Pipe supports are definitely necessary, as they provide flexibility; otherwise the pipes would move away from the pipe supports
It is necessary when laying them on pipe piers; due to the low strength of PP, it is recommended that the owner consider using PVC or PVC+FRP pipes.
What should be noted when using pipe supports?
Plastic pipes such as PP experience significant thermal expansion and contraction; therefore, it is advisable to use pipe supports mounted on pipe pedestals. These pipe supports can be made by splitting a larger PP pipe in half, with the open end facing upward to serve as the support for the pipe. The PP pipe should be able to slide freely back and forth on the pipe support in order to accommodate the changes caused by thermal expansion and contraction.
