Warwick Hanger 1551-10 Pipe Insulation Shield 10 in

Product Description

The WARWICK HANGER 1551-10 is a galvanized carbon steel pipe insulation shield designed to protect pipe insulation at hanger support points. Rated for use with foam, fiberglass, and high-density insulation, this shield prevents crushing and damage where pipe hangers contact the insulation jacket. It features an inner diameter of 10-3/4 inches, a shield length of 10 inches, and is formed from 18-gauge carbon steel with a galvanized finish for corrosion resistance. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install these shields during new construction and retrofit work on insulated piping systems.

This shield is suited for 10-inch pipe installations in commercial and industrial mechanical rooms, as well as in residential and light-commercial plumbing and HVAC piping systems where insulated lines run through hanger support assemblies. It is appropriate for chilled water lines, hot water supply, and other insulated pipe runs where maintaining insulation integrity at support points is required by specification or code. Each order includes 25 shields.

Key Features

• Protects foam, fiberglass, and high-density pipe insulation from compression at hanger contact points
• Inner diameter of 10-3/4 inches accommodates 10-inch pipe with insulation wrap
• Shield length of 10 inches provides adequate bearing surface at hanger locations
• 18-gauge carbon steel construction for structural rigidity under load
• Galvanized finish resists corrosion in wet and humid mechanical environments
• Sold in a packaging quantity of 25 shields per order

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit insulation shield for 10-inch pipe hangers used with foam, fiberglass, or high-density insulation jackets in commercial and industrial piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or mechanical contractors as part of an insulated piping system assembly. The shield is placed around the insulation prior to seating the pipe in the hanger, ensuring the hanger bears on the steel shield rather than directly on the insulation. Follow applicable mechanical codes and project specifications regarding hanger spacing and shield requirements for insulated piping. No special tools are required for placement, but care should be taken to position the shield centered on the hanger bearing point.
