Preventing premature wear on valves, fittings, and rotating machinery by maintaining alignment. Standard Classifications: The Types of Pipe Supports
When dissimilar metals touch (e.g., a copper pipe resting on a bare steel hanger), galvanic corrosion occurs, rapidly weakening the pipe. MSS SP-69 outlines isolation methods, such as plastic coatings or rubber inserts, to protect piping from premature failure. Relationship with Other MSS Standards

Mitigates the risk of structural failure in piping networks. Preventing premature wear on valves, fittings, and rotating
MSS SP-69 does not exist in a vacuum. It is part of a suite of standards that govern the lifecycle of pipe supports:
These use a coil spring to support the load. The supporting force changes (varies) as the pipe expands vertically. Relationship with Other MSS Standards Users of MSS
The primary objective of MSS SP-69 is to provide authoritative guidelines for the proper selection and application of pipe hangers and supports for all types of piping systems. It bridges the gap between engineering design and practical, real-world installation, ensuring that piping systems are supported safely, efficiently, and economically.
