Welcome to Pipe Shields, Inc.

In business since 1971, Pipe Shields Inc. established itself as one of the world's leading designers and manufacturers of a unique line of pre-insulated pipe supports, slides, guides and anchors. Pipe Shields innovated methods to produce a consistent, uniform, and non-labor intensive insulated pipe support constructed to prevent direct heat transfer between pipes and their supports.

Pipe Shields, Inc. was acquired from the Shaw Group in August 2004 by Piping Technology & Products, Inc. For more than 10 years Pipe Shields and PT&P have reached throughout world markets to design and develop for power, petrochemical, chemical, and commercial industries. The accomplishments of our high-quality products are a direct result of years of research and engineering to create cost-efficient products.

Picture	Name	Description
	Commercial & Light Industrial Pre-Insulated Pipe Supports (A1000 thru A9000)	For smaller loads and movements. Commonly used on chilled and heated water systems. Most popular with mechanical contractors.
	Base Mounted Pre-Insulated Pipe Supports (B1000 thru B8300)	For larger loads (vertical and lateral) and movements. Supports the pipe from below. Commonly used in heavy industrial and large HVAC distribution systems.Slide plates and guides are optional.
	Pipe Anchors (C1000 thru C4300)	For larger multi-directional loads and movements. Supports the pipe from below. Restrains movement of the piping system. Used in heavy industrial and large HVAC applications.
	Hanger Type Pipe Supports (D1000 thru D6300)	For larger loads and movements. Supports the pipe from above (with one or two hanging rods). Used in heavy industrial and large HVAC applications.
	Insulated Pipe Riser Clamps (E1000 thru E2300)	For both smaller and larger loads and movements. Supports the pipe in a vertical "riser" configuration. For commercial, light and heavy industrial and large HVAC distribution systems.
	Pipe Clamps, Pipe Guide Straps, Pipe Guide U-Bolts (G1000 thru G3000)	Misc. pipe clamping hardware (typically used in conjunction with Pipe Shields A1000 through A9000 series insulated supports).
