Asc Engineered Solutions 500173521 Black Riser Clamp

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 500173521 is a black steel riser clamp designed to support vertical pipe runs at floor penetrations and structural members. It clamps around IPS pipe and carries the pipe load to the building structure, preventing downward movement caused by pipe weight, thermal expansion, or vibration. Sized for 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch IPS pipe, this clamp is a standard component in plumbing and mechanical rough-in work where vertical pipe support is required by code. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers.

This riser clamp is used in residential and light commercial plumbing systems wherever vertical water supply, drain, or gas piping passes through floor decks or structural supports. It is suited for applications where IPS-dimensioned black or galvanized steel pipe requires positive vertical support. The black finish is consistent with black steel gas piping installations as well as general mechanical piping systems.

Key Features

• Fits 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch IPS pipe for versatile sizing across common small-diameter runs
• Steel construction provides durable load-bearing support for vertical pipe
• Black finish suits black steel gas piping and general mechanical piping applications
• Standard riser clamp geometry seats on floor deck edges or structural framing
• Weighs 1.04 pounds per unit, indicating solid material cross-section for reliable pipe support

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use riser clamp for 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch IPS pipe in residential and commercial plumbing and mechanical piping systems.

Installation Notes

Riser clamps are installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with the International Plumbing Code and International Fuel Gas Code requirements for vertical pipe support intervals. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system before working on any section of piping. The clamp seats on the floor deck or structural member and must bear fully on a solid surface to transfer load correctly. Do not use riser clamps as the sole means of restraint in seismic zones without consulting applicable local code requirements for additional bracing.
