I-Clip™
Anti-Corrosion Pipe
Support Clips
for Grinnell Clamps & Pipe Cradles
By
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.
