Mueller Industries a 02574R Copper Pipe Tube Strap

Product Description

The MUELLER INDUSTRIES A 02574R is a copper pipe and tube strap designed to secure 7/8-inch pipe or tubing in place during mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC installations. Built from copper, it resists corrosion and provides a material-compatible fastening point when working with copper lines. The strap features two mounting holes for positive, stable attachment to framing, joists, or structural surfaces. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and pipefitters use this type of strap as a standard method for supporting refrigerant lines, water supply lines, and other small-diameter tubing runs.

This strap is suited for residential and light commercial applications where 7/8-inch outside-diameter copper or compatible tubing requires periodic support along a run. The two-hole mounting configuration allows fastening with screws or nails to wood or engineered lumber. Copper construction makes it appropriate for use with copper refrigerant lines or water lines where dissimilar-metal contact is a concern. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 5 units.

Key Features

• Copper construction for corrosion resistance and material compatibility with copper tubing
• Fits 7/8-inch pipe or tube outside diameter, equivalent to 3/4-inch nominal pipe size
• Two mounting holes for secure, stable attachment to structural surfaces
• Mounting hole diameter of 0.18 inches accommodates standard fasteners
• Compact, lightweight form factor at 0.0119 pounds per unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style pipe support for 7/8-inch outside-diameter copper pipe or tubing, corresponding to 3/4-inch nominal pipe size, in residential and light commercial plumbing and HVAC applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or HVAC technicians following applicable IPC or IMC support-spacing requirements for the pipe size and material in use. Before securing tubing runs, ensure all lines are depressurized and free of refrigerant or fluid as required by the scope of work. Use fasteners appropriate for the substrate and sized to fit the 0.18-inch mounting holes. Avoid over-driving fasteners, which can deform the strap and compromise tube support.
