Supply Hangers (CTS)

Oatey® offers a comprehensive range of pipe support products to ensure secure and efficient plumbing installations. For supply lines, Oatey provides Supply Hangers (CTS) which are specifically designed to support copper, CPVC and PEX piping. These hangers are crucial for maintaining the integrity of your plumbing system, alleviating issues like water hammer and ensuring that pipes are properly secured to walls, ceilings or floors.

Oatey’s CTS J-Hooks, made from high-impact ABS plastic, offer a cost-effective and quick method to hang pipes from joists or rafters, allowing nails to sit flush against surfaces. Additionally, Copper Tube Size (CTS) Bell Hangers provide light-duty support, offering a stand-off from the mounting surface, which is essential for the expansion and contraction of pipes. Oatey's Copper Pipe Support Brackets are designed to position copper water distribution pipes for fixtures like sinks, ensuring secure installation.

Multi-functional pipe clamps offer exceptional flexibility, with options to mount directly to studs, walls, brackets or threaded rod. These versatile clamps accommodate copper, CPVC, PEX and steel piping, and can also serve as grommets or insulators when installed through framing, reducing contact between the pipe and structure. For added speed and convenience, self-closing clamps allow for simple, push-to-lock installation, securely holding the pipe in place with minimal effort.

With products like Universal DWV Pipe Hangers and a wide variety of clamps and brackets, Oatey ensures that every type of piping—from supply lines to DWV—is supported correctly, enhancing the longevity and reliability of your plumbing system.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Is plastic hanger strap approved for supporting pipes?

No. Plastic hanger strap should only be used for temporary or non-load bearing applications. It can also be used as a mid-level strapping where required by code.

Are any of the plastic pipe support clamps approved for use with hydronic systems?

Yes. All Oatey plastic pipe supports are approved for this application, but you should    confirm the maximum temperature that the pipes will reach when in use. With the    exception of the DuoFit Pipe Clamps rated from 0°F to 230°F and the Stand-Off Half Clamps rated from -60°F to 160°F, all other Oatey plastic straps are rated from 0°F to 180°F.

How far apart should I put the pipe supports?

There are several variables involved with the answer to this question; size of pipe, pipe material and changes in direction. It is always best to check with your local building officials for new installation applications, but you can also reach out to our customer service department for assistance when completing a repair project.
