I had 3 solutions - 1. JH stole my suggestion. Fill it full and nothing can move. 2. I carry a ladder and it is up against my pipes and itself becomes a barrier. 3. create a block (or two) with a flat side and rounded side and wedge between pipe and basement wall. Anchor the wedges and the pipe will be better stablized.

I think you're right,I'll wedge a block between the pipe and wall and than load up the basement against the other side of the pipe.
Thanks, Jack

Here's a question I'd really like to know.
On a 3400RL 2008 down in the basement how do you protect the vertical plumbing? Iam try to figure out a way to keep anything from sliding into it. The vertical pipes are about 2" away from the bulkhead and flexible. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks, Jack

I had a sheet metal cover made to protect mine, but I have a 3670 so do not know if it is the same situation as yours.

Protect the plumbing from what? I don't have anything in there that would move around enough to hurt the plumbing. If I think something will move, a few bungy cords take care of it.

It wouldn't worry me if it wasn't for that gap between the pipes an the bulk head.Any thing loose could crack or break'em Iam containing everything in plastic containers.I can just grab those pipes and they flex very easy.
