Floor Brackets Galvenaised Dry Riser pipe 4"
Product Specifications
Product Name: Galvanised Dry Riser Floor Bracket for 4″ Pipe
Product Type: Pipe support bracket / floor bracket
Application: Dry riser pipework support
Pipe Size: 4″
Material: Mild steel angle section
Finish: Galvanised
Angle Section: 50mm x 50mm x 5mm
Fixing Holes: 13mm diameter fixing holes
Supplied With: M12 U-bolt, nuts, and washers
Installation Use: Floor-mounted pipework support
Product Use and Protection
The 4″ galvanised dry riser floor bracket is used to support and secure vertical or horizontal dry riser pipework, helping ensure the system remains correctly positioned and aligned.
It is especially useful where dry riser pipework passes through floors or changes direction, as these areas often require additional support to prevent pipe movement or stress on joints and fittings.
The galvanised finish helps provide corrosion resistance, making the bracket suitable for long-term pipe support in suitable internal or protected environments.
UK Regulations and Standards for Dry Riser Pipework Support
In the UK, dry riser systems must be correctly designed, installed, inspected, and maintained so they are ready for Fire Brigade use during an emergency.
The Law: The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 makes the building’s “Responsible Person” legally accountable for maintaining fire safety systems.
Building Regulations: Approved Document B requires dry risers in buildings where the top floor is between 18m and 50m from ground level. Buildings over 50m generally require wet risers.
The Standard: BS 9990:2015 is the main code of practice covering the design, installation, testing, and maintenance of dry riser systems.
Pipework Support: Dry riser pipework should be securely supported, correctly aligned, and installed to prevent unnecessary movement, strain, or damage to the system.
Installation Guidance
The Galvanised Dry Riser Floor Bracket for 4″ Pipe should be installed by a competent person as part of a suitable dry riser installation. The bracket should be fixed securely to a suitable floor, wall, or structural surface using appropriate fixings for the substrate. The 4″ pipe should be held in position using the supplied M12 U-bolt, nuts, and washers.
Maintenance Requirements
Six-Monthly Visual Inspection: Check the bracket, U-bolt, nuts, washers, fixing holes, fixings, and surrounding pipework for signs of corrosion, loosening, damage, movement, tampering, or misalignment.
Annual Wet Pressure Test: Once every 12 months, the dry riser system should be filled with water and pressure tested to ensure it is watertight and capable of withstanding operational pressures.
Support Check: Ensure pipe brackets remain secure and that pipework is properly supported at regular intervals and at any change of direction.
A full logbook should be kept for all inspections, tests, repairs, and remedial works where required.
This product should be checked for suitability before installation, including pipe size, fixing method, substrate suitability, load requirement, and intended dry riser system use.
Please check all products before signing for the materials. We cannot be held responsible for goods after they have been signed for.
Due to the specialist nature of dry riser support brackets and pipework fittings, this product may not always be available on a standard next working day service. Lead time will be advised where applicable.
