Sioux Chief 556-2 Pipe Strap Nail-in Talon 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The SIOUX CHIEF 556-2 is a nail-in pipe support strap, commonly called a pick-up talon, designed to secure 1/2-inch copper tubing to wood framing members. The integrated nail allows for fast, one-hand installation, eliminating the need for separate fasteners. Plumbers and pipe fitters use this type of fitting during rough-in work to keep supply lines neatly routed and properly supported between joists, studs, and blocking. It is a standard component in residential and light commercial plumbing installations.

This talon is suited for 1/2-inch copper tube applications in domestic water supply systems. It is typically installed during the rough-in phase before walls and ceilings are closed. The nail-in design speeds up production work where a large number of support points are needed across multiple framing bays. It is appropriate for use in wood-framed residential construction as well as light commercial framing where copper supply lines are routed through or along structural members.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers during the rough-in phase. Shut off water supply before repositioning or removing existing pipe. Drive the integral nail flush into the framing member using a hammer, taking care not to deform the talon body or kink the tube. Support spacing should comply with local plumbing code and IPC guidelines for copper tubing.
