Supporting PVC

[olly]

Is it common to have to support Pvc to the earth before the concrete floor is pored? I have been called on this only once.

We only support it where it turns up so it stays where we want it. No support is required along the length IMO

I stake it down with scrap pieces of 1/2" EMT.

If you want it to potentially float up or end up in a location where it really shouldn't be then don't stake it, otherwise do. There is no requirement to do so.

in a slab, you are gonna be under the mesh, and that will usually hold anything less than 1" down.
if you are not under the mesh, you shoulda been there sooner.... :happyyes:

if you don't stake large pipe, it will float nicely.
