chinese whispers syndrome for pipes!

Just because a support appears in a standard, this doesn't negate the reader from thinking.

Our pipe supports are shocking and i refuse to sign isometrics which show them.
In fact i only approve support location and function, such is the state of our standards(work in progress)

I wouldnt use a wear plate as a repad.
The fact that such was used in the afore mentioned picture was probably the reason it came off.

From eyeballing that picture, the plate looks totally wrong.

If it looks right, it probably is right, and if it looks wrong, it probably is wrong.--- never a truer word said.
