6. Protect pipe insulation at hangers, guides, and rollers with 20 gauge galvanized metal
shields, one-third the insulation circumference in width and minimum 150 millimeters [6
inches] in length up to 100 millimeter [4 inch] pipe size, 300 millimeters [12 inches] in
length on pipes 125 millimeter [5 inch] and larger, on the outside of the insulation and
vapor barrier or jacket. Center shield on hanger and hold shield in place by straps or by
manufactured centering tabs or channels on the shield itself. Do not pierce the insulation
with hangers.
7. Provide insert between support shield and piping. Fabricate of heavy density non-
deforming insulating material suitable for temperature. Length of insulation inserts shall
match support shield length as specified.

and sealed with adhesive. Apply adhesive to only one side of each joint and not to pipe
surface.
10. Seal all joints with BF 30-35 fire resistant vapor barrier mastic. Oversized pipe sections
or board type insulation may be used to fabricate and install insulation around pipe
specialties. All void spaces shall be firmly filled with flexible insulation to support
oversized pipe insulation.

13. Insulate and thoroughly vapor seal control valve bodies where the valve actuator
penetrates the insulation.
14. Thoroughly vaporseal the ends of all domestic cold water pipe, valve and fitting insulation
sections to prevent condensation from wicking between sections.
15. Replace any self-sealing insulation or lap that is found to be not sealing properly. Do not
use staples to secure the insulation or coverings.

E. Equipment Insulation:

1. Apply insulation as close as possible to equipment by grooving, scoring, and beveling

insulation, if necessary. As required, secure insulation to equipment with studs, pins,
clips, adhesive, wires, or bands.
2. Fill joints, cracks, seams, and depressions with bedding compound to form smooth
surface. On cold equipment, use vapor retardant cement.
3. Provide cold equipment containing fluids below ambient temperature with vapor retardant
jackets.
4. For insulated equipment containing fluids above ambient temperature, provide jacket with
or without vapor barrier.
5. Cover insulation with metal mesh and finish with 12.7-millimeter [½-inch] thick insulating
cement, or aluminum jacket.
6. Do not insulate over sight glasses, visual level or flow indicators, nameplates or ASME
stamps. Bevel and seal insulation around these items.
7. When equipment with insulation requires periodic opening for maintenance, repair, or
cleaning, install insulation in such a manner that it can be easily removed and replaced
without damage to insulation or vapor barrier.
8. Hot equipment insulation shall be covered with 12.7-millimeter [½-inch] thick insulating
cement over copper clad hexagonal wire.
