Supports for KiTEC Pipe

Pipe as well as fittings should be properly supported to keep the piping manitenance free.

For External Installations

Where Kitec is surface mounted, maximum support centers on straight runs should be 2.5 meters for Horizontal lines as well as Vertical lines. However, shorter support centers may be necessary in case the allowable sag is to be minimized.

Always support the fittings at all the joints.

Use proper clamps, preferably KiTEC clamps, for supports.

Don't tighten the clamps too tight to avoid deformation of pipe section.

Don't use sharp objects such as nails and steel wires for holding the pipe.

Concealed Installation

Cement tacking is the best method to keep the KiTEC pipe in place before concealing.

Always tack the pipe at all the joints.

Don't use sharp objects such as nails and steel wires for holding the pipe.
