Ok, help me out my fellow reefers, trying to find who sells these brackets besides our IMHO overpriced savior that starts with a B and ends in RS. I can't figure out the exact name for them in plumbers parlance or where to source them from. I'm planning to clean up my disaster of a sump: plumbing, electrical and reduce the numerous power bricks. The PVC mounting will be first.

TIA for the help!

I find two hole pipe hangers, some call them pipe straps, work better. At lowes or homecheapo they can be found in electric dept because they work on conduit pipe as well. So do the type you posted a pic of btw

I got mine from plumbing supply (not sponsored)
They are on backorder though

There are fancy ones like this to prevent vibrations like for return pumps or other vibration prone pipes

My only issue with the pipe hangers in the first photo when I used them was once I clamped the pipe down, there was no way to unlock the clamp. I don’t remember why I needed to but I did and I had to cut them. But could also be part of poor planing for future events on my part.
They def work and hold them snug. If I used them again I might go up in .5 size in case I ever needed to service that section of pipe.

Found them on zoro.com, needed a real computer to hunt for them. The price was right in comparison to BRS. Going to order them in 1", 3/4" and 1/2"

They pop out easy, as long as you can pull them straight out

That was the thing, where mine were I couldn’t pull them straight out. It was a bad decision on my part, I’m only warning the OP to not my my mistakes.
