Installation Guide – Fast and Secure Setup
Installing our pipe rings is quick and efficient. By following these steps, you’ll ensure a strong and stable installation:
-
Measure the pipe’s external diameter to select the correct ring size.
-
Place the ring at the required support point.
-
Secure using the appropriate bolt size (M8–M20, depending on pipe size).
-
Align the pipe to ensure even spacing and straight runs.
-
Tighten carefully, avoiding overtightening that could damage the pipe.
💡 Spacing Tip:
For horizontal runs: Space every 1.5–2m for pipes up to 2″, and every 3m for pipes above 2″
For vertical runs: Space every 3m, and within 300mm of any valve or change of direction

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What makes malleable iron better than cast iron?
A: Malleable iron is stronger and more flexible. Unlike cast iron, it won’t crack under pressure, making it safer for industrial use.
Q2: When should I choose galvanised rings?
A: Use galvanised rings in outdoor or humid environments. They resist corrosion and are ideal for long-term exposed installations.
Q3: Can I use these rings with plastic pipes?
A: Yes, but it’s best to use rubber-lined versions to avoid pipe abrasion from movement or vibration.
Q4: What spacing should I follow when installing?
A: Up to 2m apart for smaller pipes, 3m for larger ones, with additional supports near joints and valves.
Q5: What fixings do I need?
A: Use M8 to M20 bolts, expansion anchors for masonry, or channel nuts for strut systems—depending on the surface material.
