Installation Guide

Select the preformed pipe insulation that matches the 169 mm nominal pipe diameter.

Open the insulation along its factory-cut slit and place it around the pipe. Ensure that all joints fit tightly without leaving gaps.

For uncoated products, protect the outer surface using:

• Bitumen emulsion
• Bituminous membrane
• Galvanized steel cladding
• Aluminum cladding

For aluminum foil-faced products, seal all joints with self-adhesive aluminum foil tape at least 75 mm (7.5 cm) wide to create a continuous vapor barrier.

For double-layer installations, stagger the joints between layers to maximize insulation performance.

Thermal Performance

The thermal conductivity of Izocam Glass Wool Preformed Pipe varies according to operating temperature:

• 25°C: 0.033 W/mK
• 75°C: 0.040 W/mK
• 125°C: 0.050 W/mK

These values demonstrate consistent insulation performance across a wide range of operating temperatures.
