Hanger and Piping Specialties Index | Pipe Riser Support Systems | Flexible Cable Brace Overview


Resilient guiding and anchoring of piping has always been something of a problem. Many designs place the resilient material in direct contact with the piping surface. Since the materials are normally rubber or rubberlike, there have always been the problems of heat sensitivity, friction and wear as the piping slides against the resilient surface. In some cases, there was also an unpleasant odor, as these materials tend to smell when heated.

The ADA pipe anchor and VSG guide may be bolted or welded in any position. They are away from the piping and used under the ends of a rugged clamp or bracket, depending on whether anchoring or guiding is required. ADA anchors and guides are manufactured for all sizes of pipe and may be used as seismic restraints as well.
