Building a Pipe Bridge

Adjustable pipe supports are the perfect solution for safe mounting. They protect your important pipes, gas lines, and electrical trays. Suspend them from a rack to create a pipe bridge. This keeps utility lines safe from warehouse traffic and ground hazards.

First, secure pipes and trays to the modular rack. Then, attach base plates and beams to enclose the system. The system is then hoisted into place for mounting, creating a pipe bridge.

Modularity, & Stability

Sikla siFramo is #1 when it comes to modularity and stability. Applications are endless because of the system’s versatility. Assembly is seamless, allowing you to build pipe bridges on-site. Thread-forming screws allow for easily assembly, which provides stability and peace of mind. siFramo connections also accept adapters for Unistrut products. This capability helps us meet all your project requirements.

The images below are from a project for a military application that was shipped to Eastern Pennsylvania. We used a combination of stock and warehouse material. The customer assembled a pipe bridge for their ceiling installation. First, they installed the piping and tubing. Then, a crane hoisted the structure to the ceiling for secure installation. In total, the project material list included 100 ft of siFramo 80, 1,900 ft of siFramo 100, and 50 ft of siFramo 160.

Why We Use Sikla Framo (siFramo)

Sikla Framo (siFramo) is a fully modular and adjustable system of beams and fittings that offers structural support without any of the hassle of fabricated steel. It’s also the backbone of our Modular Mechanical Support Systems!

Building with siFramo components drastically improves installation times since there is no need for welding, hole-drilling, cutting, grinding, or painting, and all components attach with a single piece of hardware.

The Advantages Are Clear

  • Fully Modular System with the Strength of Fabricated Steel
  • Installs Much Faster than Fabricated Steel
  • All Connections Made with One-Size-Fits-All Thread Forming Screw
  • Hot Dip Galvanized for Superior Corrosion Resistance
  • Integrates with Other Metal Framing Systems, including Unistrut
