Installation
Support brackets shall be installed in accordance with this guidance
- Pipelounge brackets are designed to support horizontally arranged insulated refrigerant pipes.
- Uniform distribution of insulated pipes across the full width of each bracket.
- Select each bracket width to suit the number of supported pipes.
- Maximum load of 50kg per bracket when not supported by a strut framing system designed in accordance with the relevant manufacturer’s printed instructions for the final load.
- Use the Pipelounge joining clip when connecting multiple brackets horizontally across a steel strut framing system.
Single bracket arrangement
Multiple horizontal bracket arrangement
- Vertically stacked brackets shall each be connected directly to the hanging rods.
- Provide brackets at maximum 1500mm intervals along the length of the supported pipework and a maximum of 200mm from each change in direction.
- Secure insulated pipes to each bracket by hook-and-loop fastening straps. Do not compress the pipe insulation material and allow independent longitudinal movement of each pipe through the bracket.
- Select the length of each fastening strap to surround the entire perimeter of the bracket and supported pipes, plus a minimum 100mm overlap.
Multiple stacked bracket arrangement
- Affix each bracket directly to the building structure by high tensile M10 threaded rod connected to both sides of the bracket.
- Secure each bracket to the hanging rod with flanged nuts from above and below.
- Trim and file hanging rods to align with the underside of the bracket to prevent injury.
- Where seismic restraint of the support system is required, fit brackets over a 40mm strut framing system, with a certified seismic restraint system applied directly to the strut.
- Adjust the strength and span of the selected anchoring and strut systems to accommodate the load of multiple stacked or joined brackets.
- Provide additional protection, independent and external to the bracket and supported pipework where brackets are installed in a location subject to sunlight, wind, rain, snow and/or ice.
This guidance has been prepared with reference to the following reports: 13099 Construction Regulation Advice, AED 23/11/23 LS24-0038 LT Load Test Report, LMATS 11/01/24 23985 SA1a CS/cs Assessment of Structural Suitability, CSE 16/5/24
Contact Pipelounge for further information and guidance where the circumstances of an installation cannot accommodate these instructions.

- Q: Can I install the Pipelounge brackets without a strut framing system?
A: No, the maximum load of 50kg per bracket is when not supported by a strut framing system designed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. - Q: How far apart should the brackets be installed?
A: Provide brackets at maximum 1500mm intervals along the length of the supported pipework and a maximum of 200mm from each change in direction.
