Pipe Grid Components
Are you looking to build your own pipe grid or replace existing hardware? Select from the various hardware items below to create your desired pipe grid design. Each piece of hardware listed has a downloadable cut sheet (below). Within our resource page you can select our Pipe Grid Specification sheet to assist you in your design and engineering selection of these parts. If you require a detailed review, take a tour of our interactive studio space. Another good resource is our Pipe Grid How To Video on You Tube.
Engineered Pipe Grid Packages
Do you have a design in mind or a specification? Send your information to one of our team members and we will review, advise and create a complete bill of materials.
Pipe grids can vary in both shape and load rating. Standard pipe grids require 1-1/2” steel pipe overlaid in a 4 foot x 4 foot matrix with a user applied design load rating of 25lbs/linear foot of pipe. A key requirement in designing a pipe grid system is to fully understand the ceiling structure that the system will be suspended from. You can review our dead hung rigging section to see some examples of typical suspension types.
We supply pipe grid systems in mill finish(requiring painting onsite), flat black painting, or powder coated for more custom colored options.
Contact us for your custom quotation today and remember to have the key items answered below for us to assist you in your project.
Pipe Grid Questions:
Overall size: width x length
Matrix: pattern of overlaying pipes (typically 4ft x 4ft)
Ceiling Structure: type of ceiling the system will be suspended Perimeter Walls: what are the wall made of – for horizontal bracing
Height: floor to ceiling AND height from floor to pipe grid elevation
