mounting columns


Explanation:
Colonne montante can house electrical wiring or plumbing, and can also be posts to which other elements are attached. I would simply use mounting column unless you have further evidence that these columns are structural supporting elements.
Good luck

riser


Explanation:
I think that colonna montante refers just to vertical plumbing pipes, but do verify.

Riser, riser pipe, or vertical riser (a bit redundant...)

disagree  Maureen Young: What do you base this on? :-) Do a google search and you'll find services: plumbing and wiring. Amy's definition may be right, or it may only refer to plumbing, the most common usage.
