Hello all, I will admit Im fairly new to this "hobby". Ive never ran lines vertical, always horizontal.I want to know if I bought a trailer pump, how would you attach the tubes to the outside of a building? Is there a bracket, or is going up the side of a building ill advised?

I sent you a pm I will reply if you need or want some more info

find someone with used pipe and maybe pour a concrete support block. but treat that part of the job as a signed rental equipment so if things go sideways  you can leave the pipe and charge the job, otherwize you might eat the project and lose the customer. second story scafold work is hard cuz no one will help you and i have seen workers that i have asked to tie off a rope not have a clue as to tie a secure knot, ha ha.

mmm,kinda new?

I looked at your profile, are you REALLY 75 years old? If so, good on you for being active and a thinking man at that age. But back to the question at hand. Pumping multi-story buildings utilizing a trailer pump and vertical stand pipes requires quite a bit of planning and the right equipment, procedures and preparation. It is not to be taken lightly. a temporary vertical pipe to do a mezanine is tricky enough, although very basic, compared to going up 4 or 5 floors. Conforms, Esser, Flowline, etc or a pump dealer/contractor or any manufacturer will assist you, and their experience, expertice and advice should be heeded. There are special procedures and added pipeline plumbing and equipment in place for clean-out at the end of a pour. It's surprising what the risks are during the clean-out phase.

I have alot of experience setting up vertical pipe lines. I never had or did a job where the pipe would just stay on the job so it was always set up and break down. I did set ups up to 4-6 floors on the regular basis those are easy. I had 1 job that went to the 12 floor oooh that was fun lol went there 3 times good thing the other 2 times it was just grout.

The set ups i done in the past to 2-6 floors high took just 2-3 guys and a good long rope with some straps to lock the pipes in place. Most set ups i would have the pipe lean on the building into an H brace made of scrap lumbor and yes i would put pins in the clamps. Like i was saying these were set up and break down type jobs so something that would be a few times a week for some time then you would want to do it the way it should be done.

Wow some good advice here. I think I will try to make some brackets and test out a few floors first, and have the pump truck available for backup if anything goes wrong.
