Pipe support clamps for foam insulation

[michig54]

Hello all,

I plan on wrapping my pipes in my crawlspace with foam insulation that has 1/2 in. walls. The pipes are 3/4 in. and 1/2 in. in diameter. Currently the pipes are being supported to the floor joints using these pipe clamps:

Since these won't fit around the pipe once the insulation is installed, what can I use instead? I haven't found anything that is the appropriate size. I need something that would work with 1.5 in. and 1.75 in. Any recommandations? Thanks in advance!

use a 2 hole strap.

you will need 1 1/2 straps for the 1/2'' pipe
and 2'' for the 3/4



if you really want to get fancy, you can add saddles between the hanger and insulation, so that the insulation does not deform

Thanks! I imagine I'll find these in the electrical section. I'd also have to get some wood screws. Do you recommend an appropriate length?

I use 1-1/4" galv pipe straps for 1/2" and 3/4" pipe copper tube. it holds a bit tighter than the 1-1/2" clamps.

I just use drywall screws

when using insulation I also use wire pipe hanger.
