Steel Knee Support DN60 Ricom — pipe support for DN60 pipelines

Steel knee support Ricom for DN60 pipelines is a rigid pipe support engineered to hold and stabilize a nominal 60 mm (DN60) pipe at changes of direction or elbow sections. The support transfers pipe loads to the building structure, providing a fixed bearing point that maintains alignment and resists lateral movement. Its simple welded steel construction ensures mechanical strength for plumbing, heating and industrial piping applications where a sturdy elbow support is required.

Advantages

The Ricom steel knee support offers robust load-bearing capacity and a compact design that allows easy integration into existing pipe runs. Made from steel and prepared for secure mounting, it provides consistent support at directional changes, reducing stress on joints and connections. The fixed-bearing arrangement helps maintain pipe alignment and simplifies installation compared with custom-fabricated solutions.

Suitable for

• Plumbing systems with DN60 pipes
• Heating and HVAC installations using 60 mm nominal diameter tubing
• Industrial process lines requiring elbow or directional support
• Vertical and horizontal pipe routing where a fixed bearing is needed

Key specifications

• Compatible nominal diameter: DN60 (60 mm)
• Material: steel construction for mechanical strength
• Function: fixed knee/elbow support to transfer load to structure
• Application environment: plumbing, heating, HVAC and industrial piping
• Mounting: designed for secure attachment to structural elements

How to use

Position the knee support at the intended elbow or change of direction so the pipe rests securely in the support cradle. Align the pipe to the required direction and secure the support to the structural element using appropriate fasteners for the substrate and load. Ensure the pipe is correctly seated and that welds or bolted connections are tightened as specified by the installation practice for steel supports. Verify load transfer and alignment after installation and make adjustments if necessary.

Usage recommendations

Use corrosion protection appropriate to the installation environment (paint, galvanizing or coating) when the support is exposed to moisture or aggressive conditions. Select fixings rated for the expected load and substrate, and follow local codes for spacing and additional supports. For dynamic or high-vibration systems, consider supplementary guides or flexible connections to avoid fatigue at rigid supports.
