FOAMGLAS® Supports

  • FOAMGLAS® insulation has the ability to be used as a pipe support component to eliminate or significantly reduce the potential problems of direct thermal paths in the piping system
  • Made primarily out of FOAMGLAS® insulation, Rilco reinforces the insulation with various structural components, giving it the ability to carry high loads.
  • Resistance to settlement or failure of insulated pipe supports also means that pipes remain in their proper alignment, without stresses at nozzles, flanges or fittings
  • FOAMGLAS® insulation supports it own weight making it ideal for vertical pipe runs of all heights
  • FOAMGLAS® can be used for high temperature, low temperature and even dual temperature applications

Service temperature range:

  • High temperature: 0°F to 900°F
  • Low temperature: -450°F to 200°F
  • Dual temperature: -450°F to 900°F

Perlite pipe supports are applicable in high temperature environments up to 1000 °F.

Mineral Wool pipe supports are applicable in high temperature environments up to 1200°F

Benefits of using FOAMGLAS®:

  • 100% moisture impermeable insulation
  • Non-combustible
  • Non-absorbent
  • Corrosion resistant
  • Constant, long term energy efficiency provides low, predictable energy costs
  • Minimal maintenance/repair/replacement of insulation reduces life cycle costs
  • Proven durability for both underground and exterior installations

Features of Dual-Temperature FOAMGLAS®:

  • Vaper barrier
  • Tie-in with sheet metal
  • Resting, Guided, Anchored and Directional Stop applications
  • Available for all design loads
  • Clamping forces to prevent slippage of pipe through support with Bellevile washer bolt assemblies

Ideal choice for the following applications:

  • Cryogenic Systems
  • Chemical processing systems
  • Above and underground chilled water piping
  • Low/Med/High temperature pipe & equipment
  • Heat transfer fluid systems
  • Off-shore platforms
  • Above ground steam lines
  • Hydrocarbon processing systems
  • Heat traced pipes and equipment
  • Low/medium/high temperature pipelines & equipment
  • Above and underground chilled & hot water piping
  • Pulp/paper mills and water treatment plants
  • Food processing/cold storage facilities and breweries

Cyclic and dual-temperature applications
