– Piping: Pipe covering without
integral jacket shall be held in place with insulation fastening
at not less than 300 mm centres. Pipe insulation with integral
jacket shall be held in place by stapling the flap on 75
mm centres. Pipe insulation with integral self-sealing jacket
will not require additional fastening.
– Fittings: Insulate
fittings with sections of the pipe insulation mitred to fit
tightly, or insulating cement, or with tightly
placed flexible insulation covered with reinforcing membrane
stapled in place. Alternately insulate fittings with tightly
placed flexible insulation and apply PVC fitting covers.
– Valves,
Strainers: Insulate valve bodies and strainers with insulating
cement, or fitted pipe insulation segments, or mitred
blocks all to thickness of the adjacent pipe insulation or
insulate with tightly placed flexible insulation covered with
reinforcing membrane stapled in place. Drains, blowoff plugs
and caps shall be left uncovered. Alternately insulate with
tightly placed flexible insulation and apply PVC fitting covers.
(See Note 1).
– Flanges: Insulate flanges with oversized
pipe covering or mitred blocks to and applied in accordance
with
the manufacturer's
directions. (See Note 2) the thickness of
the adjacent pipe covering. Alternately insulate with tightly
placed flexible
insulation and apply PVC fitting covers. (See Note
1)
– Insulation Termination Points: Terminate
insulation 75mm from fittings to provide working clearance
and bevel insulation
at 45° angle.
