Item # BK12, Buckaroo Pipe Insulation Supports
List Price QUOTE


  • Installation is quick, easy, and low-cost. Just cut your hole and insert the Buckaroos Support. The support can be installed after the pipe insulation is applied, versus cutting out for blocks or dowels before installation of the pipe insulation.
  • Buckaroos Supports are excellent for chilled water piping.
  • Buckaroos Supports fit especially well with vapor barrier systems because the PVC disc is also a vapor barrier. When used with ASJ tape discs, Buckaroos Supports re-establish the vapor barrier.
  • Buckaroos Supports are easy to identify. The contractor and engineer can view the PVC disc from the outside of the insulation and verify that there is a support in place.

    Applications
    Buckaroo Supports are used at hanger locations where the insulation must resist compression. Buckaroo Supports rest on the Buckaroo Insulation Saddle, which is installed between the insulation surface and the pipe hanger.

    Buckaroo Supports can be used on piping when operating temperatures range from -120°F to +200°F. Buckaroo Supports work well with fiberglass, rubber, polyethylene, urethane, and mineral wool pipe insulations.


    Guide Specifications
    Wherever pipe insulation passes through a hanger location, install the Buckaroo Insulation Support System with Buckaroo Saddles. The length of the Buckaroo Insulation Support must be the same length as the pipe insulation thickness. The following table explains the number of Buckaroo Supports needed, based on the pipe size.


    Recommended Installation Instructions
    For chilled water, refrigerant, or brine piping, which requires a total vapor seal, an ASJ Tape Disc must be adhered over the outside of each Buckaroo Support to provide a complete vapor seal.

    Buckaroo Supports should be installed from the outside of the pipe insulation after the insulation has been installed on the pipe. Buckaroos offers the Easy Grip Hole Cutter, which is perfect for the installation of Buckaroo Supports. After cutting the hole in the outside of the insulation, insert the Buckaroo Supports. If a complete vapor seal is required, apply an ASJ Tape Disc over the outside of the PVC Disc.
