3.1
EXAMINATION
A.
Verify that piping has been tested before applying insulation materials.
B.
Verify that surfaces are clean and dry, with foreign material removed.
3.2
INSTALLATION
A.
Install in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
B.
Install in accordance with NAIMA National Insulation Standards.
C.
Exposed Piping: Locate insulation and cover seams in least visible locations.
D.
Insulated pipes conveying fluids below ambient temperature: Insulate entire system
including fittings, valves, unions, flanges, strainers, flexible connections, pump bodies,
and expansion joints.
E.
Glass fiber insulated pipes conveying fluids below ambient temperature:

1. Provide vapor barrier jackets, factory-applied or field-applied. Secure with self-sealing
longitudinal laps and butt strips with pressure sensitive adhesive. Secure with outward
clinch expanding staples and vapor barrier mastic.
2.
Insulate fittings, joints, and valves with molded insulation of like material and thickness
as adjacent pipe. Finish with glass cloth and vapor barrier adhesive or PVC fitting
covers.
F.
For hot piping conveying fluids 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) or less, do not insulate
flanges and unions at equipment, but bevel and seal ends of insulation.
G.
For hot piping conveying fluids over 140 degrees F (60 degrees C), insulate flanges and
unions at equipment.
H.
Glass fiber insulated pipes conveying fluids above ambient temperature:

1. Provide standard jackets, with or without vapor barrier, factory-applied or field-applied.
Secure with self-sealing longitudinal laps and butt strips with pressure sensitive adhesive.
Secure with outward clinch expanding staples.
Insulate fittings, joints, and valves with insulation of like material and thickness as
adjoining pipe. Finish with glass cloth and adhesive or PVC fitting covers.
I.
Inserts and Shields:

1. Application: Piping 1-1/2 inches (40 mm) diameter or larger.
2. Shields: Galvanized steel between pipe hangers or pipe hanger rolls and inserts.
3. Insert location: Between support shield and piping and under the finish jacket.
4. Insert configuration: Minimum 6 inches (150 mm) long, of same thickness and contour
as adjoining insulation; may be factory fabricated.
5. Insert material: Hydrous calcium silicate insulation or other heavy density insulating
material suitable for the planned temperature range.
J. Continue insulation through walls, sleeves, pipe hangers, and other pipe penetrations. Finish
at supports, protrusions, and interruptions. At fire separations, refer to Section 07 8400.

22 07 19 7
K. Pipe Exposed in Mechanical Equipment Rooms or Finished Spaces (less than 10 feet
meters) above finished floor): Finish with canvas jacket sized for finish painting.
(3
L. Exterior Applications: Provide vapor barrier jacket. Insulate fittings, joints, and valves with
insulation of like material and thickness as adjoining pipe, and finish with glass mesh
reinforced vapor barrier cement. Cover with aluminum jacket with seams located on
bottom side of horizontal piping.
M. Buried Piping: Provide factory fabricated assembly with inner all-purpose service jacket
with
self-sealing lap, and asphalt impregnated open mesh glass fabric, with one mil (0.025 mm)
thick aluminum foil sandwiched between three layers of bituminous compound; outer surface
faced with a polyester film.
N. Heat Traced Piping: Insulate fittings, joints, and valves with insulation of like material,
thickness, and finish as adjoining pipe. Size large enough to enclose pipe and heat
tracer. Cover with aluminum jacket with seams located on bottom side of horizontal piping.
