Insulated Supports (Figures 4500 – 4800)

Insulated pipe supports are designed to prevent direct heat transfer between pipes and their supports. Thus, they reduce heat loss due to conduction at each support. They serve the following purposes: Carry the load and allow necessary movement at each suppose point, provide insulation in the support area where the regular pipe insulation cannot be installed and minimize the cost of field installation by reducing installation time. The supports are not welded to the pipe and each unit is shipped completely assembled (except for the riser supports and anchor supports, both of which require some welding).

Insulation Chart

Size Range: For use with 1/2″ through 72″, most designs. insulation thickness of 1″. 1-1/2″, 2″, 2-1/2″, 3″, 3-1/2″, 4″ and larger sizes where specified.
How to Size: Refer to “Insulation Chart” below for Sizing the Insulation Material.

Ordering: Specify figure number, pipe size, insulation thickness, and insulating material

Example:
Fig. 4700-4-3-B
• 4700 = Type of Insulated Shoe (cold)
• 4 = Nominal Pipe Size
• 3= Insulation Thickness
• B = Insulation Material (Micarta)
