Securing rooftop mechanical installations is a critical need for most building owners and facility managers to ensure that the equipment and the people working under it are safe. Rooftops are challenged with high wind conditions and seismic events which can cause damages to the equipment and disrupt services. The Green Link has introduced a custom-engineered family of molded straps and caps for securing pipes and struts for its KnuckleHead rooftop support product line to increase the stability of pipes, conduit, channel, and related mechanical equipment.
The Straps and Caps from Green Link are made of tough, weatherproof urethane material and feature a striking safety yellow color. The straps and caps are custom-engineered to fit the unique shape of the KnuckleHead head designs. There is growing interest in securing rooftop mechanical installations, and the straps and caps satisfy local code requirements.
The Heavy Pipe KnuckleHead Strap secures a 3-inch outside diameter pipe, while the Strut Support Strap fits steel or aluminum Unistrut-type channel. The Lite Pipe Support Cap is designed to secure a single 1-inch nominal pipe or two 1/2-inch nominal pipes. Pipe supports are attached with standard stainless-steel sheet metal screws, which are supplied with the heads. The Strut Support straps are available in nominal pipe sizes ranging from 1/4 inch to 6 inches. Custom straps are available by special order. These elastomeric straps slide into the strut channel and snap in place, eliminating the need for screws.
The Green Link design engineer, Ondrej Pekarovic, explains that these products have been designed to fit the unique shape of their head designs. The straps and caps significantly increase the stability of pipes, conduit, channel, and related mechanical equipment. Furthermore, they are designed to satisfy local code requirements which make them an excellent choice for building owners and facility managers.
The Strut Channel is a critical component in securing large mechanical equipment to the rooftop. Stainless Strut Channels are made of high-quality stainless steel and are highly resistant to weather conditions, making them durable and long-lasting. Rooftop Support solutions must take into account the unique needs of each rooftop to ensure that the equipment is secured and stable, and that the installation is up to code.
In conclusion, the Green Link family of custom-engineered molded straps and caps for securing pipes and struts for its KnuckleHead rooftop support product line provide a much-needed solution for building owners and facility managers who need to secure mechanical equipment on the rooftop. These straps and caps are custom-engineered to fit the unique shape of the KnuckleHead head designs, and they satisfy local code requirements. The Strut Channel is a vital component of the installation, and the use of stainless steel channels ensures durability and long-lasting solutions.
