GF Piping Systems Expands Size Offerings for Stress Less Pipe Support System

GF Piping Systems has expanded the size offerings of its Stress Less Pipe Support System, a system designed to eliminate any stress transfer to plastic pipe during thermal expansion.

Consisting of a polypropylene insert within a trivalent chrome-coated metal hoop, each Stress Less support leaves room for movement between the inner plastic insert and the pipe. The smooth inner surface of the insert allows the piping to slide freely in the axial direction with minimal stress and wear during each thermal expansion cycle. Meanwhile, the outer metal bracket never comes into contact with the pipe.

The system includes pipe guides, clevis hangers and valve supports. Guides are available in metric sizes ranging from 20mm to 315mm, including the newly available 125mm, 140mm, 250mm, 280mm and 315mm sizes. Stress Less guides are also offered in IPS sizes ranging from ½” to 12”, including the new 5”, 10” and 12” units.
