What is the maximum distance allowed between copper tubing supports?

2 feet
4 feet
6 feet
8 feet

The correct answer is: 4 feet

The maximum distance allowed between copper tubing supports is four feet. This standard is established to ensure that the tubing is adequately supported throughout its run, preventing sagging, stress points, and potential damage to the pipe, which could lead to leaks or system failures. Adequate support also helps maintain the integrity of the plumbing system, ensuring that it operates effectively and safely. Proper spacing for support is crucial in both residential and commercial installations. By maintaining this four-foot interval, technicians can safeguard against movement and thermal expansion that occurs with temperature fluctuations, further preserving the longevity and functionality of the tubing.
