Supporting Plumbing

[nickkohrn]

I have a Waterbox 100.3 that I converted to standard plumbing from the metric plumbing kit that was provided. Because of the sizes of the fittings, I was unable to use 45º fittings; I didn't have enough length to work with, so 90º fittings were what I used. I want to take the stress off of the bulkheads where the plumbing meets the tank.

Below are photos and a video of the main drain and emergency drain, which have both been converted from 32mm plumbing to 1" plumbing.

With the way that my plumbing has been designed, can you suggest a good way for me to support it so that I can remove pressure from the bulkheads?

Thank you!

The pipe on the left looks like a pretty easy fix. A surface mounting clamp should do the trick. I'm not sure about the middle one though. Perhaps you could bolt two mounts together, and clamp the middle pipe to the piping on the left. You might need to use some spacers....

Like this:

Something else you might consider doing is rooting your plumbing to conform to the surface mounts. This would eliminate the need to finagle with double-brackets or spacers. Something like this:
