Why do you support piping?
Long or irregular designed pipe runs are affected by the weight of liquid, temperature variations, and gravity. Without proper support these sagging pipes that are part of a plumbing, mechanical, refrigeration, or air conditioning system can be displaced, damaged, or even worse, break at the joints and burst. Most plumbing and building codes require support for horizontal pipelines every 3 feet for pipe in ½ -1 inch diameters, and every 4 feet for pipe with diameters greater than 1 inch.
How do you support water pipes?
There are several types of pipe support systems, like clips, clamps, hangers, sway braces, turnbuckles, anchors, rollers, and numerous types of brackets. These inadequate pipe suspension systems however often lack proper design and can cause pipe displacement, rotation, and thermal insulation damage. Armacell’s Insuguard® and Insuguard Multi® pipe saddles are the best solution when compared to traditional saddles. Insuguard and Insuguard Multi are designed to accommodate movement of the pipes generated by thermal expansion and vibration. With its unique sliding design at each end, Insuguard effectively cradles and protects pipes allowing them to expand and vibrate. Insuguard Multi is a versatile pipe saddle that provides all the advantages of Insuguard, plus it is compatible with different types of suspension systems. Interchangeable adaptors make Multi compatible with any chosen saddle size on various sizes of struts, H-Beam, I-Beam, steel angles, clevis hangers and even floor mounts. 
In addition to preventing displacement, thermal bridging, and condensation formation, Insuguard is UL listed in the US (UL-723(ASTM E84) and ULC listed in Canada (ULC-S102.2). Insuguard and Insuguard Multi are also quick and easy-to-install. There are no tools required and just a simple click is all it takes to lock the adaptor in place on the support. Install time for Insuguard Multi is 40 percent faster than metal or plastic shields and 80 percent faster than clamps or collars. Insuguard provides solutions to challenges of falling saddles, mold growth, condensation, refrigerant leaks, insulation tear-off and inefficient labor and material use
