I-Clip™
Anti-Corrosion Pipe Support Clips for Grinnell Clamps and Pipe Cradles

Below are the basic specifications for I-Clip, which can be used to prevent pipe support corrosion on both pipe cradles (or saddles), and also on Grinnell clamps. The Clip itslef can be made from one of five materials ( I-Rod, I-Rod HT, and THREE types of PEEK). PEEK is a new material for environments that prove too severe for I-Rod or I-Rod HT (though these instances are rather rare).
