Hi,

Getting near to running my waste pipes. I just noticed that all the pipe
clips for ABS waste seem to be designed to stand the pipe off the wall a
good 15-20mm.

As I'm battening out the entire wall in that area (long airing cupboard) to
carry an infinite amount of copper pipe (easier to batten then clip to the
wood) can you get simple saddle clips that just hold the pipe against
whatever the clip is fixed to? Joints etc would occur between battens.

Of course I can fit the clips between battens, but that's defeatist!

I've googled on and off for a week but can't find anythign

Something like this but bigger:

I needed to do the same thing behind some kitchen units, I made some out of
the steel band they put around packing cases or palletised things. It was
ideal, about half inch wide say half mm thick and easily bent in a vice and
also easy to drill.

Ah the DIY solution. Sounds like a job for a bit of brass strip then (don;t
have steel band to hand). I'll do it that way

Thanks for the idea!

Cheers

You can get perforate galvanised steel strip sold as builder's band from
screwfix. Useful for all sorts of things.

Ah - that'll do. Thanks John

Saves the drilling and it's cheaper.

May be as stupid idea but, if it won't be seen, what about a cable
tie? Could be mounted through a staple or something....

WF Electrical sell 'All Round Band' like a continuous strip of figure
of 8's or a plastic covered metal strip with holes in it. Cut off
however long a piece of it you need to make the saddles.

Someone mentioned the steel band used around packing cases - Probably
just as good and much easier to drill the none metallic strip used for
a similar purpose.
