L H Dottie Co DPS8 Pre-cut Pipe Support Block 8 in

Product Description

The L H Dottie Co DPS8 is an 8-inch pre-cut pipe support block designed to provide stable, consistent bearing support for piping runs in mechanical and plumbing installations. These blocks are pre-cut to size, eliminating field fabrication and saving time during rough-in. They are used to cushion, isolate, and support pipe at structural contact points, reducing stress on pipe hangers and preventing direct metal-to-metal contact. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the primary installers of this type of support hardware.

This pipe support block is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications where consistent standoff and protection at support points is required. It is commonly installed at hanger or strut contact points along horizontal pipe runs, at floor penetrations, and anywhere pipe requires a protective bearing surface. The pre-cut format allows for quick placement without measuring or cutting on the job site.

Key Features

• Pre-cut to 8 inches for ready installation without field modification
• Provides cushioning and bearing support at pipe contact points
• Reduces pipe stress at hanger and structural support locations
• Sold individually (per each) for flexible quantity ordering

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters as part of a piping support system. Shut off and depressurize the relevant piping system before adjusting or repositioning existing supports. Blocks should be seated fully between the pipe and the support structure with no gaps that could allow movement or vibration. Follow applicable IPC and local mechanical code requirements for pipe support spacing and bearing surface specifications.
