Abstract
A system for organizing, insulating and supporting pipes within a mechanical/electrical/plumbing (MEP) rack including a composite panel supported in the rack, the composite panel being fabricated from a first non-metallic panel and a second metallic panel, the first panel being adhered to a rear surface of the second panel. A plurality of passageways extend through the composite panel, each passageway being defined by a first opening extending through the first panel and a second opening extending through the second panel. So that the innermost diameter of the first passageway is defined by the first panel, the second opening is arranged concentrically around the first opening.
Claims7
A mechanical electrical plumbing corridor rack comprising:
- a frame having a first end and a second end,
- a nonmetallic first panel,
- a metal second panel coupled to the first panel thereby forming a composite panel, the composite panel being positioned in and supported by the second end of the frame and including a plurality of passageways extending therethrough, and
- a first metal pipe extending through and supported within a first passageway of the plurality of passageways,
- wherein the first metal pipe is in direct contact with the first panel and spaced apart from the second panel;
- wherein the first passageway is defined by a first panel sidewall and a second panel sidewall, the first panel sidewall directly supporting the first pipe and the second panel sidewall being spaced apart from the first pipe.
