Good afternoon, everyone.

I want to mount my plumbing on my basement wall. I was planning on using these.

Looks like a reasonable solution.
 
They are fancy-pants hangers! Note that's for copper pipe. If you're running 1 1/2 PVC, these hangers won't fit. I'd go simple. Either pipe straps (they look like the letter U with screw holes on either end) which you can get in plastic (that fit PVC) and would give you zero clearance (right up against the wall. The other option is J hanger (also made for PVC) and that would give you a little clearance from the wall. The last is the least expensive, and not so pretty....pipe strapping. This looks like a coil of approximately 3/4 wide strapping with holes, holes and more holes....and comes in metal or plastic You wrap it around the pipe and insert one screw to hang the pipe. JMTC.
 
They make a large rage of sizes. The ones from McMaster are most likely these from Arlington.

Yes, I got mine from McMaster Carr. I like the Unistrut clips but I didn't want any steel that close to my sump. I'm going to make a standoff from a bar of HDPE and some SS carriage bolts. Unless someone knows of some cheap fiberglass unistrut
 
I found these. This is getting expensive. Looks like galvanized steel will be just fine
