not just for pipe clamps

he puts end caps on the pipe to protect the threads from something

End caps are to prevent the pipes from sliding off the ends. End caps stick up about 1/8 to 1/4 inch.



but to me it is somehwat of a fail

over engineered and it is not made of wood

Over engineered to screw some flanges to the floor beams and screw some pipes into the flanges? Seems very simple and easy to me. All of your woodworking machines are made of metal. Are you a worthless loser of a woodworker because of it? The clamps aren't wood either. Metal clamps should be stored on metal pipes.


a few scraps and the same solution could be made

I don't like it because the clamps aren't easily available. They are up high. Hard to reach. And getting some of the inside ones is not easy. Do you have to remove all the outside ones to get the ones on the inside? Or monkey around and try to knock the one interior clamp up 6 inches to try to get it out? Just not as easy as having them all in a line leaning against a wall.

I dunno about him, but I can touch the overhead subfloor in my
basement while standing flatfooted, so this is a non-issue. And if
all the clamps stored on a given rack are the same, why do you need to
get the inner one first?

I have 9' ceilings. So you're going to build a separate hanger for
each length? That works but it takes a lot more beams. I'm not sure
about putting a lot (any, in my case) torque on the (engineered)
joists. I much prefer wall hangers.
