Advanced technology for pipe support

Advanced technology for pipe support
Kwik Block, a universal pipe clamp, is easy to install for use with metal pipe, copper pipe, stainless steel pipe, pvc pipe, plumbing pipe, Corrosive environments, and cabling systems.</b>

The Kwik Block acts as a pipe standoff bracket or mounting block. It works well for an individual pipe or to support and secure bundles of wiring or tubing.

Kwik Block eliminates the need or worry of stocking all of the clamp sizes because of its V-Shape in combination with any tether it fits any size. Insulated pipes are easily secured with Kwik Block.

Pipe Clamp: non metallic so by design it inhibits electrolysis

Pipe Clamp: non metallic so by design it inhibits electrolysis
Kwik Block offers the leading fastening system to secure piping and tubing in corrosive or wet environments.  Kwik Block is a non metallic pipe clamp that naturally inhibits electrolysis, or galvanic action, caused by dissimilar metals, which is a leading cause of pipe system failure.

Universal pipe clamp that will not corrode

Universal pipe clamp that will not corrode
Kwik Block is a universal pipe clamp made from a very strong high density copolymer polypropylene; a fastening system that's virtually impervious to water, UV rays, corrosion, and chemicals.

This unique fastening system can be adhered to most any surface by use of nails, screws, or adhesives.

By combining Kwik Block (quick block) with a tethering system it can be used to secure and/or support most sizes of piping, tubing, wiring bundles, or other products that need to be secured.  Learn more - click here.

Research: corrosion in fastening systems leading cause of pipe failure

Research: corrosion in fastening systems leading cause of pipe failure
Corrosion at pipe supports is one of the leading causes of topside process piping failure. This paper will discuss the various corrosion mechanisms that occur at pipe supports if they are not adequately protected. I-Rod, a proven method of prevention with a long record of successful application will be presented. This paper also discusses inspection strategies for pipe supports and provides a simplified visual screening method that has proved useful in mechanical integrity programs. [read study click here]

The Kwik Block acts as a pipe standoff bracket or mounting block. It works well for an individual pipe or to support and secure bundles of wiring or tubing.

Kwik Block eliminates the need or worry of stocking all of the clamp sizes because of its V-Shape in combination with any tether it fits any size. Insulated pipes are neatly secured with Kwik Block.

Kwik Block is adaptable to metal channel and other hardware for dissimilar metals separation.

Kwik Block comes in two sizes; (large or small) and two styles; (with side mounting ears or without ears).  All Kwik Blocks have a countersunk hole in the center(your pipe will not be in contact with the screw).

Wire & Pipe Clamps: Innovation In Plumbing & Electrical Industry

Wire & Pipe Clamps: Innovation In Plumbing & Electrical Industry

Use Kwik Block singularly or adapt it to other hardware; use anywhere pipe standoff is needed. Kwik Block easily adapts to other hardware such as beam clamps (for mounting pipe to steel beams) or spring nuts for metal struts (use as pipe cradle and insulator) to prevent electrolysis.

Use Kwik Block as a roof top mounting block. We recommend stainless steel cable ties for roof top use.
