe at its slope, not just hold it up. A hanger that sags the line creates a low spot that clogs.
