Kwik Block: new technology pipe hanger

A  pipe support or pipe hanger is a designed element that transfer the load from the pipe to the supporting structures. The load includes the weight of pipe proper, the content the pipe carries, all the pipe fittings attached to pipe and the pipe covering such as insulation. The four main functions of a pipe support are to anchor, guide, absorb shock and support a specified load. Pipe supports used in high or low temperature applications may contain insulation materials. The overall design configuration of a pipe support assembly is dependent on the loading and operating conditions.
