Attaching Copper Pipe to a Concrete Block Wall?

I will be needing to do the above and my idea is to Tapcon wood blocks to the wall and then use copper straps.
Thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks!

Either way will work. Strut and strut clamps more $$$ but looks nicer. Can you run it on the ceiling or are you doing baseboard?

Copper squirms with temperature change. Use an isolator clamp, regardless if you go with strut or wood blocks, so the tube can move without wear or creaking.
Composite clamps like this could Tapcon directly to the block, plenty of choices out there. If you insulate the pipe, get a clamp large enough to surround the insulation.
Uni brand with a wide base, uses a zip tie
