I'm just about finished repiping with copper. Pipe runs in attic and down walls. There seems to be a choice in strapping approaches and insulation. What's the best way to keep npoise to a minimum.

Thx

We use copper pipe straps to secure the water pipes. For added protection you may cut up a old inner tube and place folded squares of rubber between the pipes and the studs. I hope you're installing air chambers on all lavatorys and the kitchen sink. Regards, Tom
