Each PVC Fitting Cover will come with a Fiberglass Insert Wrap which should be wrapped around the elbow to ensure how to insulate a 90 degree elbow is done correctly, making sure the entire pipe is insulated. Place the molded PVC Fitting Cover over the Fiberglass Insert Wrap and overlap the inside flaps to make a tight fit on both pieces of Fiberglass Pipe Insulation, demonstrating how to duct wrap a 90 degree elbow seamlessly. For the most secure closure, we recommend the use of Serrated Stainless Steel King Tacks which are small serrated thumb tacks that will pierce the two layers of PVC and hold them securely, a vital tip in how to replace a 90 degree PVC elbow effectively. |

| On smaller fittings only 2 King Tacks are necessary, on larger fittings 3 or more are suggested. | White PVC Vinyl Tape can be used to seal the seam between the PVC Fitting Cover and the Fiberglass Pipe Insulation. |
*The first step in purchasing PVC Fitting Covers is figuring out what PVC Size you need. The PVC Size is based on the size of the pipe and the thickness of the pipe insulation you are using, crucial for how to install pipe covers on different pipe sizes.
