Hospital pipe brackets

[unionworkeruk]

I have been asked to replace these ugy old stained plastic pipe brackets with brass ones The problem is there is no leeway with the pipes I can probably cut the old ones out by sawing through the screw in the wall at the back of the bracket but how do I screw the new one in after cleanin up the pipes and wall ? Or better still can you buy brackets that are not screwed in from the back of the pipe ?

You might get saddle brackets in steel or copper, or indeed plastic, not sure if it's so easy to get brass ones, unless they are made up.

I got brass ones from a company called Webbs in Weston Super Mare. My problem is screwing them, brass or otherwise, into the wall behind the pipes which have very little "give".

Show us a pic.

Munsen rings might be what you need.

Google " copper saddle clips" and the 2 piece ones will appear- that's what you need

Nige You have put me in the right direction. I have just found this brass clip on one of the sites for the copper clips and as you can see it is screwed into the wall either side of the pipe like te copper saddles and not behind it Seems probem solved. "Cast brass school board brackets" Thanks
