The SIOUX CHIEF 523-2424 is a slider pipe bracket designed to support and secure piping runs in residential and light commercial plumbing systems. This bracket allows controlled longitudinal movement of the pipe, accommodating thermal expansion and contraction without stressing joints or fittings. It is installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters during rough-in or retrofit work where pipes must be anchored but still allowed to shift along their axis. The slider design reduces wear on pipe surfaces while maintaining consistent support throughout the system.
The 523-2424 slider pipe bracket is suited for use in residential and light commercial plumbing installations where thermal movement of supply or drain lines is a concern. It is commonly installed in mechanical rooms, crawl spaces, and utility chases where pipe runs are exposed and require periodic movement accommodation. This bracket is appropriate for use with standard plumbing pipe sizes consistent with its design specifications.

Installation Notes
Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before installing or repositioning brackets on an active system. Use appropriate fasteners for the mounting substrate, whether wood framing, metal studs, or concrete, to ensure the bracket remains securely anchored. Do not overtighten mounting hardware in a way that restricts the slider function of the bracket.
