How are pre-insulated supports made?
Pipe Shields Inc.www.pipeshieldsinc.com
O After the selection process, cut & form all steel materials then weld them together
O Create, pour and cut insulation material
O Assemble insulation material and steel cradle
O Package together and shipO Supports are usually
shipped as one unit & then disassembled & reassembled during installation
An employee cutting the insulation
material
InstallationO Disassemble pre- insulated
supportO Slide insulation inserts
onto the pipeO Interlock top insert with
bottom insertO Install pipe hanger
hardware (clevis or hanger)
O Attach other necessary hardware
