Pyrotek supplies a range of pins and hangers to allow mechanical fixing of preformed insulation materials to various surfaces.

This comprehensive range covers stud weld pins, plain perforated base hangers for adhesive attachment, and pressure sensitive adhesive (self adhesive) base hangers for hassle free installation.

PINS and HANGERS can be used with any type of insulation that can be pierced by the metal spindles. PINS are stud-weldable, made suitable for bonding either ferrous metals (mild steel or stainless steel pins) or aluminium (aluminium pins).

HANGERS comprise a range of pins mounted to per-forated metal base plates that can be bonded to a workpiece using a suitable solvent or water based mastic adhesive or a pre applied self-adhesive. Plain metal HANGERS can be used on steel, aluminium, glass, timber, brickwork, concrete, blockwork and plaster.

Self adhesive HANGERS have a solid metal base plate incorporating a self-adhesive foam pad backing. They can be used on steel, aluminium and glass. But are not suitable for use on timber, brickwork, concrete, blockwork, plaster or other porous surfaces.

After application of the PIN or HANGER and piercing of the insulation, a self-locking washer (CLIP or DOME) is applied over the protruding spindle to re-tain the insulation. CLIPS are used where the protrud-ing spindle section can be cut away or bent over to avoid potential spiking of the operator.

DOMES are used on the spindle to cover the protrud-ing section and make the sharp spindle end safe for the operator.
