Description
Rooftop Pipe Support Block with Strut Channel
Rooftop Pipe Support Block with Strut Channel provides a durable, non-penetrating support solution for pipe, conduit, HVAC lines, cable tray, and other compatible rooftop mechanical systems. The recycled rubber base rests on the roof surface while the integrated galvanized steel strut channel provides a secure mounting point for compatible clamps and support hardware.
Designed for commercial and industrial rooftop installations, this support block provides a larger, heavy-duty platform for organizing and supporting rooftop piping and mechanical runs without requiring the support itself to penetrate the roof membrane.

How Does a Rooftop Support Block Work?
A rooftop support block creates a stable support point for compatible piping, conduit, cable tray, and mechanical components without requiring the support itself to be fastened through the roof surface.
The recycled rubber base rests on the rooftop while the integrated galvanized strut channel provides a mounting surface for compatible clamps, brackets, strut nuts, and other support hardware.
Standard Rooftop Block vs. Mini Rooftop Block
Standard Rooftop Support Block
- Larger support platform
- Designed for commercial and industrial rooftop applications
- Useful for larger piping and mechanical support layouts
- Integrated galvanized strut channel
- Suitable where a more substantial rooftop support is preferred
Mini Rooftop Support Block
- Smaller, more compact footprint
- Useful where rooftop space is limited
- Practical for tighter piping and conduit layouts
- Integrated strut mounting surface
- Useful for smaller rooftop support applications
Recycled Rubber Base
The rooftop support uses a recycled rubber base designed to provide a stable platform for compatible rooftop piping and mechanical systems.
The broad support surface helps distribute the supported system across the rooftop rather than concentrating the installation at a small attachment point.
Integrated Galvanized Strut Channel
The integrated galvanized steel strut channel provides a familiar mounting surface for compatible pipe clamps, conduit clamps, strut nuts, brackets, cable-tray supports, and related hardware.
This allows contractors to configure the rooftop support around the specific pipe, conduit, or mechanical system being installed using standard strut-style mounting components where applicable.
Common Applications
Pipe & Mechanical Systems
- Rooftop gas piping
- Mechanical piping systems
- HVAC line support
- Commercial rooftop piping
- Industrial rooftop support systems
Electrical & Utility Systems
- Electrical conduit runs
- Rooftop conduit support
- Cable tray installations
- Strut-mounted electrical supports
- Compatible rooftop utility runs
Non-Penetrating Rooftop Design
The support block is designed to rest on the rooftop surface rather than requiring the block itself to be mechanically anchored through the roof membrane.
This makes non-penetrating rooftop blocks a practical option for many commercial and industrial installations where pipe, conduit, HVAC lines, or other supported systems need to be elevated and organized above the roof surface.
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, brackets, and mounting hardware for the supported pipe, conduit, cable tray, 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, drainage paths, and access areas.
- Inspect the completed support installation before placing the system into service.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a rooftop pipe support block?
A rooftop pipe support block is a non-penetrating support used to elevate and support compatible pipe, conduit, HVAC lines, cable tray, and other mechanical components on a rooftop.
Is this a non-penetrating rooftop support?
Yes. The support block is designed to rest on the rooftop rather than requiring the block itself to be anchored through the roof surface.
What is the base made from?
The rooftop support uses a recycled rubber base.
What type of strut channel is installed on the block?
The block includes an integrated galvanized steel strut channel for mounting compatible clamps and support hardware.
What is the strut channel used for?
The strut channel provides a mounting surface for compatible pipe clamps, conduit clamps, strut nuts, brackets, cable-tray supports, and other strut-mounted hardware.
Can this rooftop block support pipe?
Yes. The block is designed for compatible rooftop pipe-support applications. Appropriate clamps, hardware, spacing, and overall support arrangements should be selected for the specific piping system.
Can it be used for rooftop gas piping?
Yes. Rooftop gas piping is a common application 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.
Can it be used for cable tray?
The rooftop block can be incorporated into compatible cable-tray support arrangements using appropriate strut-mounted hardware and project-specific support requirements.
What is the difference between this block and the mini rooftop support block?
This standard rooftop support provides a larger support platform, while the mini version uses a more compact footprint for tighter layouts and smaller support applications.
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 galvanized strut channel is intended for use with compatible standard 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, conduit, or cable-tray system; material and size; applicable codes; system design; and project requirements. Follow the requirements for the supported system rather than using a universal spacing value.
Can the block be placed on any roofing material?
Roofing systems vary. Confirm compatibility with the roofing system and roofing manufacturer's requirements before installation.
Can I order rooftop blocks with my pipe and strut?
Yes. GetPipe.com supplies pipe, strut channel, clamps, hangers, fittings, and related support products, allowing rooftop support components to be ordered alongside other project material.
