I-Clip™
Anti-Corrosion Pipe Support Clips
for Grinnell Clamps & Pipe Cradles
B
y Deepwater


Clips on to new or existing saddle clamp-style supports,
eliminating the crevice at the support.

Description

I-Clip by Deepwater is an individual pipe support clip installed on the inside diameter of a pipe saddle (≤10 foot diameter). The clips themselves are mechanically held in place, allowing them to be retrofitted easily along existing pipe runs. New Grinnell and cradle-style supports can also be easily fitted with I-Clip systems. I-Clips are made out of a variety of materials, suited for elevated temperatures and large weight loads.

I-Clips are available to fit all standard size Grinnell clamps and pipe Saddles. I-Clips can be installed in new or existing pipe support clamps.

Applications

  • Pipe cradle retrofits
  • Large diameter band clamps
  • Concrete or timber pier supports
  • High load riser clamps

Key design points

  • Half-round shape
    The half-round shape minimizes contact between the pipe and the support, eliminating the crevice. Keeping water out keeps corrosion at bay.
  • Maintenance
    I-Clips also provides an electrically isolated stand-off between the pipe and the supporting beam or saddle clamp. This allows for easy maintenance and inspection, while preventing galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals (the pipe and support).
  • Durability
    The I-Clip also has excellent compressive strength, UV stability, and a very low friction coefficient, ensuring reliable service for as long as the pipe requires it.

Specifications

Below are the basic specifications for I-Rod and T-Rod HT, the materials used to make the I-Clip. Deepwater has also begun to offer PEEK material for environments that prove too severe for either (though these instances are rather rare). For information on PEEK, or a specifications for any other aspect of Deepwater's pipe support systems, please contact Farwest Corrosion Control Company.
