Kingspan Kooltherm® Insulated Pipe Support Inserts

Improve Thermal Efficiency. Reduce Heat Loss. Eliminate Thermal Bridging.

Kingspan Kooltherm® Insulated Pipe Support Inserts are high-performance phenolic insulation solutions designed for use with pipe supports, hangers, brackets, and clamps in HVAC and building services applications. Engineered to support pipework carrying water and other liquids, they provide a robust load-bearing solution while significantly reducing thermal bridging and heat loss.

Why Choose Kooltherm® Pipe Support Inserts?

Traditional pipe support methods, such as hardwood blocks, can create thermal bridges, increase the risk of condensation, and make vapour barrier continuity difficult to maintain. Kooltherm® Insulated Pipe Support Inserts overcome these challenges by providing:

Excellent thermal insulation performance
Reduced energy loss across pipe support locations
Continuous vapour barrier protection
Effective condensation control on chilled and below-ambient systems
High compressive strength for reliable load-bearing support
Compliance with industry best practice standards

Superior Thermal Performance

Manufactured from advanced Kooltherm® phenolic insulation, these inserts feature a closed-cell structure that resists heat transfer and air infiltration. Independent thermal analysis has shown that Kooltherm® Insulated Pipe Support Inserts can reduce heat loss by:

Up to 4 times more than rubber-lined pipe clips
Up to 5 times more than metal pipe clips
Up to 10 times more than hardwood pipe support inserts

This makes them an ideal choice for energy-efficient heating, cooling, and process pipework systems.

Fire Performance You Can Trust

Kooltherm® Insulated Pipe Support Inserts are manufactured from fire-resistant phenolic insulation with a densely cross-linked structure that is difficult to ignite. In the event of fire, the surface forms a protective carbonaceous layer that helps limit heat release and flame spread.

Key credentials include:

European Reaction to Fire Classification: BL-s1,d0
CE Marked in accordance with BS EN 14314:2009+A1:2013
Suitable for demanding commercial and industrial installations

Compliant with Industry Standards

BS 5970:2012 recommends the use of insulated pipe support inserts to minimise thermal bridging and maintain insulation continuity. The standard also warns against the use of wooden pipe supports due to condensation risks and difficulties maintaining effective vapour barriers. Kooltherm® Pipe Support Inserts provide a compliant and technically superior alternative.
