RIGHT FIRST TIME: AVOIDING COMMON ERRORS IN PIPE SUPPORT SELECTION (OCTOBER 2026)
An M12 eye nut can’t be used with a DN400 clamp, and component clashes like this are easy to miss when a hanger is built from loose parts on paper. Get the thread size, clamp type or attachment method wrong and it shows up later as site rework, a hot-work delay or corrosion.
This practical, 30 minute webinar investigates common errors in pipe support selection that can add delays or costs to projects, showcases Anchorage’s Hanger Design configurator and tips on good hanger design and walks through some easy ways to create custom parts from our standard catalogue.
Presented by Riley Williams (Project Consultant), Roger Shemilt (Head of Product) and Brad Pearse (Senior Engineer) from industrial pipe support specialists Swift Metal Australia.
What the webinar covers
- Choosing the right pipe support for each application, and the mismatches we see most often in the field
- How to specify a custom or non-standard pipe support and get what you asked for
- When customisation adds real value, and when it just adds cost and lead time
- Pipe hanger configuration basics that are easy to overlook at design stage
