What it does Transfers the vertical load of piping directly to the building structure, preventing pipe weight from bearing on insulation or finishes. Why you need it Protects piping runs and surrounding materials by moving structural loads to the building frame. Reduces labor and material costs by removing the need for glue, tape, metal shields, or rigid insulation inserts during installation. Durable galvanized steel construction resists corrosion and maintains long-term performance in mechanical and plumbing systems. Key features Function: load transfer from vertical piping to structural members. Material: galvanized steel for strength and corrosion resistance. Installation advantage: designed to eliminate additional sealing, shielding, or rigid insulation inserts commonly required to support load-bearing pipes. Performance: maintains structural integrity of piping installations while simplifying the penetration or riser support details. Practical applications Multi-story plumbing risers: support stacked water or waste pipes through floor penetrations without relying on insulation or temporary shields. Fire‑sprinkler mains and vertical runs: transfer sprinkler system weight to the building structure for secure, code-compliant support. Mechanical service shafts and equipment rooms: provide a reliable support point for vertical process pipes where space or finishes prevent use of bulky inserts or metal shields. Installer benefits Faster installs: fewer accessory materials and fewer installation steps. Cleaner handoffs: reduces the need for corrective work related to crushed or shifted insulation and taped seals. Durable solution: galvanized steel construction reduces risk of premature failure or corrosion at load points. Compatible with standard vertical piping installations that require load transfer to the building structure. Use where reliable support, reduced accessory material, and corrosion-resistant construction are priorities.
