Galvanised Back Plates – Corrosion-Resistant Pipe Mounting Solutions
Galvanised Back Plates provide durable, corrosion-resistant mounting support for pipe bracket systems in harsh or outdoor environments. Manufactured from zinc-coated steel, these plates offer long-term protection against rust, moisture, and chemical exposure. Ideal for industrial and agricultural installations, galvanised plates ensure structural integrity where standard steel would deteriorate.
What Are Galvanised Back Plates?
Galvanised back plates are steel mounting plates coated with zinc through a hot-dip galvanising process. This coating forms a robust barrier that protects against corrosion and weathering. Offering the same load-bearing strength as standard steel plates, these galvanised versions are engineered for long-term use in demanding conditions.
Benefits of the Galvanising Process
- Metallurgical bond: Zinc fuses with the steel surface, preventing peeling and flaking
- Dual protection: Offers both barrier and sacrificial protection against corrosion
- Longevity: Galvanised coatings can last over 50 years in standard atmospheric conditions
- Cost-efficiency: Reduced need for maintenance or replacement over time
Common Applications for Galvanised Back Plates
- Outdoor pipe installations and HVAC systems
- Coastal areas requiring salt-spray resistance
- Chemical plants and industrial processing facilities
- Agricultural buildings exposed to moisture and chemicals
- Underground pipe systems requiring anti-corrosion protection
Environmental Advantages
- Recyclable: Zinc is a naturally occurring, fully recyclable material
- Low environmental impact: Extended product life reduces waste and resource use
- Sustainability: Helps meet eco-friendly construction standards
Galvanised back plates are a responsible choice for sustainable construction and long-term infrastructure planning.
Installation and Compatibility
Professional installers benefit from the simplicity of galvanised back plate installation:
- Compatible with M10 fixings and standard mounting hardware
- No special tools or techniques required
- Fully compatible with standard munsen rings and bracket systems
- Ideal for retrofits or replacements in existing installations
Compliance with Industry Standards
All our galvanised back plates conform to BS EN ISO 1461 for hot-dip galvanising standards. This ensures consistent thickness, coating quality, and corrosion resistance. Despite their advanced protection, these plates remain competitively priced—providing top-tier performance without premium cost.
Strict Quality Assurance
Each batch undergoes rigorous testing for coating thickness and adhesion. We only work with certified galvanising facilities to maintain consistent quality. Certificates of compliance are available upon request for regulated or documented installations.
