Question on Pipe Anchor Location
Question on Pipe Anchor Location
(OP)
After performing searches on this forum, and failing to find my answer... I'm looking for any helpful information or rules of thumb or locating pipe anchors. I'm designing heating hot water and ground-source heat pump piping systems.
I appreciate any responses. Thank you.

RE: Question on Pipe Anchor Location
While you are doing that, try to remember that every anchor added will reduce deflection and movement, but at the cost of increasing internal stress and resultant forces on anything trying to restrain the pipe so anchored. Basically with the placement of anchors you are trading reduced movement for increased stress, or v/v.
