Do I install the Soffi-Steel® System before or after my pipe is hung?
The Soffi-Steel® System is an enclosure shield that conceals exposed utilities. Primary use of our Soffi-Steel® System typical implies a protective cover system rather than a hanging or support mechanism for your existing utilities. This being so, our Soffi-Steel® System is formally installed after the utility is in place. In some instances, it has been beneficial for sprinkler fitter’s to hang the sprinkler piping after our shield clips have been attached to the substrate. This aids by creating a visual guide for proper fitting of the sprinkler piping/system in conjunction with our Soffi-Steel® System. Dependent on your site conditions and project requirements, you may either attach our shield clips before or after the exposed utility has been installed.
