The UniPier Rooftop support system provides a simple and versatile way to support roof mounted gas pipes, electrical conduit, solar piping and other mechanical piping. Unique design absorbs thermal expansion and contraction of pipes thus preventing damage to the roof membrane. Pipes rests include:

• “U” shaped cradle situated in a polycarbonate resin seat.
• Self-lubricating roller polycarbonate resin rod and roller. As daytime temperatures warm the roof membrane and the mechanical pipe network found on the roof, causing them to expand, the roller bearing in the pipe stand rolls beneath the pipe it supports. A difference between night and day temperatures of 20° F. causes 100 ft. of 1″ steel pipe to move as much as 1/4″.
• A strut system constructed of hot-dipped galvanized steel components including clevis hangers or band hangers.
• For the duct supports, the ducts rest on a 1 5⁄8″ x 1 5⁄8″ or 1 5⁄8″ x 7⁄8″ Unistrut channel and are adjustable in height.

 Composition and Material:

Support base is made of polycarbonate resin or hot-dipped galvanized or stainless steel as indicated for the specific base. The base is gently rounded to prevent gouging the roof membrane. Carbon black is added to the polycarbonate resin for UV resistance and protection.

Pipe Roller is made of polycarbonate, or steel as indicated for the specific part.

Other Metal Parts are made of hot-dipped galvanized or stainless steel.

Duct Supports are made of hot-dipped galvanized Unistrut channel

All-Thread Rod are 1/2″ or 3/8″ stainless steel and are used for vertical supports.

Compatibility:

Pillow Block Pipe Stands are recommended for use on and compatible with all current types of decking and with all commonly used built-up and single-ply roofing membranes where roof-mounted pipes occur. For heavier loads it is prudent to use a Unipier Support Pad or other traffic pad to further protect the roof membrane.
