Hey guys, the rubber mounts for my Factory Pipe Type 4 Dry pipe are not in great shape. Where can I find replacements?
Where to buy dry pipe rubber isolators?

Mcmaster-Carr has them
Measure the existing ones you have and you should be able to find the correct ones on the Mcmaster-Carr website

Are the mounts standard thread and not metric? That may change things.

I ended up ordering a set from Rhaas. After looking around he was the only one who had the right size in stainless.
I know myself, I'm lazy and either too drunk or hungover for maintenance. I need stainless hardware.

As far as I know he is the ONLY one with stainless lord mounts, but I could be wrong...

I think you could fabri-cobble something together from mcmaster but the rubber mounts with stainless inserts are 1in instead of 1.5 inch so youd have to make up the difference with hardware.
At the end of the day I took the easy way out and spent more money.

McMaster had exactly the ones I needed back when I ran dry pipes. Perhaps they don’t have them anymore.
Glad you found the correct size ones, I’ve always been very skeptical of the rhass mounts because these pipes are heavy and are subject to a lot of vibration. A mount that excessively restricts that vibration just means that vibration energy remains in the pipe which can lead to cracking. I’ve seen it happen, just be mindful of this and keep an eye on it.
Solid/more rigid mounts aren’t always the proper solution in all cases
