How to choose the right pipe rail support
Pipe rail supports support the heating pipes in the greenhouse. By placing the pipe rail support correctly, you can make the heating pipes suitable for driving over with pipe rail trolleys. There are different types of pipe rail support available. In this article our specialists will help you choose the right pipe rail support.
Factors when choosing pipe rail support
The choice for a certain type of pipe rail support depends on several factors:
- An open or closed pipe rail system
- The centre-to-centre distance
- The size of the base plate
- The tube size
- The height
Clamping straps
In older closed pipe rail systems, clamping straps are still used to attach the heating pipe to the pipe rail support. If this is the case with your pipe rail system, keep in mind that you need two clamping straps per pipe rail support. So:
Number of pipe rail supports x 2 = number of clamping straps needed
Number of pipe rail supports x 2 = number of clamping straps needed

How to measure the centre-to-centre distance for a pipe rail trolley
The centre-to-centre distance has to be measured, so that the pipe rail trolley can be manufactured in the appropriate size. The heating pipes in greenhouses are not always installed at the same distance from each other, nor are all greenhouses equipped with heating pipes of the same diameter.
