What diameter and spacing do you need to achieve proper support across the full run? The best choice of pipe clamp for the job will usually depend on a handful of key questions - in no particular order, the most important of these tend to be: Note that in some applications, allowing a little room for movement - whether thermal, mechanical or otherwise - is beneficial. Pipe clips usually come in either gripping (anchor) or non-gripping (saddle/guide) configurations, depending on how tightly you want the conduit to be fixed in place. They work very simply by encircling lengths of tubing or cable while affixed to walls or structures, holding conduit firmly in place wherever you need it to go. They’re made from various materials ranging from plastic to copper, stainless steel, brass and chrome, and are available in numerous different bracketing and mounting options (single-screw, two-screw or three-screw, bolt-down, clip-in, and so on). Pipe clips and clamps come in a wide range of sizes and diameters. We know the basics of what they are, but how do pipe clamps work exactly? Well, that depends very much on the job you want them to do.

In any number of scenarios where you might want to affix, support and restrain pipes, tubing or cables along walls and under ledges, you shouldn’t have a problem finding the right size and style of pipe clamps on sale to handle the job perfectly - as long as you know what you’re looking for, that is! The tubing is thus held securely in place and supported over the full length of its run, ensuring a reliable and fuss-free mounting solution. The clip then screws or bolts (either directly or via a hanger bracket) to whichever wall or surface you’re running the pipe along, be it wood, tiling, plaster or masonry. Pipe clamps are circular or semicircular brackets, sometimes incorporating a spring clip or ‘bossed’ system, that - when chosen correctly - fit snugly around the conduit, cables or tubing you’re installing. They’re one of the various types of channel support system, most commonly found in plumbing, heating, drainage and electrical work.

Install time for Insuguard Multi is 40 percent faster than metal or plastic shields and 80 percent faster than clamps or collars.Pipe clamps - often referred to as pipe clips or sometimes saddle clamps are relatively simple fittings widely used in many DIY/installation settings. 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.
