Anvil Fig 160 pipe covering protection saddle is designed to protect pipes and pipe insulation against damage. It is ideal for insulated high-temperature systems where heat losses are to be kept to a minimum.
Features:
- It features a curved carbon steel plate that cradles the pipe to offer a watertight covering to all points of pipe support.
- The saddle is 12 inches long and is welded to the pipe for distributing loads and to keep the vapour barrier intact.
- It allows for a finished, weather-tight covering at all points of pipe support to enhance the system's durability and protection in diverse weather conditions.
- This pipe covering protection saddle is capable of withstanding a maximum temperature of 650 degrees F and has a load capacity of 1200 lb.
Standards and Approvals:
- A-A-1192A (Type 39A & 39B)
- WW-H-171-E (Type 40A & 40B)
- ANSI/MSS SP-69
- MSS SP-58 (Type 39A & 39B)
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What are high-temperature insulation systems?
A. High-temperature insulation systems are used to protect devices from extremely high temperatures.
Q. Is this item available in other variants?
A. Models 165A and 166A are available in Grade 22 chrome molybdenum steel plate construction for rigidity, ductility and corrosion resistance.
Q. What is the purpose of the base in pipe saddles?
A. Anvil pipe saddles feature an integral base that supports the pipe by transmitting loads or forces uniformly.
Q. What factors should I consider when selecting a pipe covering protection saddle for my application?
A. Major factors include pipe diameter, insulation type, weight capacity, operating temperature, environmental conditions, material compatibility, adjustability and pre-drilled holes.
Q. How does this saddle protect insulated pipes?
A. The saddle securely cradles insulated pipes, preventing compression or damage to the insulation and thereby maintaining thermal efficiency.
Q. How do I maintain Anvil FIG 160 pipe covering protection saddle?
A.
- Perform regular inspections to detect wear, damage or corrosion in the saddle.
- Lubricate moving parts such as bolts and nuts to prevent corrosion and enable smooth adjustments.
- Keep the saddle and its surroundings clean to maintain performance and safety.
- Check and maintain the torque of bolts and nuts, ensuring they remain properly secured.
- Verify correct alignment with the supported pipe or tube to prevent uneven loads.
- Protect the saddle from extreme environmental conditions that can affect material integrity.
- Ensure that the saddle is not subjected to loads exceeding its specified weight limits.
