About CozyClip
Solving a problem that's existed in the trades for decades.
The Story Behind the Clip
InsulClip was founded on a simple observation: every time a pipe hanger is installed, it creates a thermal bridge — a gap in the insulation that wastes energy, causes condensation, and fails code. For decades, contractors worked around it with tape, foam scraps, and field fixes.
Our founder, Craig J. DiPetrillo, set out to engineer a better solution. The result is The CozyClip — a thermally pre-insulated pipe clamp that eliminates the thermal bridge entirely. No workarounds. No extra steps. Just a better clip.
InsulClip is headquartered in Rhode Island (USA). The CozyClip is the only ICC-ES Verified product in its category — independently tested and confirmed to deliver a 21.17°F thermal performance advantage over uninsulated pipe supports. US Patent protected with no direct competitor, InsulClip is actively expanding its distributor and contractor network across national and international markets.
Through a performance unlike anything else in the industry, InsulClip instantly became a world leader in thermally pre-insulated pipe clamp design — setting a new standard that no competitor has matched.
InsulClip is a privately owned company established in late 2020, producing the world's first thermally pre-insulated pipe clamp engineered specifically for polyethylene (PEX) tubing and mechanical pipe support systems.
InsulClip — the world leader with its one-of-a-kind, energy-efficient patented design — holds trademark protections and full patents in several countries, including the United States, Germany, Europe, and Canada. Additional patents are in progress and pending.
Introduction to the Inventor
Craig J. DiPetrillo is an entrepreneur and inventor with a background spanning architectural and engineering disciplines. He holds active certification as a Rhode Island State Building Official and a Rhode Island State Lead Inspector, and has operated as a licensed General Contractor for over 25 years.
Drawing on that depth of field experience, Craig applied his expertise across code enforcement, construction, and building science to the design and development of the Thermally Pre-Insulated Pipe Clamp — a product category that simply did not exist before he built it.
He first identified the need at a mandatory Building Officials conference held in Warwick, Rhode Island in early 2013. The meeting was convened to prepare code enforcement officials for the then-upcoming 2017 International Energy Conservation Code. Sitting in that room, Craig recognized a gap no one had solved: pipe supports were creating thermal bridges that violated the very code they were all there to learn. He sketched the concept on the spot.

Our Mission
To eliminate thermal bridging at pipe supports — making buildings more energy efficient, code compliant, and easier to build. By preventing condensation at the source, The CozyClip also promotes a healthier indoor environment, reducing the conditions that lead to mold, mildew, and the air quality issues that follow.
