iShields™
An iShield is a saddle like 180 degree rounded piece of galvanized coated steel used to protect pipe insulation from compressing at hanger locations. Insulation Components inventories thousands of parts for fast shipping on stock orders. Manufactured to various sizes, lengths, and gauges. Stainless Steel is available. Shipped in square buckets or boxes.
Rib and Flare iShields™ Are a 180 degree rounded pieces of galvanized coated steel used to protect pipe insulation from compressing at hanger locations. These IC iShields come with flared edges and ribs machined into each part. The flared edges help the iShield from cutting into the pipe insulation which damages the vapor barrier. The Ribs aid in the alignment of the iShield. They ensure the Shield is placed directly below the hanger and help to alleviate the iShield slipping out of place with pipe movement. It is suggested that wood or fiberglass iBlocks be used along with the iShields to guarantee the proper support.
iShields™ with Flare are a 180 degree rounded piece of galvanized coated steel used to protect piping insulation from compressing at pipe hanger locations. IC Pipe iShields come with flared edges machined into each part. The flared edges protect the iShields from cutting into the pipe insulation which damages the vapor barrier. It is suggested that wood or fiberglass iBlocks be used along with the iShield to guarantee the proper support.
No Flare/Straight iShields™ are a 180 degree rounded piece of galvanized coated steel used to protect pipe insulation from compressing at the pipe hanger locations. It is suggested that wood or fiberglass iBlocks be used along with the iShield to guarantee the proper support.
MSS Series iShields™ are a 180 degree rounded piece of galvanized coated steel used to protect piping insulation from compressing at pipe hanger locations. These iShields resist crushing the insulation at the point of support when the insulation has more than 5% deformation at 30 psi. These specifically designed iShields are conformed with Federal Specification WW-H-171 (Type 41), Manufacturers Standardization Society ANSI/MSS-SP-58 (Type 40); install in accordance with ANSI/MSS-SP-69. It is suggested that wood or fiberglass iBlocks beused along with the iShield to guarantee the proper support.
Old Method
Step 1
Step 1
Step 1
Place IC iBlock Support into pipe insulation in the location of future IC Pipe iShield and clevis hanger position and cut around the wood block to get the desired size of block.
Step 2
Step 1
Step 1
Pull " Block Section" out of pipe insulation that was done in Step 1.
Step 3
Step 1
Step 3
Replace the "Block Section" with an IC iBlock Support into the pipe insulation in the location of future IC Pipe iShield and clevis hanger position.
Step 4
Step 4
Step 3
Wrap the pipe insulation around the Iron Pipe and place in the location of future IC Pipe iShield and clevis hanger position.
Step 5
Step 4
Step 5
Begin by lifting the appropriately sized IC Pipe iShield upwards towards the insulated pipe to just outside the hanger location. Proceed by sliding the IC Pipe iShield underneath the hanger until the hanger is in the middle of the iShield.
