Pipe Support Block

pipe-support-block

A.C.S. Insulation is the exclusive producer and world-wide supplier of the high density ‘POLY BLOCK’.

This patented pipe support block supersedes the old wooden support block technique and will revolutionise the commercial air conditioning insulation industry.

The traditional wooden block was used every 1500mm on a pipe and supported the weight of the pipe, so on a long stretch of pipe there could be hundreds of blocks. The problem with the old block was that it was 40mm wide which was the same width as the strut it rested on. It was also made of wood which meant there were a lot of condensation issues. When the pipe was insulated, installers had to vapour seal the block which was very time consuming; the clip had to be removed and the pipe had to be propped up to vapour seal the entire block, which created a number of safety issues.

Why choose high density POLY BLOCK?

  • The A.C.S. Insulation high density ‘POLY BLOCK’ eliminates ALL of the issues associated with the traditional wooden block.
  • It is 120mm long which gives you 40mm either side of the strut.
  • It can be cut to any pipe size and wall thickness.
  • It already comes with a vapour barrier so there is no need to remove the clip.
  • It eliminates safety concerns.
  • The POLY BLOCK has very high insulation properties, which means the block is no longer a weak point – the pipe is fully insulated from start to finish, including the supports
  • It is competitively priced
  • The POLY BLOCK takes the same time to install as the old wooden block however it is a far superior product and ensures a better insulated system

If you’re a mechanical consultant, remember to ask for POLY BLOCKS in your specifications.
