INSULATION FASTENERS: "J" - HOOK

The J-Hook weld pin is an insulation fastener, fabricated from a double point weld pin of the arc stud welded variety. Shaped in a “J’ just like its name, this weld pin is usually part of a combination of elements for affixing and erecting industrial insulation applications. A typical installation finds the shorter leg of the J-Hook “hooked” under and through wire mesh, and then tack welded into place on the mesh. Insulation is captured and mounted on the longer leg using the MIDWEST Fasteners self-locking washer. Hole diameter for the insulation washer matches the diameter of the J-Hook. The J-Hook is most often 10gauge wire diameter, with other diameters available. Mild Steel J-Hooks are common, with some Stainless Steel applications also popular.
