Product Information

Once you’ve chosen the pipe insulation, measure the first length of pipe you’re going to be working on. Take a knife and cut the pipe insulation to the length required, then simply open the foam insulation at the ready-made slit and slide the insulation over the pipe. To seal the insulation, either remove the strips on the self-adhesive insulation or add an adhesive. We’d also recommend using duct tape or insulating tape to secure adjacent pieces of foam pipe insulation together. There are several different pipe insulation products available to add layers of insulation to your pipes within the home or other building. Polyethylene foam pipe insulation If reaching a 90-degree sharp bend, take the knife and cut the pipe insulation at a 45-degree angle. Then put the two pieces of insulation over each side of the 90-degree bend in the pipework, and twist them so that the two ends fit together flush. Then use duct tape or insulating tape to secure them together. The misleading part is that tubing Outside Diameter measurement is not the Nominal Pipe Size – confusing right? This creates perplexing plumbing problems when trying to measure pipe size. Copper Pipe Size Don’t sweat it, we will get you measuring pipe like a pro in no time! Our free pipe wrap-around ruler is perfect for measuring the size of any type of plumbing pipe – including iron, PVC, copper, and more.

The OD of a plumbing pipe is measured as the name implies is the width of the outside of the pipe. Whereas NPS takes the Outside Diameter of a pipe and crossreferences it with an ASME chart to get the “nominal size”. There are a few ways to measure pipe size, and we will save the best for last! With each means of measuring your pipe, you will need these charts to convert your Outside Diameter measurement into Nominal Pipe Size. Copper Pipe NPS Reference Chart Copper Pipe Size Another way to measure pipe size is to measure the pipe’s circumference, convert that measurement into a diameter, and then reference its Nominal Pipe Size. If you can’t see with your peepers what size of pipe you are looking at there are a few ways to measure your plumbing. How Do I Measure My Pipe Size? To ensure you have the correct size of pipe insulation, measure the diameter of a visible section of pipework. Choose the size of pipe insulation that is most suitable for your pipework diameter. Then measure the length of pipes that you’re going to insulate, to calculate how much insulation you require.Insulating pipes within the home can provide several benefits, and pipe insulation can be used on both hot and cold pipes. Reduce heat loss

To install pipe wrap insulation, tape one end of the insulation to the pipe. Then wrap the insulation around the pipe, aiming for tight spiral loops with overlaps of half an inch or more. The simplest way to measure your pipe’s outside diameter is across the end of the pipe itself with a measuring tape or ruler. For example, tubing – like the soft copper you find in rolls, is measured by the Outside Diameter. The OD of copper tubing rounded to the nearest 1/8th of an inch for accuracy. Pipe Wraps comprise layers of a graphite-based intumescent sheet encapsulated in a polythene sheath. The product is designed to be wrapped around the outside diameter of the pipework or trunking and is secured by means of a self-adhesive strip. The Intumescent Pipe Wrap is then positioned within the compartment wall or floor so that the edge of the product is left exposed at the face of the wall or soffit.Under fire conditions, the intumescent material within the wrap expands inwards against the structure and fills the void left by the burnt out pipe. It is important to ensure all areas of the pipe network are insulated so that the pipe insulation is effective. Often there are gaps where pipes run through a wall or floor, and these can contribute to a loss of heat or increased risk of freezing. Therefore we’d recommend filling these gaps wherever possible, using caulk, small sections of pipe insulation or even spray foam insulation. What if you don’t own a set of callipers or math was your most hated subject in school? We hear you! Each are printed with a scale in inches/cm, an inch/cm chart, tangent chart, and other helpful markings to help make a straight line around pipes. Soldering copper pipes with an open flame may seem intimidating but fear not. With our guide, we will take you from beginner to soldering pro in no time!

Slide the Pipe Wrap on top of the shuttering being used for the making good. Ensuring that the bottom edge of the wrap will be exposed in the floor slab when the shuttering is removed. In this blog post, we’ll take a closer look at what intumescent fire pipe wraps are, why they are important, and how to install them in different types of scenarios. Web.Config Configuration File --> The Intumescent Pipe Wrap is then positioned within the compartment wall or floor so that the edge of the product is left exposed at the face of the wall or soffit. All you need to do is wrap a string or a flexible tape measure around the outside of the pipe. Now, take this measurement and divide it by pi(pi = 3.1415). This calculation is the plumbing pipe’s Outside Diameter that you can use to look up the Nominal Size.
