FRP pipe insulation make piping system more efficient and durable if installed correctly. Fiberglass pipe manufacturers bring simple installation tips for frp pipe insulation project that can be accomplished with the help of a few basic tools and care. Read this article further to know how experts do it. 1.Pick your choice of adhesive FRP pipe insulation is available in two types of adhesive, either single-back or double-back. Both types of adhesives have a layer of paper on the outside that you simply pull away while fitting it to the pipe. Single-back adhesive links to the pipe and a double-back adhesive includes two bands of adhesive that stick together when the insulation is fitted over the pipe. There are many DIYs shared by people who mentioned that single-back insulation is easier to work with.
2.Cut insulation to fit First you need to measure the length of the FRP pipe you want to insulate and cut a length of frp insulation accordingly. As you will need to cut holes for the valves or t pipes in the right place on the insulation, make sure any valve or t pipe branch off from the main pipe. 3.Cut valve holes You need to hold the horizontal length of insulation against the section of pipe and mark the cut space for sections. You can use marker or make small slits in the insulation where these areas will be. To cut the insulation, you can use kitchen knife that is at least 5 to 6 inches long and sharp enough. Make right size holes and cut slits from them in the paper backing to get the insulation around the T pipes and the valves. 4.Cut out space inside insulation Once you have cut the holes of valves, you will require opening it and making space in the fiberglass in order to fit it properly around the valves. 5.Fit insulation around pipe Work your section of frp insulation across the pipe section using adhesive strip facing you. You need to fit it securely. Trim the extra fiberglass around the valves. This is the guide shared by fiberglass pipe manufacturers to perform installation of frp pipe insulation at your site.
