What’s everyone using to support PVC pipe for long runs? I’m doing a basement sump for the first time and need to support my drains and returns to the wall. The basement in unfinished so the supports would be drilled into concrete.
 
I would use Tapcon concrete screws to secure 2-3 pieces of 2x4 to the concrete wall. Then I would use plastic straps to hold plumbing in place.

Attach a painted 3/4” plywood sheet to the wall with tapcons and use plastic clic-clamps to attach pipes.

Use furring strips to get some stand-off for the plywood so you don’t get moisture/damp mold issues behind it against the concrete wall
