Plastic Shim Blocks
These are 4″ and 2″ shim blocks used in the HPS Series 2500. Plastic shim blocks are made out of UV-resistant high strength thermoplastic material and are used as a cost-effective (or more compact) alternative to steel shim blocks. Plastic shim blocks can be used in conjunction with clamps, u-bolts, and baseplates, just like steel […]
Medium Duty Pipe Clamps
Medium duty pipe clamps are mass-produced using a forming die for smaller sizing and press-breaking (sometimes called bump-forming) for larger sizes. Medium duty clamps can be furnished black/bare or galvanized. Sometimes these types of clamps need liners to prevent the clamp from touching the surface of the pipe (usually this is scene with stainless steel […]
Pipe Shoes Back from Galvanizing
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 […]
Large Order of Clamps & Beams
This was a large order of 36”, 30”, 16”, and 12” supports that shipped today. 20,000 LB’s of total pipe support weight. Custom figure 2101’s with hold down clamps, shim blocks, and baseplate with custom drilled holes to match the customer’s anchor bolt pattern.
Anti-Vibration Hold Down Clamps
A batch of hold-down clamps used where vibration suppression is needed in piping systems. These clamps are furnished with extended bolts. The longer bolts hold tension better in vibrating service.
Adjustable and Stationary Support Pedestals
Pipe support pedestals are usually made to be adjustable, but under certain circumstances a stationary solution may be needed! This is the case if the pedestal needs to be extra compact for if the cost associated with adjustability is not warranted. This photo shows examples of both for our 1001 series with cradle heads.
Packaging and Labeling is Key
Houston pipe supports takes pride is carefully labeling and packaging every order. This is an example of a pallet of small hold down clamps and baseplates. Everything has a label to streamline the field installation process for our customers.
Clamps for FRP Shielded Pipe
Some great looking hold down clamps fabricated to accommodate a custom OD for an FRP shielded pipe support application. When utilizing FRP shielding the FRP is bonded directly to the pipe as opposed to lining the clamp. While this takes more effort in the field there are long term benefits to this sort of configuration. […]
Cotton Duck Pads for Liners and Bearing
A great looking batch of 1/2″ Cotton Duck Pad (CDP) bearing pads. These premium liners that are often used to support heavy duty loads. CDP is also a great material for anti-vibration and can be used to line clamps, baseplates, and shim blocks. Two part epoxy adhesive can be used to provide a robust bond […]
UHMW Pipe Saddles
Here we have some customized UHMW-PE (Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene) Saddles that have been custom milled for NPS 20″ and 8″ piping. Holes have been added that would allow the saddle to be utilized with bolting (or u-bolts). The saddles are black in color for UV-Resistance.
PTFE Hold-Down Clamps with Custom Baseplate
These great looking 20″ Hold-down clamps are finished with a hot dipped galvanized finished and lined with PTFE. These also feature a custom baseplate that matches the bolt holes and avoids the need for attaching the bottom PTFE pad to the support surface in the field. The baseplate can simply be placed on the support […]
Box Type Hold-Down Clamps
These “Box-Type” Hold-down clamps are something you don’t see every day but have a specific purpose. Box clamps provide a vertical hold-down force while also allowing for the pipe to freely rotate and move laterally. Houston Pipe Supports can fabricate custom hold down clamps as well as catalog standard clamps.
Half Round Thermoplastic Rod Strips
Houston Pipe Supports can furnish thermoplastic half round rod in bulk 10 foot lengths. While most people are familiar with using half-round with u-bolts there are other applications for using the strips on I-beams or wide-flange beams to separate the pipe from the steel surface of the beam. Standard widths include 1.5″ and 1″.
Hold Down Clamps with PTFE
Pictures above are various sizes of HPS Series 5000 Extended Bolt Hold Down Clamps. Each Clamp is lined with PTFE and also furnished with a PTFE lined baseplate.
