Banging

Pipes are usually anchored with pipe straps every 6 to 8 feet for horizontal runs, 8 to 10 feet for vertical.
  • If your pipes bang when you turn on the water, you may need to add straps, cushion the pipes with a rubber blanket, or both.
  • When you anchor a pipe-especially a plastic one-leave room for expansion.
  • Don't use galvanized straps on copper pipes.
