I installed some 3/4" PEX-a tubing for a new basement bathroom and wet bar. I wanted an easy way to identify the hot and cold water lines while using white Pex and keep the tubes nice and parallel. Yeah, I could have just written "Hot" and "Cold" on the tubes and used hangers from the big box store, but where's the fun in that?

Two clamp designs included. One has a more open clamp design for use when printed with rigid filaments like PLA that don't flex as much to snap over the pipe. The more closed clamp design can be used slightly more flexible filaments like PETG. For each of the clamp designs, one has "H" and "C" to identify Hot and Cold and the other does not. Both designs isolate the PEX tubing from framing and include nubs (technical term) to help keep the pipes silent as they expand and contract.

Use a #9 construction or sheetrock screw to fasten it to a stud or floor joist as I have done in my pics.

Print Settings

Printer Brand:

Creality

Printer:

Ender 3 Pro

Rafts:

Doesn't Matter

Supports:

No

Resolution:

0.16

Infill:

30% adaptive cubic

Filament: Duramic PETG Silver


Notes:

Print the open clamp design with pretty much any filament, PLA, PETG, etc.

The more closed clamp design will need to be printed with a more flexible filament unless you thread the pipe through it before making your connections. The PETG I used is flexible enough that the clamp 'jaws' can spread out and slip over the pipe.

Post-Printing

Snap the clamp over the pipe and use a screw to secure it to framing materials.
