Holdrite 102-18 Copper Plated Steel Bracket 18 Inch

Product Description

The HOLDRITE 102-18 is a copper-bonded steel bracket designed to support 3/4-inch and 1-inch copper tubing in residential and commercial plumbing installations. The bracket features pre-drilled holes sized for both tube diameters, allowing a plumber to secure stub-outs cleanly and without additional hardware. At 18 inches in width, it provides adequate span for standard rough-in spacing. The copper bonding on the steel base prevents galvanic corrosion at the contact point between the bracket and copper tubing, extending the service life of both the fitting and the pipe.

This bracket is used to support stub-outs at hot water tanks, urinals, and other plumbing fixtures where copper supply lines terminate at the wall. It is suited for both new construction rough-in work and retrofit installations where existing stub-outs require added support. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on residential and light commercial systems will encounter this bracket as a standard component in copper supply rough-in applications.

Compatibility

Designed to support 3/4-inch and 1-inch copper tubing stub-outs for hot water tanks, urinals, and other plumbing fixtures requiring rigid supply-line backing.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber during rough-in or fixture stub-out work. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before securing the bracket. When soldering copper connections in the vicinity of this bracket, heat the pipe rather than the bracket to avoid damaging the copper bonding. Follow applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements for pipe support spacing and fastener type.
