Insulation Protection Shield

The shield is specifically designed to be placed between the hanger surface and insulated pipes to distribute the load and prevent the crushing of insulation material.

These shields are essential for HVAC and insulated piping systems, where maintaining pipe temperature is critical.

Hira Walraven manufactures these shields from high-quality steel, available in both pre-galvanized and electrogalvanized finishes.

Yes, the electrogalvanized shields are produced in accordance with ASTM B633 and BS 1706 FE/ZN 12 standards, ensuring reliable corrosion resistance.

By preventing insulation from being compressed at support points, the shield eliminates thermal bridging and helps avoid moisture buildup or pipe sweating in chilled water applications caused by damaged or compressed insulation.

Absolutely. They are designed to fit between the pipe hanger (such as a clevis or split clamp) and the insulated pipe to ensure a uniform load distribution.

Yes, Hira Walraven provides BIM objects for the all product range. We can share material-based models that engineers and draftsmen can use to build their own assemblies, or fully assembled models that can be directly placed into project files.

All Hira Walraven support products have their technical properties established through standardized measuring methods that consider maximum safe working loads and deflection.

Yes, the company offers hands-on training and site assistance to ensure that shields and hangers are correctly applied to prevent insulation damage.
