Hi James,
You might like these if they are available in the diameter you need.
There is a split between the ears so you can spread the unit and
pop it over the tubing.
The website for the manufacturer is www.siouxchief.com
I bought a pack of 5 of these today for about $2.50 USD in the
plumbing supply department at a retail store. There are several similar
products on the website.
Cheers,
Jim

Hi All,Thanks for the advice. Not sure what im going to do now! Rick, do you have any idea where to get these sprinkler bracket things?ThanksJamesOn 29 May 2012 05:23, Land N Sea <landnsea1@hawaiiantel.net> wrote:
I happened to be up in the roof trusses of a Wal-Mart doing some welding from a scissors lift the other day and I noticed a neat clip that the sprinkler people used to suspend all the pipe for their fire sprinklers. They are brass or bronze, small and have a threaded hole which would be perfect to use on the ribs. I am going to use them on my K-350.

Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Holes In Ribs?This may seem a bit counter-intuitive, but the best place to drill holes
in stiffeners, if one must, is actually through the stiffener web.
Stiffeners work by increasing the local moment of inertia in
consideration of the stiffener plus an effective length of the shell to
which it is welded. The outstand (stiffener flange) actually makes the
greatest contribution to this moment, as compared to material within the
web which is close to the neutral axis of the combined section. Small
holes are unlikely to make a huge difference, but assuming you have a T
shaped stiffener, is it possible to clamp to the flange without drilling
at all?

Hi All,
Am i ok to drill holes in my reinforcement ribs? They would be about
8mm in the top part of the "T". Just a few here and there to hold pipes.
I've finished most of the high pressure plumbing but i need to hold
the pipes down. I didnt really want to drill into the ribs as it
means more painting, but ive scraped the paint off in places while
working so i have to re-do bits anyway.
The other options are to weld tabs on, or use some brackets of some
sort, but i think easiest is just to bolt through and re paint.
Thanks
James
