I have a new laundry room added on to an old house.
This room is approximately 10′ wide.
In the closets of the old part of the house, we have rods made of pretty thick galvanized pipe held up by pretty substantial holders made of even heavier gauge metal at each end.
I’d like to span the 10′ in the laundry room over the washer/dry/sink/counter with a long rod to hang wet (<<<—key point, potentially 10′ of WET clothing) clothes from.
I’m looking for similiar strength/gauge materials to use as was used in the old closets. All I’m finding are flimsy coated wire, stamped metal?, and light-gauge brackets.
Assuming I just go to the local plumbing supply and get the thick pipe, where do I get the big pipe holders?
Thanks

1" schedual 40 pipe and floor flanges to fit...
now that would be some serious HD.... not Home Despot either...

That's what I would use too. Or you could go 1" round stock into reamed out 3/4" flanges.

junkman says to bump it to sch 80 and an intermediate hanger
I'd use 2 flanges and an intermediate hanger and 40 pipe...
yur call on the reaming... I wouldn't take the time to do that... besides the threaded ends would give a class 1 fit...Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming<!----><!----><!---->

Hmmm, we're presuming that there's "something" in the wall we can bolt those flanges "to," aren't we?
Might be easier to get the local welder to make an inverted "U" pipe frame that "we" could then flange to the floor.Occupational hazard of my occupation not being around (sorry Bubba)
If there's nothing in the wall, either run a board horizontally between studs, or run one vertically down to the floor.
If ignorance is bliss why aren't more people
happy?

Yeah, but if we use a board, we no long have a reason to recoomend sending it down to the powder-coat shop . . . <g>
Darn it, just remembered that these are "wet" clothes--we need a drip pan under this assembly. Oh, wait--flange it to the ceiling <g>Occupational hazard of my occupation not being around (sorry Bubba)
lacquered copper or stainless....
flanged up like a Rube Goldberg...
Sch 80 amd post cable tensioned up the center... did that for a 12'er and it worked...Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming<!----><!----><!---->

Your local plumbing place. If nothing else you can use a couple of pipe hangers.
happy?
R man, schedule 40 at 10 feet will sag, guaranteed. You need to have something to carry the center.

Use split ring hangers and a wall/floor flange with a 3/8" rod between to hold the pipe.
As Junk says sch 40 1" @ 10' will bow/sag

I saw the film but it could have been taken either way (left or RIGHT)
if you want to be a little trick... then you could hang it from the ceiling via the pipe type clamps they hang sprinkler pipe with you could space 2 and not need the center support 3/8 or 1/2" threaded rod... my sprinker guys have some trick lag bolts that once bolted to wood they have a threaded hole for 3/8 all thread then the split pipe hangers that hold your rod...

1 1/4 galvi will do.
bump it sch 120 then..Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming<!----><!----><!---->

1 1/4" chrome plated steel pipe with a 1" wood dowel running through it. Never tried it with 1" steel pipe running through the 1 1/4" pipe. Don't know if it fits. I.D. vs O.D.
Wall flnges on the ends.
Done.

I used to use sch. 40 but found it sagged in the middle, couldn't even hold its own weight straight. Went to commercial chain- link fence top rail-no sags. They have strong fittings, both end and center.problem solved. Jim Devier.
Instead of a pipe, what about a cable tensioned with a turnbuckle?

I've got a 10' closet full of clothes that are hanging from 1-1/2" EMT with brackets made from 1X. No sag. Drilled holes in the 1X and spanned to the nearest studs. Been that way for 24 years...
I have two eight-foot "laundry poles" in my laundry room, hanging from chains, that are completely packed solid with clothes. Probably a couple hundred pounds hanging on each one. I used 1-1/2" electrical conduit, and there is no sag (well, maybe 1/8" or so) along that 8' length. A couple of boards with 1-1/2" holes in them, screwed solidly to the wall studs, will certainly hold something like that up.
For a more decorative loot, you might want to try 1-1/2" copper water pipe, polish and lacquer it.
Does the situation permit intermediate hanger supports from above?
If it does, Spokane Hardware and their website Hardware Hut sell the good-looking rollformed steel oval tubing for hanging clothes, plus the end fittings for mounting.
