Pipe Anchors - Pumps, Valves, Piping and Fittings
Pipe anchors are fixed pipe-support components used to restrain marine piping and control axial movement, vibration, and thermal loads. They are installed on piping connected to pumps, valves, fittings, tanks, and shipboard systems.
ProShipWorks provides end-to-end support to source and supply Pipe Anchors for marine vessels, ship operators, industrial facilities, maintenance teams and procurement departments.

Standards, Certifications & Class Approval
Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.
| Applicable Standards & Certification | Design and installation may be governed by ASME B31.3, ISO 15649, EN 13480, applicable shipyard specifications, and relevant flag-state or classification requirements. No single universal standard applies to every marine pipe anchor. |
|---|---|
| Class Approval | Approval is generally based on the piping support design and ship structure rather than a universal product certificate. Where required, verification may involve DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, or ClassNK. |
Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information
| Installation Notes | Position the anchor according to the approved piping stress and support plan. Weld or bolt it to suitably reinforced ship structure, maintain required alignment, and avoid imposing excessive loads on pumps, valves, and equipment nozzles. |
|---|---|
| Maintenance Tips | Inspect welds, bolts, clamps, corrosion protection, and pipe contact areas during planned maintenance. Check for looseness, distortion, cracking, coating failure, and abnormal vibration. |
| Safety Notes | Confirm pipe isolation, depressurization, drainage, and gas-free conditions before work. Use approved lifting, welding, hot-work, and confined-space procedures, and verify that temporary restraints are provided where required. |
