To position riser and stubout assemblies firmly in their permanent location, what should be used?

Using drop ear elbows or high ear ell fittings is essential for positioning riser and stubout assemblies firmly in their permanent locations. These fittings have extended ears or tabs that are designed specifically for securing piping systems to wall studs or other structures. The ears allow for the attachment of screws or fasteners, which helps stabilize the piping and prevents movement or shifting over time, ensuring a reliable and code-compliant installation.

This structural integrity is particularly important in plumbing applications, where any movement can lead to stress on the joints, potentially causing leaks or other issues. Drop ear elbows are particularly useful in pointing risers and stubs at an angle while still allowing for secure anchoring. Therefore, their design is ideal for maintaining the position of riser and stubout assemblies, making them the preferred choice in professional plumbing installations.
