OK....I'm installing the shower pipes and I have been anchoring the pipes with the copper "U" shaped pipe holders to wood blocks that are screwed to the studs or sill plates. This is so I don't get rattles & other noise when turning the shower faucet on and off. I notice, though, that if I bang on the pipes I sometimes get a creak between the pipe and wood so I have been putting rubber gasket material between the pipe and the wood. Are there better ways of doing this ?? I've heard that some people leave the pipes free and just stuff insulation in the holes where the pipes go through the studs and plates. Tell me the best way to do this so I will have a noise free installation in the shower and other fixtures. I'm a freak when it comes to unnecessary noise.
Thanks in advance for any help I can get on this subject.
