Warwick Hanger 1551-8 Pipe Insulation Shield 8 Inch

Product Description

The WARWICK HANGER 1551-8 is an 18-gauge carbon steel pipe insulation shield designed to protect foam, fiberglass, and high-density pipe insulation at hanger support points. Finished with a galvanized plating for corrosion resistance, this shield fits an 8-5/8-inch inner diameter and measures 10 inches in length. Plumbers and pipefitters install it between the pipe hanger and insulation jacket to prevent crushing or damage at the bearing point. Each order includes 25 shields, making it a practical supply-quantity purchase for commercial and industrial piping projects.

This shield is used on insulated piping systems where standard hangers would compress or cut into foam or fiberglass insulation. Typical applications include mechanical rooms, commercial HVAC hydronic systems, and industrial process piping where 8-inch pipe runs require continuous insulation integrity across support locations. The 18-gauge galvanized carbon steel construction holds up in both interior and damp mechanical environments.

Compatibility

Designed for use with pipe hangers on 8-inch insulated piping systems carrying foam, fiberglass, or high-density insulation.

Installation Notes

Installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters as part of a pipe support assembly. Position the shield around the insulation at each hanger location before securing the hanger to prevent insulation compression. No special tools are required beyond standard pipe-support hardware. Follow applicable IPC and mechanical code requirements for hanger spacing and support on insulated pipe runs.
