ABSTRACT:
A metal pipe bracket is disclosed for firmly securing a plumbing pipe within a stud bay. The metal pipe bracket has a U-channel that is slipped over a steel strap nailed between the two studs of a stud bay. Locking tabs located on the pipe bracket aligned with and snapped into locking holes on the steel strap. A metallic plumbing pipe either extending horizontally within the stud bay or vertically within the stud bay is then soldered to the pipe bracket thereby providing a secure attachment between the plumbing pipe and the stud bay structure. Secured in this manner, the plumbing pipe is held secure against vertical, horizontal, and axial movement. A pipe secured in this manner can be attached to a shower head or a shower water mixer valve. Upon subsequent use of the shower head or the mixer valve, the plumbing pipe is secure from movement that would normally be caused by repeated adjustment of the shower head and use of the water mixer valve. The disclosed brackets are inexpensive to manufacture, easy to use and provide a secure means of attaching plumbing pipe to a stud bay.
