What Is Izocam 5 Inch (140 mm) Glass Wool Preformed Pipe?
Thermal insulation is essential for maintaining energy efficiency, system performance, and operational safety in industrial facilities and large-diameter mechanical piping systems. Izocam 5 Inch (140 mm) Glass Wool Preformed Pipe is manufactured from high-density glass wool, providing an effective insulation solution for demanding applications.
Available in uncoated and aluminum foil-faced versions, this product is widely used in industrial piping, central heating systems, boiler installations, and solar energy applications. It also helps reduce condensation, prevent freezing, and minimize sound and vibration transmission in pressurized water pipelines.
Installation Guide for Izocam 5 Inch (140 mm) Glass Wool Preformed Pipe
Before installation, select a preformed pipe insulation that matches the 5 inch (140 mm) nominal pipe diameter. Open the insulation along its factory-cut slit and position it around the pipe. Ensure that all joints fit tightly without gaps.
For uncoated products, the insulation should be protected with one of the following external coverings:
-
Bitumen emulsion
-
Bituminous membrane
-
Galvanized steel jacket
-
Aluminum cladding
These protective layers may be secured using adhesive bonding, locking seams, riveting, or screws.
For aluminum foil-faced products, the self-adhesive overlap simplifies installation. All joints should be sealed with self-adhesive aluminum foil tape at least 75 mm (7.5 cm) wide to create a continuous vapor barrier.
In double-layer applications, stagger the joints between layers and position the outer layer joint on the underside of the pipe whenever possible.
