INC 20893 Thermal Insulation Pipe Fitting Covering

An item composed of one or more materials, molded, compressed and/or baked into a rigid covering of the proper shape and size for various standard pipe or tube fittings. It is specifically designed to restrict the transfer of heat or protect from low or high temperatures. The molds are cut in half lengthwise and may be furnished with protective coatings, jackets, attaching bands, and/or accessories for application, (excluding prefabricated components used in aircraft applications). Excludes INSULATION PIPE COVERING, THERMAL, AIRCRAFT.

Additional Information for Thermal Insulation Pipe Fitting Covering

Thermal insulation pipe fitting coverings are materials used to insulate and protect pipes in various construction and building applications. These coverings are specifically designed to provide thermal insulation, preventing heat loss or gain from the pipes and maintaining the desired temperature.

In the supply class Wallboard, thermal insulation pipe fitting coverings may include materials such as:

1. Fiberglass pipe insulation: This type of insulation is made from glass fibers and is commonly used for insulating pipes in residential and commercial buildings. It provides excellent thermal insulation properties and is available in various thicknesses and sizes to fit different pipe diameters.

2. Mineral wool pipe insulation: Mineral wool is a type of insulation made from natural or synthetic minerals. It is known for its excellent fire resistance and thermal insulation properties. Mineral wool pipe insulation is commonly used in industrial settings where high-temperature pipes need to be insulated.

In the supply class Building Paper, thermal insulation pipe fitting coverings may include materials such as:

1. Vapor barrier: A vapor barrier is a material that prevents the movement of moisture through the pipe insulation. It is typically made from plastic or foil and is used to protect the insulation from moisture damage.

2. Reflective insulation: Reflective insulation is a type of insulation that reflects radiant heat. It is often used in combination with other insulation materials to enhance thermal performance. Reflective insulation can be in the form of foil-faced insulation boards or reflective wraps.

In the supply class Thermal Insulation Materials, thermal insulation pipe fitting coverings may include materials such as:

1. Polyurethane foam insulation: Polyurethane foam is a type of insulation that provides excellent thermal insulation properties. It is commonly used for insulating pipes in refrigeration and HVAC systems.

2. Rubber foam insulation: Rubber foam insulation is a flexible and lightweight insulation material that is commonly used for insulating pipes in plumbing and HVAC systems. It provides good thermal insulation and also helps to reduce noise transmission.

These are just a few examples of thermal insulation pipe fitting coverings available in the supply group Construction and Building Materials. The specific type of covering used will depend on factors such as the application, temperature requirements, and budget.
