I need to run a pipe from my basement laundry room to my back yard for a sprinkler system. The problem I have is that I have to run the pipe a distance of about 14' through the ceiling of my basement (drywalled). If I understand correctly, you're supposed to support a copper pipe every 4 feet or so on a straight run like that. Does anyone know how I can support this pipe without tearing up the drywall? I am running parallel to the joist.
I tried to show the area I'm talking about. Unfortunately my light wasn't quite powerful enough to see clearly to the end. Can I use the existing supports or the ledge of the joist as support for my pipe?
Thanks for any help you folks can give!
