The Fastest and Most

Economical Method to
Postion and Support
Plumbing Chase Piping.
The Sumner Pipe Support System is designed to eliminate the
problems and costs of supporting small diameter pipe in the
chase heres how:
1. Sumner Pipe Supports are pre-dimensioned and
specifically designed for the application.
The Sumner Pipe Support System maximizes a plumbers time by
eliminating the time consuming measuring process. Each support is
pre-measured and pre-dimensioned for quick, easy installation.
Everything a plumber needs is included except a screwdriver!

2. With Sumner, search and decision time is reduced.

Forget searching around the supply shack for those bits and pieces
necessary to complete the pipe support job. Its all there in each neat,
compact Sumner package.

3. Sumner Supports mean more efficient inventory.

Sumner eliminates the cost of carrying excess inventory! Now you can
inventory only what you need. The Sumner product line is pre-packaged,
labeled and so compact in size that further savings can be realized by
reducing storage area.

4. Sumner Supports provide electrolytic isolation with the

use of tape.
We all know that the use of tape to isolate a pipe is far from an exact
science, and certainly time consuming. Sumner Supports virtually
eliminate the use of tape all you need is a Sumner Pipe Support
and a screwdriver.

5. Sumner Supports are structurally strong and rigid.

Sumner Supports are strong enough to withstand the abuse of other
tradesmen working in the chase and allows for piping expansion. Lets
face it the Sumner Pipe Support System is the most revolutionary
product to appear in the plumbing industry in years!

The Posifix is the smallest support specifically

designed to fit between studs. Its application is to
align and support hot and cold lines with waste
piping in a lavatory or sink rough-in. The Posifix is
pre-slotted to hold 1/2" or 3/4" supply pipe 4", 6"
or 8" apart. The unit mounts on 1" through 1-1/2"
waste pipe for perfect alignment.

1-13/16"

Similar to Posifix, the Pipefix can be used in

lavatory or sink rough-ins. The Pipefix application
holds and aligns 1/2" and 3/4" supply lines with
waste pipe, specifically in tight applications. Only
3-1/2" of wall clearance is required to mount the
Pipefix. The support is pre-slotted to hold supply
piping 4", 6" or 8" apart. The Pipefix attaches to
1-3/8" through 6-5/8" O.D. vent or waste piping by
means of a stainless steel band.
The Pipefix is available in two materials:
A-503 Polystyrene (yellow)
A-603 ABS (orange)

STANDARD PACKAGE includes two 1/2"

3/4" clamps, one 1" 1-1/2" clamp and attaching

screws. The Posifix is available in A-501
Polystyrene (yellow).

STANDARD PACKAGE includes one 7"

Quik-Lok stainless steel band, two 1/2" 3/4"
clamps and attaching screws.

ECONOMY PACKAGE includes one 5"

continuous feed stainless steel band, two 1/2"

3/4" clamps and attaching screws.

The Stakfix is used strictly inside of the chase and

attaches to 1-3/8" 6-5/8" O.D. pipe vents or stacks
by means of a stainless steel band similar to the
Pipefix. The Stakfix has three mounting surfaces
for supporting a combination of piping up to 1-1/2",
running vertically and/or horizontally. The Stakfix
also can be strapped onto metal struts or nailed to
wood. Two to three-inch pipe can be supported on
the Stakfix by using the U-bolts. The P-551 U-bolt is
copper plated to prevent electrolysis. Smaller pipe
can be mounted on the Stakfix using either style of
clamp.
The Stakfix is available in two materials:
A-502 Polystyrene (yellow)
A-602 ABS (orange)

STANDARD PACKAGE includes one 7"

Quik-Lok stainless steel band, three 1" 1-1/2"
clamps, attaching screws and P-556 clips.
