Description
Pipe support locations are one of the most common points of failure in insulated piping systems. Without proper insulation at hangers and supports, systems are vulnerable to thermal bridging, condensation, and, eventually, corrosion under insulation (CUI).
Aerofix® Insulated Pipe Supports are patented and engineered to maintain the integrity of insulation and vapor barrier at pipe hanger locations. Unlike some inserts or field-fabricated solutions, Aerofix provides seamless EPDM thermal performance and zero-permeance (zero-perm) moisture resistance.
Designed for use with elastomeric insulation systems, our insulated pipe supports ensure consistent insulation thickness and eliminate compression at support points—helping engineers and contractors maintain system performance from specification through installation.
When specified as part of a complete insulation system, Aerofix helps protect long-term energy efficiency, reduce maintenance risk, and ensure reliable mechanical system performance. Our pipe supports may also be used with trapeze (strut), split-ring, clevis, roller, clamps, and straphangers.
Aerofix is available in a wide range of pipe diameters and thicknesses up to 12-inch IPS and 2-inch wall thickness. See data sheet for more details.
