Sioux Chief 502-8 Galvanized Pipe Strap 3 Inch Ips

Product Description

The SIOUX CHIEF 502-8 is a two-hole galvanized pipe strap designed to secure 3-inch IPS (Iron Pipe Size) pipe runs to structural framing or backing. Fabricated from galvanized steel, this strap provides corrosion resistance suited to mechanical rooms, crawlspaces, and other damp or exposed environments. It is a standard hardware item installed by plumbers and pipefitters during rough-in work on water supply, drain, and gas distribution systems where code-compliant pipe support spacing is required.

This strap is used in residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical installations wherever 3-inch IPS pipe must be fastened to wood framing, concrete blocking, or steel structure. The two-hole configuration allows for positive anchoring at both sides of the strap, distributing load and resisting lateral movement. It is a common stock item on service vans and plumbing trucks handling larger-diameter pipe runs.

Key Features

• Sized for 3-inch IPS pipe for a secure, close-fitting support
• Two-hole mounting pattern for positive, stable attachment to framing or blocking
• Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance in damp and exposed installations

Installation Notes

Install this strap in accordance with applicable plumbing code support spacing requirements for the pipe material and service type, referencing the IPC or local adopted code as applicable. Fasten through both holes using fasteners appropriate for the substrate, such as wood screws into framing or masonry anchors into concrete. Shut off and depressurize the pipe run before making any final adjustments to the support assembly. Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter.
