Copper pipe fastened on concrete wall

[Josesaucedo111]

Can someone help to to figure out what or how I can fastened or strap copper pipe on a concrete wall? Can I use regular anchor screws for copper straps? I've heard copper doesn't get along with concrete. I need to run a water copper pipe along the side of the floor slab. thank you.

I would use unistrut and cush clamps. The Concrete when create holes in copper due to movement and concrete is acidic

Thank you journeyman, this water line is to feed a water heater and eventually the whole house, it will only be 30 feet of pipe. Why copper? Because I hear copper is better than galvanized, is it true? But, I also want it to look professional because it will run on the front side af the house. Would you recommend copper or galvanized? With galvanized, I would not have to worry to much because I can probably use one hole strap to secure it along the wall.

Thank you.

get a strut clamp to fit the pvc, measure your pipe and insulation..
say it is a 3/4 pipe and 1'' insulation,,you need a 3'' pvc pipe and a 3'' std s
strut clamp
where do you live any freeze concerns. if you want it to look professional

Do not use galvanized. Use copper with unistrut and cush clamps

Nail blocks to the wall.

If you want it to look professional do not nail blocks to wall or use foam to cover pipes. If I can only be exterior use unistrut and cush clamps
