Sioux Chief 551-2PK2 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Sioux Chief 55145 pipe strap work on PEX, or is it only for copper?
The Sioux Chief 55145 strap secures copper, PEX and CPVC tubing, so one strap family covers mixed-material rough-in. Pick the strap size that matches the tubing trade size being run, not the pipe material.
2) Do I need to buy nails separately for these pipe straps?
No. Each 55145 strap arrives with a ring-shank nail already loaded, so fastening to a wood stud or plate is a one-step job with a hammer. Nothing else is required to mount it.
3) Can I use a nail-on pipe strap on steel studs or masonry?
No. The 551 strap fastens with a preloaded ring-shank nail intended for wood framing members. On steel studs, concrete, or block you need a screw-type or clamp-style support instead, since there is nothing here to drive the nail into.
4) How many pipe straps come in a bag of Sioux Chief 551?
Each bag holds 10 straps, and the straps are packaged 20 bags to a case. For a typical supply run with supports every few feet, one bag covers a short branch and multi-bath rough-ins usually take several.
5) Will these straps stop the banging and ticking noise in my supply lines?
They help. The 551 strap holds the tube off the mounting surface instead of clamping it flat against the framing, which cuts the noise that comes from thermal expansion and water flow rubbing on wood. It is a support, though, not a water hammer arrestor.
6) What is the right way to install Sioux Chief 551 straps along a tubing run?
Snap the strap over the tube, then drive the preloaded nail into the framing member. Sioux Chief calls for installing them in alternating directions down the run, which locks the line against shifting rather than letting it creep in one direction.
