Re: Why?

I use one of the plumbing J hook things..they're made to secure copper
plumbing pipe to studs. You just nail it over the pvc.

I guess they call them "hangers"
You could just drill a hole through the pvc too.

a

been
| 25 years later...This works great for motions, glassbreaks, sirens,
smokes,
| or anything else that doesn't require a junction box per NFPA or local
| building code.
