I seriously doubt the building code will allow you to install anything on a roof without anchoring it down, no matter what the owner wants.
You better not be in a hurricane or tornado prone area. Hurricane wind resistance is 140 mph in many cases. David L. Miller, P.E.

The roof will support the system piping, structurally speaking, but I cannot penetrate the roof membrane due to the owner being concerned about moisture (I.E. - Rain) seeping through the roof and building. I am considering using rubber-made pyramid adjustable support brackets in lieu of pipe stands since I cannot anchor it to the roof deck/membrane. Does anyone here have any experience in this type of situation ? If so, what was your solution ?
