Manufacturer: KINGSPAN TECHNICAL INSULATION

Kingspan Kooltherm Insulated Pipe Support Inserts

Kingspan Kooltherm Insulated Pipe Support Inserts are available to suit a full range of pipe diameters and in a full range of insulation thicknesses and densities. 

In addition to allowing a continuous vapour barrier on below ambient systems, thermal analysis of a + 75°C LTHW system to BS EN ISO 10211: 2007 (Thermal bridges in building construction. Heat flows and surface temperatures. Detailed calculations) has shown that Kooltherm® Insulated Pipe Support System can limit heat loss by up to 4 x more than rubber lined pipe clips, 5 x more than metal pipe clips and 10 x more than hardwood pipe support inserts.

Load bearing calculations for the standard range of Kooltherm® Insulated Pipe Support Inserts are based upon the minimum compressive strength of the relevant density. They are designed to support the static compressive loads imposed by horizontal water filled mild steel and copper pipework with hanger supports spaced at the maximum centres shown in the product installation guide. Kooltherm® Insulated Pipe Support Inserts are not designed to accommodate pipe anchor loads and stresses.

Benefits are:

  • Provide optimal load-bearing capacity and offer protection against insulation compression
  • Designed for use in pipe supports, hanger brackets and clamps
  • Will support compressive loads imposed by horizontal pipework carrying water or other liquids
