Apollo Sheet Metal, Inc.

Kevin Beck visited my job site "The Tulalip Hotel and Conference Center" in early 2007. We were getting ready to start hanging plumbing pipe from the second floor. The Mechanical Shield sample he left with the live hinge and the snap interlock seemed to be a product I would like to try. The shields are easy to install speeds up production of pipe installation as well as pipe insulation. We placed an order and it was delivered on time and complete. We had some odd ball sizes and Mechanical Pipe Shields was able at every turn to provide the proper shield. We used them on horizontal storm drain up to 12" and copper pipe 5" to 3/4". I was so impressed with the shields that I forwarded the information to my office to be shared with other Plumbing managers and foreman. All in all the insulating shields provided by Mechanical Pipe Shields were superior in quality to others on the market and the service was unbeatable. I look forward to our next project where I can use them again.

We have found that the PVC-jacketed shilds marketed by Snappitz are quick and easy to install, nicer for the insulation contractor to butt up to, and do not suffer the crumbling, waste and powder residue frequently associated with the old-fashioned calcium silicate shields. Our pipefitters prefer to use these shields over the old-style ones as they hold up much better in pre-installation handling, and more importantly the men are able to avoid inhalation of the calcium silicate particulate.

Since we have found these PVC shields to be no more costly than the old cal-sils, we have adopted this Snappitz brand as our company standard (in the sizes that are thus far available). We look forward to the addition of more and larger sizes in the near future.

Eagle Harbor Associates, LLC

During the past year, Eagle Harbor has been introduced to a revolutionary new thermal pipe shield, the Trymer 2000 Snapp Itz. After using the Snapp Itz on the Snoqualmie Valley Middle School project, we made a companywide decision to exclusively use the Trymer 2000 Snapp Itz. This is the thermal pipe shield of the future. The advantage of the Snapp Itz was clear from day one. The Trymer 2000 Snapp Itz not only saves labor, but also is a much cleaner material to handle and store.

The days of handling heavy/dusty boxes of calcium silicate shields are over. Once our guys in the field got their hands on this product, they won't use anything else.
