A pipe clamp has a continuously extending, circularly shaped resilient strip comprising a plurality of outwardly extending nub members. Each of the nub members is separated from each adjacent nub member by intervening pipe gripping sections. The clamp is configured to circumscribe and be compelled against the surface of the pipe by means of the spring like nature of the strip and attached to the pipe by end clips. When pipe insulation encircles the pipe and is positioned on the nub members, the pipe insulation is in spaced relation to the pipe surface and a vapor barrier is formed between the insulation and pipe surface. As insulation is never in contact with the surfaces of the pipe, any “pipe sweat” will not be absorbed by the insulation.

An insulated pipe support includes a base, a thermal insulation block, a cradle plate, and a mounting strap. The base has two side rails each having a strap mounting flange with a strap passage therein. The insulation block is configured to fit upon the base between the side rails. The cradle plate has main portion and two vertical end portions having a curved cradle which conforms to the exterior of an insulated pipe. The mounting strap includes two oppositely disposed mounting ends which are configured to extend through the strap passage of the lugs. Six threaded studs with matching nuts extend from the base, through the insulation block and cradle plate to secure the position of each.

A pipe-on-pipe pipe support apparatus and method of use is disclosed. The pipe support apparatus has an upper corrugated support surface comprised of a series of valleys and ridges and a bottom have a support surface that conforms to the curved or circular surface of an underlying pipe support structure such as a pipe. The bottom surface and support surface create flanges or guides to hold the pipe support apparatus upon the underlying pipe support structure. The support surface may be a skid-resistant support surface. The supported piping is positioned to rest solely upon the ridges on the upper surface of the pipe support apparatus.

A pipe insulation coupling (10) for supporting a pipe (11) and for coupling adjacent ends of pipe insulation tubing (14) is disclosed. The pipe insulation coupling (10) comprises an outer tube wall (22), a first planar interior wall (23) and a scaling mechanism (18). The outer tube wall extends along a longitudinal axis (33) between a first end (37) and a second end (38). The outer tube wall is split longitudinally from the first end to the second end to define a first body portion (39) and a second body portion (40). The first planar interior wall extends inwardly from the outer tube wall transverse to the longitudinal axis between the first and second ends. The first planar interior wall includes a center bore (28) for receiving the pipe. The first planar interior wall provides an abutment for the adjacent ends of the insulation tubing. The sealing mechanism extends longitudinally between the first and second ends of the outer tube wall for securing the first and second body portions together to retain the pipe and adjacent ends of insulation tubing. The sealing mechanism comprises an outward sealing face (29) at an end of the first body portion and an inward sealing face (30) at an end of the second body portion. When the pipe insulation coupling and the pipe insulation tubing are installed on the pipe, the sealing mechanism forms an air-tight seal to prevent air from entering the pipe insulation coupling.

A pipe insulation shield includes a metal sheet having first and second longitudinal edges, an arcuate shape from the first longitudinal edge to the second longitudinal edge, and first and second arcuate edges. The arcuate shape defines a channel with a lower portion that has first and second opposing, U-shaped apertures passing through it, which define opposing first and second metal tabs. Each of the first and second tabs is pivotable from a first position parallel to the lower portion of the sheet to a second position transverse to the lower portion of the sheet, and each of the first and second tabs pivots towards the other when pivoted from the first position to the second position. The tabs are sufficiently spaced apart from each other to accommodate different support structures. In advantageous embodiments, the four corners of sheet are rounded.
