RockLap H&V Pipe Supports

Designed to reduce the thermal bridge at the point in which the pipe hanger clips are located, RockLap Pipe Supports can be combined with RockLap H&V Pipe section insulation solutions to provide a total thermal solution for pipework with the additional benefits of fire safety and acoustic comfort. The supports provide an effective insulation solution capable of maintaining the energy efficiency of cold/hot steel and copper pipes operating at temperatures of 0–250°C. They are designed for use in pipe supports, hanger brackets and clamps, providing effective load bearing capability and point load resistance.

The non-directional nature of stone wool fibres offers excellent sound insulating properties that minimize noise transfer and dampen vibration. The supports in conjunction with RockLap H&V Pipe Sections help minimize sound transfer through pipework around a building which has the potential to create disturbance to building occupants.

Pre-formed and pre-cut into sections with a foil facing finish to provide an integral vapour barrier, they are simple to install with a self-adhesive overlap. They are available to suit a wide range of typical pipe diameters (17–210 mm), insulation thicknesses (20–100 mm) and lengths (80 or 100 mm). Heat losses from service pipework can have a significant effect on energy savings within any building. As with all insulation applications, thermal bridging as a result of combining different thermally performing products can lead to variations in performance and even losses when comparing the installed system to the designed system.

Features and benefits:

• Energy-efficient – minimizing thermal bridging.
• Robust foil facing to maintain a vapour control.
• High point load resistance and effective load-bearing capability.
• A total insulation solution when combined with RockLap H&V pipe sections.
