10.3. Pipe clips
To support Wavistrong pipes several types of pipe clips may be used. As point loads on Wavistrong pipes are
to be avoided, flat clips instead of u-bolts (see fig. 10.3.a. up to 10.3.e.) must be used.
The inside should be covered with a rubber or cork-rubber layer in order to minimize abrasion, caused by
pipe vibrations or movements.

Clips which allow axial movement of pipes must be provided with a PTFE, PE or PA sliding layer.This sliding layer can
be placed inside the clip or between the clip and the supporting beam.When the clip has to accommodate movement
in more than one direction (expansion loop), a slide plate under the clip is needed to create a floating support.
