The Science Behind Pipe Hanger Spacing Distance

Many decisions must be made when designing and installing a piping system, including pipe size, material of construction, and the route the piping will follow.  In the August edition of Hixson’s From Experience newsletter, we take a look at one more important factor – the spacing between pipe hangers or pipe supports – and how to calculate the ideal distance between supports to maximize drainage while minimizing mechanical stress from pipe weight, movement and thermal expansion.  Read the issue here!
