7.1 Piping Insulation

7.1.1 Insulation Construction shall be performed after all the insulation preparation have been
finished and released.
7.1.2 Factory fabricated sectional pipe insulation shall be applied in staggered joint
construction and secured with wire loops or bands. On multiple layer construction, all
joints shall be lapped one-half of each section between layers. Each layer shall be
secured separately. All joints shall be securely butted and all cracks, joints, etc. shall be
filled with insulating sealant as appropriate.
7.1.3 Mastic sealer shall be used around pipe supports where the insulation is punctured by the
support.
7.1.4 Any cracks or openings that occur in the insulation or weather-proofing are to be filled in
with additional insulation or weather-proofing to provide a smooth sealed surface
7.1.5 At all flanges, unions, and pipe terminations, the pipe insulation shall be beveled at a
45°angle to facilitate remove of flange bolts and union collars without damage to the main
pipe insulation and metal jacketing. A screwed and sealed metal cover shall be installed.
7.1.6 All openings in metal jacketing for nipples, pipe supports, etc. are to be neatly cut to
provide a tight fit and shall be thoroughly sealed and weather-proofed to prevent moisture
