A pipe hanger in plumbing and architecture is a device used to support and secure pipes along ceilings, walls, or floors, ensuring proper alignment and stability. It helps to distribute the weight of the pipes, prevent sagging, and minimize movement caused by thermal expansion, vibrations, or external forces.
Pipe hangers come in various types, such as clamps, brackets, and straps, each suited for different applications and pipe materials. They play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of the plumbing system, reducing stress on joints and connections, and ensuring safety and longevity in architectural designs.
Proper selection and installation of pipe hangers are essential for effective load management and compliance with building codes.
