To prevent the support from scuffing or damaging the pipe as it expands and contracts, a 6 mm thick layer of felt or lagging material is wrapped around the support.

If a strap is fastened around a pipe, it should not distort the pipe in any way.Ī free support allows the pipe to move without restraint along its axis while still being supported. Metal straps used as supports should be at least 25 mm wide, either plastic-coated or wrapped in a protective material such as nylon or PE sheet. Brackets and Clipsįor either free or fixed pipeline supports using brackets or clips, the bearing surface should provide continuous support for at least 120° of the circumference. Where there is a risk of explosion, such as in some mining applications, safety precautions may be required. Metal surfaces should be insulated from the pipe by plastic coating, wrapping or other means.Ī build-up of static electricity on the outside surface of PVC pipes can occur. Pipe hangers should not be over-tightened. Clamp, saddle, angle, spring or other standard types of supports and hangers may be used where necessary. The pipe must be adequately supported in order to prevent sagging and excessive distortion. If a pipeline is subjected to continuous vibration such as at the connection with a pump, it should be connected by a flexible joint or, if possible, the system should be redesigned to eliminate the vibration. Any deviations will result in undue stress on the jointing fittings which could lead to premature failure. Where connections are made to other sections or to fixtures such as pumps or motors, care should be taken to ensure that the sections are axially aligned. Where a PVC pressure pipeline is used to supply cold water to a hot water cylinder, the last two metres of pipe should be made of copper and a non-return valve fitted between the PVC and copper line to prevent pipe failure. PVC pipe should not be laid on steam lines or in proximity to other high temperature surfaces. In above ground installations, pipes should be laid on broad, smooth bearing surfaces wherever possible to minimise stress concentration and to prevent physical damage.

Install time for Insuguard Multi is 40 percent faster than metal or plastic shields and 80 percent faster than clamps or collars.To be read in conjunction with AS/NZS 2032 and AS/NZS 3500. There are no tools required and just a simple click is all it takes to lock the adaptor in place on the support. Insuguard and Insuguard Multi are also quick and easy-to-install. In addition to preventing displacement, thermal bridging, and condensation formation, Insuguard is UL listed in the US (UL-723(ASTM E84) and ULC listed in Canada (ULC-S102.2). Interchangeable adaptors make Multi compatible with any chosen saddle size on various sizes of struts, H-Beam, I-Beam, steel angles, clevis hangers and even floor mounts.

Insuguard Multi is a versatile pipe saddle that provides all the advantages of Insuguard, plus it is compatible with different types of suspension systems.

With its unique sliding design at each end, Insuguard effectively cradles and protects pipes allowing them to expand and vibrate. Insuguard and Insuguard Multi are designed to accommodate movement of the pipes generated by thermal expansion and vibration. Armacell’s Insuguard® and Insuguard Multi® pipe saddles are the best solution when compared to traditional saddles. These inadequate pipe suspension systems however often lack proper design and can cause pipe displacement, rotation, and thermal insulation damage. There are several types of pipe support systems, like clips, clamps, hangers, sway braces, turnbuckles, anchors, rollers, and numerous types of brackets. Most plumbing and building codes require support for horizontal pipelines every 3 feet for pipe in ½ -1 inch diameters, and every 4 feet for pipe with diameters greater than 1 inch. Without proper support these sagging pipes that are part of a plumbing, mechanical, refrigeration, or air conditioning system can be displaced, damaged, or even worse, break at the joints and burst. Long or irregular designed pipe runs are affected by the weight of liquid, temperature variations, and gravity.
