Pipework Supports

"The quickest and simplest
support system, off the shelf
and direct to site"

The Sure-Foot H prop is the complete solution for mechanical and electrical contractor installations, facilitating the installation of pipe service runs on flat roofs. The H prop will allow contractors to design the most adequate pipework support for the roof design and services, using standard strut sections. Contractors who wish to support pipework will be able to support the pipes at a set or variable target height, permitting a fall in the pipes and accommodating for the fall in the roof.

The benefits Of Sure-Foot Pipework Supports

Supporting pipes with the H prop support system avoids running the pipes on the roof surface preventing a potential trip hazard and health and safety risk. It also provides clearance for future re-roofing or maintenance access to the roof.
The Sure-Foot systems provided pipes with a propriety support system that is independent from the roof. There is no fixing required and every Sure-Foot support foot has an adhered matt that will provide a stable area on all roof surfaces.
The Sure-Foot H prop frame can be used to support any pipe on a flat roof.

Supporting services such as pipes will place pressure on the roof structure, insulation and waterproofing finish. These issues can be easily overcome by working with the project structural engineer who will advise as to the maximum loading per foot. Contractors should be aware when installing building services on flat roofs that having a big foot loading imposed on the roof may cause structural or roofing issues and advise should be sought by the projects consultants if in doubt.

Pipework Supports Spacing

As a general rule of thumb supporting pipes on Sure-Foot, contractors should space the supports between 1.2 and 1.4mt centres. Service runs such as pipes supported on Sure-Foot should be able to support their own weight in between services supports otherwise deflection may occur.
