Warwick Hanger 1551-2 Pipe Insulation Shield 2 Inch

Product Description

The WARWICK HANGER 1551-2 is a galvanized carbon steel pipe insulation shield designed to protect foam, fiberglass, and high-density pipe insulation at hanger support points. Fabricated from 18-gauge carbon steel with a galvanized plated finish, it fits 2-inch pipe with an inner diameter of 2-3/8 inches and a shield length of 10 inches. Plumbers and mechanical contractors install this shield between the pipe hanger and the insulation jacket to prevent crushing or damage at the support location, maintaining insulation continuity and thermal performance throughout the run.

This insulation shield is suited for residential and commercial plumbing and mechanical piping systems where insulated lines must be supported without compromising the insulation layer. Typical applications include chilled water lines, domestic cold water piping, and HVAC refrigerant suction lines where foam or fiberglass insulation is used. The 18-gauge carbon steel construction provides the structural rigidity needed to carry pipe load at each hanger point without deforming the insulation beneath it. Each order includes 25 shields, making it practical for multi-hanger installations on a single piping run.

Key Features

• 18-gauge carbon steel construction resists deformation under pipe load at hanger points
• Galvanized plated finish provides corrosion resistance in mechanical room and plenum environments
• 2-3/8 inch inner diameter sized for 2-inch pipe with insulation clearance
• 10-inch shield length distributes hanger load across the insulation surface
• Compatible with foam, fiberglass, and high-density pipe insulation types
• Sold in a 25-piece pack for efficient stock on multi-hanger jobs

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard pipe hangers on 2-inch insulated pipe. Suitable for protecting foam, fiberglass, or high-density insulation in conjunction with pipe hanger assemblies on insulated piping systems.

Installation Notes

Licensed plumbers and mechanical contractors typically install pipe insulation shields during the rough-in or insulation phase of a project. The shield is placed around the insulated pipe at each hanger location before the hanger is tightened, seating between the hanger saddle and the insulation jacket. Verify the shield inner diameter is appropriate for the combined pipe and insulation OD before installation. Follow applicable IPC and local mechanical code requirements for hanger spacing and support on insulated lines.
