TKL LineBrace - Vertical Pipe Support
A pipe support that is easy to install and prevents buckling or kinking the copper elbow at the lowest point due to thermal expansion.
The challenge: Vertical lineset installations are always subject to severe stress due to a combination of thermal expansion and gravity, usually resulting in buckling or kinking the elbow fitting at the lower end of each pipe run.
The solution: The “LineBrace” clamp supports the weight of vertical lineset risers in VRF and VRV AC systems and reduces the thermal expansion load on the lowest copper elbow by 50%.
Features
REDUCED WEIGHT
The TKL LineBrace reduces the weight on the lowest fitting by 50%. TKL LineBrace is unique—there is not another clamping system on the market like it.
REDUCED THERMAL EXPANSION
TKL LineBrace reduces the load on the copper line set. It is installed in the center of the vertical riser.
EASY to INSTALL PIPE SUPPORT
The split pipe support clamp fits onto the copper piping riser using a stainless-steel clap and is mounted to the surface using coated components.
COMPATIBLE WITH MOST PIPES
Slotted holes on the mounting bracket allow for precise adjustments when mounting to any surface.

What benefit does LineBrace have over traditional cushion-type clamping methods?
A. LineBrace is designed to carry the weight of a copper lineset riser and works in tandem with cushion-type clamps, not as a replacement. Installed at the center of the riser, it helps manage thermal expansion and prevents lineset sagging that can lead to kinks or compressor damage — a risk with degraded cushion clamps. There’s currently no other product like it on the market.
Does LineBrace create corrosion issues due to metal-on-metal contact?
A. No. LineBrace uses a type 304 stainless steel clamp, which is compatible with copper piping. The clamp’s placement and materials avoid electrolytic corrosion. Additionally, the hot-dipped galvanized and powder-coated base bracket, along with the temporary clamping plate, adds dielectric protection and corrosion resistance.
