Pipe clamps - often referred to as pipe clips or sometimes saddle clamps are relatively simple fittings widely used in many DIY/installation settings. They’re one of the various types of channel support system, most commonly found in plumbing, heating, drainage and electrical work.

Plumbing pipe clamps are among the most common types, used all over households and workspaces to secure/support varying diameters of pipeline neatly and safely in place. Chrome remains one of the most popular aesthetic choices for any pipe clamps being used in high visibility areas in and around the home. Pipe clips usually come in either gripping (anchor) or non-gripping (saddle/guide) configurations, depending on how tightly you want the conduit to be fixed in place. Note that in some applications, allowing a little room for movement - whether thermal, mechanical or otherwise - is beneficial.

Copper pipe clamps, much like copper tubing itself, are excellent for use in indoor plumbing systems. Although known as a comparatively malleable metal, most copper used in plumbing systems is relatively rigid, doesn’t react with water, and remains neutral and non-toxic over many years of extended use in plumbing systems.

Plastic pipe clips are a great option in many scenarios where a degree of flexibility is required - such as for lighter-gauge cabling runs that might need to be removed and replaced at various times - or where the rigidity and sturdiness of metal fixtures is overkill for the type of conduit being supported. Just like in central plumbing applications, selecting the right drain pipe clips for the job is a matter of knowing exactly which diameter and shape of clip you need to hold your wastewater pipework firmly in place. Pipe clamps for wood Copper pipe clips won’t corrode on exposure to any residual moisture, so they stay looking good for decades on end, and they’re generally prized for a pleasing aesthetic quality even when used in exposed piping and ductwork. Excellent thermal properties - particularly in terms of dealing with continual expansion and contraction - further contribute to their longevity in hot and cold water systems.

Chrome and chrome-plated pipe clips are used in many of the same sorts of environment that stainless steel would be - again, their general resistance to corrosion and other frequent culprits in all-round weathering and degradation make chrome pipe clamps a solid choice for most indoor and outdoor uses. There are some elements that can cause long-term issues for stainless steel clamps - notably prolonged exposure to salts and other trace minerals - but on the whole, they’re a great choice for a wide range of demanding indoor and outdoor uses. What are plastic pipe clamps best for? There are almost as many different materials used for pipe clamps as there are varying diameters and mounting systems for them. Below you’ll find a few of the more common materials used, and some examples of which is best suited to what sorts of application. What are stainless steel pipe clamps best for?

Brass pipe clamps are often used when an element of decorative appeal is required, but they’re also just as hard-wearing in many plumbing applications as copper is (after all, it’s an alloy of copper and zinc). You’ll frequently see pipe clamps mentioned in a carpentry or joinery context - which can be somewhat confusing, as they serve an entirely different purpose here! A pipe clamp for wood generally refers to a type of wide, freestanding and fully adjustable vice clamp, most often used for holding multiple boards together to achieve a stronger join during edge glueing.
