1. Great Product - Not so great chart

   Posted by Andy from New Hampshire on 10th Dec 2019

   I purchased the 1" thick pipe insulation for my residential steam system. Anecdotally speaking... my basement is now less warm, my living spaces are slightly warmer, and my boiler is firing less to keep the temperature the same. Goals accomplished.
   
   Tips for any other clueless homeowners, such as myself.:
   -The self-adhesive strip really needs be rubbed on to get it to stay adhered.
   -Try to keep the outer jacket of the insulation dust free (difficult in my crawlspace) as it will help with the self-adhesive strip.
   -You will use more ASJ Max tape than you expect!
   -Use sharp/new razor knives to cut it. Cuts easy!
   
   It's a great product, and easy to work with, but rated 4 out of 5 because I found the sizing chart confusing. It's difficult to access some of my pipes so I used calipers to measure the OD. Some of my pipes were different sizes from what was listed in the chart so I had to "guess" as to what to order. Lucky for me only 10 pieces were unusable so I ordered a second batch a size up/down from my original order.
   
   When in doubt... call 888-367-8931

9. Works well

   Posted by Lisa H. on 18th Nov 2019

   We recently removed the asbestos from our heat pipes and thought the abatement company would reinsulate them with Fiberglas. They said they could do it - for $3500 - so we decided to do it ourselves. It was pretty easy because the product is sturdy and works way better than the sample pieces I bought at Home Depot. We’re not quite done and now the weather has turned cold but the house heats up quickly and the new insulation seems to work quite well. It also looks nice and neat and we’re looking forward to finishing up with the pvc covers for the elbows, etc.

10. Fibreglass pipe insulation

    Posted by Barry S. "Tennessee Steam" on 14th Nov 2019

    45 years ago somebody decided to insulate a few of the more accessible steam supply lines in the basement/boiler room crawlspaces. 1974 newspaper is what was handy I guess. after reading various posts on heating help dot com and watching a couple of Dan Holohans steam videos I knew one of the headline upgrades to make our old house radiators work as originally designed was some of this stuff - mains pipe insulation.
    
    despite the shipping cost to tennessee it was still much more economical than a local supply house and SO much better a product than big box stores limited offerings. hardest part was finding someone willing/capable of dealing with the narrowest corners of crawlspace to install.
    
    careful measuring of pipe OD and looking up the chart for nearest rounded down nominal pipe size avoided costly returns. tubes easily fit onto the pipes and secure snuggly with sticky tab that runs the length. large roll of max tape recommended for extra cuts of length, corners, hangers etc. we also double taped the pipe lengths of most difficult access areas, just to be sure I don't have revisit in my lifetime. On a budget, I cheated using pipe wrap on junctions and corners after trying to cut out bevelled joints - the insulation cuts very easily, but not so in very constrained spaces. not great, but ok. perhaps spend the money on the products here to complete the otherwise very clean and professional look of the insulation once the butt joints are taped up.
    
    ship out and delivery was fast.
    radiators getting steam evenly now
    
    *Barry, great review. Newspaper was a common pipe insulation back in the day. We see this a lot on older homes when you open the walls up. ~ BIP
