The bolted pipe shoe is one of the workhorses of the pipe support industry. HPS offers galvanized bolted pipe shoes in our Series 6000. The bolted design eliminates the need for welding the shoe directly to the pipe. The medium duty clamps tightly grip the pipe and the shoe will move with the pipe as it expands and contracts. Pipe shoes are often used with limits or stops (in either the lateral or axial direction) and can be customized in other ways. Gusset plates can be added to the ends of the shoes to provide reinforcement. Typically pipe shoes NPS 6″ and smaller will be un-gusseted. Most customers request gussets on pipe shoes starting at size NPS 8″ or 10″.
