Insulation Hangers for Commercial and Industrial Applications

Insulation Pins and Hardware

Wide range in stock

Insulation hangers are essential fastening components designed to secure insulation materials to walls, ceilings, equipment, and ductwork. These support systems prevent sagging, maintain thermal efficiency, and ensure insulation materials remain properly positioned throughout their service life.
At FM Insulation, we supply professional-grade insulation hangers for projects across New South Wales, Australia and overseas. With over 50 years of experience in the commercial and industrial insulation industry, our team provides practical advice to help you select the right support system for your application.

Our Two Main Product Types

We specialise in two primary categories of insulation hangers, each designed for specific applications and installation requirements.

Perforated Base Hangers

What are Perforated Base Hangers?

Perforated base hangers feature a perforated base plate with multiple holes and an extended pin or nail.. These hangers are fixed to surfaces using adhesive.

Key Features

Versatile Fixing Options

Base plate with multiple holes
Suitable for any substrate type (metal, concrete, timber, masonry)
Attached using adhesive and or mechanical fixings.
No special equipment required

Material Options

Nail: Low carbon steel, copper plated
Baseplate: Low carbon steel, galvanised
Aluminium and Stainless Steel hangers available via special orders

Design Variations

Standard perforated base: Flat mounting for walls and ceilings
Various pin lengths available: 19mm, 33mm, 41mm, 62mm, 90mm, 110mm, 140mm, 165mm
Pin diameter: 2.7mm (12 Ga.)
Baseplate: 5cm x 5cm (2 inch x 2 inch)

Applications

Commercial Buildings

Suspended ceiling insulation systems
Wall cavity insulation support
Curtain wall applications
Commercial building envelopes
Architectural installations where aesthetics matter

Industrial Facilities

Overhead duct insulation
Equipment room ceiling insulation
Manufacturing facility applications
Warehouse insulation systems
Areas requiring removable/accessible insulation

Ideal When:

Welding is not permitted or practical
Working with non-metallic substrates (concrete, masonry, timber)
Installation in occupied buildings (no hot work)
Adjustable or removable insulation required
Aesthetic appearance is important

Installation Method

See manufacturers detailed installation instructions prior to use
Before using, the user must test this product to determine its suitability for their specific application.
Clean parent surface area.
Apply adhesive to the hanger. Prepare only one hanger at a time.
Select hanger location then press hanger firmly into place with a twisting motion to assure an even spread of adhesive.
Allow adhesive to cure thoroughly before installing insulation or other materials. A minimum of 24-48 hours is required.
Hang insulation or other materials and secure with self locking washers or caps.

Advantages

✓ No welding equipment required – reduces installation costs and permits
✓ Works on any substrate – concrete, steel, timber, masonry
✓ Suitable for occupied spaces – no hot work or fumes
✓ No power source required – simple hand tools only
✓ Excellent for overhead applications – particularly ceiling insulation
✓ Long service life – galvanised or stainless options resist corrosion

Hanger Loading / Spacing

Hanger loading should not exceed 1.36kg (3lbs) per hanger
Hanger spacing should not exceed 30.48cm (12 inches) on center

Self-Adhesive Insulation Hangers

What are Self-Adhesive Hangers?

Self-adhesive insulation hangers (also known as peel and press hangers) feature a pre-applied pressure-sensitive adhesive backing. These hangers require no welding, drilling, or special equipment—simply peel off the protective backing and press firmly to the surface.

Key Features

Quick Installation

To be installed onto clean flat surfaces where the host metal surface operates at temperatures between 0°C to 60°C. Outside these temperatures the hangers will fall off the host surface.
Pre-applied industrial-grade adhesive pad
No equipment required
Clean, quiet installation process
Ideal for retrofit and occupied buildings

Design Variations

Pin lengths available: 20mm, 31mm, 45mm, 51mm, 62mm, 90mm, 110mm
Square adhesive baseplate: 5cm x 5cm (2 inch x 2 inch)
Pin diameter: 2.7mm (12 Ga.)
Materials:
Nail: Low carbon steel, copper plated
Baseplate: Low carbon steel, galvanised
Aluminium and Stainless Steel Nails available via special orders

Temperature Range

Foam tape continuous service temperature: 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F)
Application temperature: Best results are obtained when ambient temperature during application is between +15°C and 48°C (+60°F and 120°F)
Not suitable for high-temperature industrial applications
Ideal for HVAC and commercial building environments

Applications

HVAC Systems

Ductwork insulation (fibreglass wrap and board)
Air handling unit insulation
Commercial building mechanical systems
Indoor air-conditioning ductwork

Commercial Buildings

Office building HVAC systems
Retail facility ductwork
Hospital and healthcare mechanical rooms
Education facility installations
Commercial kitchen ventilation (where temperatures allow)

Residential Applications

Multi-dwelling unit developments
Apartment building ductwork
Residential HVAC installations
Basement and ceiling insulation support

Ideal When:

Working on galvanised HVAC ductwork
Welding is prohibited or impractical
Quick installation is priority
Noise restrictions apply (occupied buildings)
No hot work permits available
Installing lightweight insulation materials

Installation Method

See manufacturers detailed installation instructions prior to use
Before using, the user must test this product to determine its suitability for their specific application.
Wipe parent surface clean.
When ready to apply, peel off protective paper release backing.
Select hanger location, position hanger on one edge of its base, then press hanger firmly into place.
Hang insulation and secure with self locking washers.

Surface Compatibility

Do not use on:

Any concretes
Any wood surfaces
Single ply roof decks
Metal buildings
Any surface where reverse (apposite) side may be exposed to heat concentrations caused by sunlight etc direct or otherwise
Not generally recommended for use on painted surfaces

Hanger Loading / Spacing

Hanger loading should not exceed 0.9kg (2lbs) per hanger
Hanger spacing should not exceed 30.48cm (12 inches) on centre

Advantages
✓ Extremely fast installation – no equipment needed
✓ No hot work permits required – ideal for occupied buildings
✓ Clean and quiet process – no welding fumes or noise
✓ Works on galvanised surfaces – perfect for HVAC ductwork
✓ Cost-effective – no equipment or power required
✓ Safe installation – no electrical or welding hazards
✓ Professional appearance – clean, neat finish

Limitations

✗ Temperature limited – not suitable above +60°C or below 0°C
✗ Surface preparation critical – adhesive fails on dirty/contaminated surfaces
✗ Not for outdoor use – UV and moisture exposure reduces adhesion
✗ Won’t work on rusty surfaces – requires clean substrate

Spacing Guidelines

HVAC Ductwork Applications
25mm insulation: 400mm centres
38-50mm insulation: 300mm centres
75mm insulation: 250mm centres
Overhead ducts: reduce spacing by 30%
Important: Always install additional hangers at duct corners, bends, and joints where stress concentrations occur.

Choosing Between Perforated Base and Self-Adhesive

Use Perforated Base Hangers When:
✓ Substrate is concrete, masonry, or timber
✓ Working on overhead ceiling applications
✓ Surface preparation is difficult or impractical
✓ Environmental conditions are harsh

Use Self-Adhesive Hangers When:
✓ Installing on clean galvanised metal surfaces
✓ Speed of installation is critical
✓ Working in occupied buildings (no hot work)
✓ Insulation thickness is 100mm or less
✓ Foam tape continuous service temperature range is: 0°C to 60°C
✓ Surface is smooth, clean, and accessible
✓ Budget constraints favour quick installation
✓ Noise restrictions apply
