Pipe supports serve to fix the pipe to the ceiling or wall and should take up changes in length which result from
temperature variations. Through the setting of fixed and sliding points the length variations in the pipe are
steered in the required direction.

Pipe supports may not be mounted on fittings, Sliding supports must be positioned that they do not prevent
the piping from moving.

For fixing and installing the pipes, please follow the UNI EN 806-4 standards and the supplementary national
standard DIN 1988-200. Crucial are also the fluids and the temperature. For gas / sprinkler installations and
firefighting waters the dimensions mentioned in table 16 are not valid.

The maximum permitted support distances for Stainless Steel, Carbon Steel, and Copper/Copper-Nickel pipes are shown in table 16.
