  • Patent number: 9869421
    Abstract: Insulated pipe support apparatuses, systems and related methods are disclosed herein. An insulating support body section of support insulation for holding and insulating pipes installed within a structure can include a pipe receiving portion having a mounting side and a receiving side. The mounting side can have a mounting surface being configured to reside adjacent a mounting surface of a structure. At least one channel can be formed within the pipe receiving portion through the receiving side such that the pipe receiving portion forms side walls of the channel, the at least one channel being configured to receive one or more pipes with the side walls of the channels having a strength to support the section of pipe extending through the channel without need for additional weight bearing supports. The insulating support body section can have a thermal conductivity that is less than the thermal conductivity of the pipes that are to be inserted into the respective channels.
