Description
Mini Rooftop Support Block with Strut Channel
Mini Rooftop Support Block with Strut Channel provides a compact, non-penetrating support solution for pipe, conduit, HVAC lines, and other compatible rooftop mechanical systems. The rubber base rests on the roof surface while the integrated metal strut channel provides a convenient mounting point for compatible clamps and support hardware.
Its compact footprint makes this rooftop support block a practical choice where space is limited or where a smaller support platform is preferred. The non-penetrating design eliminates the need to anchor the support through the roof surface, helping simplify installation for compatible rooftop piping and conduit layouts.

How Does a Rooftop Support Block Work?
A rooftop support block creates a stable support point for compatible piping, conduit, and mechanical components without requiring the support itself to be fastened through the roof surface.
The rubber base rests on the rooftop while the integrated strut channel provides a mounting surface for compatible clamps and hardware. This allows contractors to build organized rooftop support runs using familiar strut-style mounting components.
Why Choose a Mini Rooftop Support Block?
Compact Footprint
- Useful where rooftop space is limited
- Fits into tighter piping and conduit layouts
- Provides a compact support point
- Easy to incorporate into existing rooftop layouts
- Practical for smaller rooftop support applications
Non-Penetrating Design
- Support rests on the rooftop surface
- No support-block anchor penetration through the roof
- Integrated strut provides a convenient mounting surface
- Works with compatible strut clamps and hardware
- Simplifies many rooftop support installations
Common Applications
Pipe & Mechanical Systems
- Rooftop gas piping
- Mechanical piping
- HVAC line support
- Utility piping runs
- Compatible rooftop pipe-support systems
Electrical & Conduit Systems
- Electrical conduit runs
- Rooftop conduit support
- Strut-mounted conduit clamps
- Electrical support installations
- Compatible rooftop utility runs
Integrated Strut Channel
The integrated metal strut channel provides a familiar mounting surface for compatible pipe clamps, conduit clamps, strut nuts, brackets, and related support hardware.
This allows contractors to configure the support around the piping or conduit being installed rather than relying on a single fixed attachment arrangement.
Installation Considerations
- Confirm that the rooftop support is appropriate for the intended application before installation.
- Verify compatibility with the roof system and roofing manufacturer's requirements.
- Place the support on a clean and suitable roof surface.
- Use compatible strut clamps and mounting hardware for the supported pipe, conduit, or equipment.
- Confirm that all supported components are properly secured.
- Determine support quantity and spacing based on the piping system, application, applicable codes, and project requirements.
- Do not exceed project-specific or engineered support requirements.
- Account for movement, expansion, contraction, and other system requirements where applicable.
- Maintain required rooftop clearances and access paths.
- Inspect the completed support installation before placing the system into service.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a mini rooftop support block?
A mini rooftop support block is a compact support used to elevate and support compatible pipe, conduit, HVAC lines, and other mechanical components on a rooftop.
Is this a non-penetrating rooftop support?
Yes. The block is designed to rest on the rooftop rather than requiring the support block itself to be anchored through the roof surface.
What is the base made from?
The rooftop support uses a rubber base with an integrated metal strut channel.
What is the strut channel used for?
The strut channel provides a mounting surface for compatible clamps, strut nuts, brackets, and other support hardware used to secure pipe, conduit, or mechanical components.
Can this rooftop block support pipe?
Yes. The block is intended for compatible rooftop pipe-support applications. The appropriate clamp, hardware, support spacing, and overall support arrangement should be selected for the specific piping system.
Can it be used for rooftop gas piping?
Rooftop gas piping is one of the common applications for this type of support. The complete installation must comply with applicable codes and project requirements.
Can it support electrical conduit?
Yes. The integrated strut channel can be used with compatible conduit clamps and support hardware for rooftop conduit installations.
Can it be used for HVAC lines?
Yes. The block can be used as part of compatible rooftop HVAC and mechanical support installations.
Why use a mini block instead of a larger rooftop support?
A mini block provides a smaller footprint, making it useful where rooftop space is limited or where the application does not require the larger physical footprint of another support configuration.
Does the block need to be bolted to the roof?
The support block itself is designed as a non-penetrating rooftop support. Always verify the complete installation requirements for the roof system and supported piping or equipment.
Can I attach standard strut hardware to the block?
The integrated metal strut channel is intended for use with compatible strut-mounted clamps and hardware. Verify hardware compatibility for the specific installation.
How far apart should rooftop support blocks be installed?
Support spacing depends on the pipe or conduit material, size, system design, applicable codes, and project requirements. Follow the requirements for the specific piping or conduit system rather than using a universal spacing value.
Can the block be placed on any roofing material?
Roof systems vary. Confirm compatibility with the roofing system and roofing manufacturer's requirements before installation.
Can I order the blocks with my pipe and strut?
Yes. GetPipe.com supplies pipe, strut channel, clamps, fittings, and related support products, allowing rooftop support components to be ordered alongside other project material.
