Warwick Hanger 1551-6 Pipe Insulation Shield 6 in Galvanized

Product Description

The WARWICK HANGER 1551-6 is a galvanized carbon steel pipe insulation shield engineered to protect pipe insulation at hanger support points. With a 6-5/8-inch inner diameter and 10-inch length, it fits standard 6-inch pipe and provides a rigid bearing surface between the hanger and insulation. The shield is formed from 18-gauge carbon steel with a galvanized plated finish for corrosion resistance. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install these shields during new construction and retrofit work to prevent insulation compression and damage where hangers bear on insulated pipe runs.

This shield is suited for commercial and industrial piping systems where pipe insulation must be preserved at support locations. It is compatible with foam, fiberglass, and high-density insulation types commonly found on chilled water, hot water, and process piping. Each order includes 25 shields, making it practical for larger piping projects that require consistent insulation protection across multiple hanger points.

Key Features

• 6-5/8-inch inner diameter fits standard 6-inch pipe insulation OD
• 10-inch shield length distributes hanger load over a wider contact area
• 18-gauge carbon steel construction provides rigid support without crushing insulation
• Galvanized plated finish resists corrosion in mechanical room and exposed piping environments
• Compatible with foam, fiberglass, and high-density pipe insulation
• Sold in a quantity of 25 per package for multi-hanger applications

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard pipe hangers on 6-inch insulated pipe runs where foam, fiberglass, or high-density insulation requires protection at support points.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters as part of insulated piping system support work. Wrap the shield around the pipe insulation at each hanger location before setting the hanger, ensuring the shield seats fully and evenly around the insulation circumference. Follow applicable mechanical and plumbing codes for hanger spacing and support requirements. Shut off and depressurize the piping system before making any modifications to existing hanger assemblies.
