8 QuestionsQ: will LED lighting dry out the pipe insulation
Asked by george 10 years ago

Verified Reply- SupplyHouse StaffThe LED lighting should not affect the elastomeric insulation as long as it is not UV lighting.
No I can't see that happening. LED lights should not affect the foam rubber. From Steve, hope this helps you.

Q: Can this insulation be used below grade (underground) to insulate a PVC water line from a septic tank to the mound septic system? Would you recommend another insulation product?
Asked by Rich 14 years ago
Add your answer
I'm not sure what product you refer to but liquid between the tank and the system will be not flowing most of the time. If the pipe you are insulating is within the freeze zone it WILL freeze up. I believe that the insulation on this pipe is designed to reduce heat loss not prevent freezing. I don't understand why you are running a water line to a septic system in any event. f the water is circulating rather than straight through then adding anti-freeze solution to the water will do the job.
I would NOT use this type of insulation underground. Direct burial would cause the weight of the dirt to crush the soft foam like insulation reducing its insulation factor significantly. You need some type of rigid and moisture proof insulation like a Closed cell polyurethane spray foam.
I used this insulation for the pipe coming off my hot water heater. They are pricey but are commercial grade. I don't know if they can be used underground but I would try it if you have a problem with freezing.
This is slightly porous material, so it's not suitable for any possible wet environment. If you needed to use it underground, I'd wrap it in 6 mil or heavier poly sheet plastic, and tape it well with construction tape. Think of it sitting in a bathtub of water, and protect it against that, and you may be okay. If you use it above ground, I've had success wrapping it in heavy tin-foil, it protects it from the sun, and keeps the rain out. That would be too fragile for underground work.
Rich, Unless the septic system is used only sporadically during the winter there shouldn't be an issue if the pipes are buried. There is enough heat released from the digestion in the tank to keep a lot of the plumbing much warmer than what you would imagine. However, if your system is not in regular use, or if your pipe is exposed then I can see no big issue with trying this. If you want a more professional answer I would contact the manufacturer directly, THere is quite a bit of info already if you click on the details in the PEX site under this particular size. I have done an installation where I am concerned about UV degradation because the pipes are exposed to sunlight all day. To solve this issue I spiral wrapped the foam with a UV barrier tape and so far there has been no issue. An alternate method that I have done (that is still working after 30 years) is to lay a sheet of Dow (pink) foam inulation 1" or thicker directly on top of the pipe in the trench. Backfill right over it and you should be more than good. I see -20F at least once a year. This is for my well line, which because of ledge is only under 12-18 inches of cover. Hope this helps.
Generally for underground applications you might consider using a cellular glass foam insulation (Foamglas by Pittsburgh Corning) as it is not just closed-cell but rigid and waterproof and suitable for burial with some added protection. However, Foamglas is hard to find for other than industrial purposes. If you can keep Insul-Lock from PexSupply dry and protected from crushing then it might be suitable for your application. Insul-Lock is closed-cell so will not water-log, and is therefore also somewhat crush resistant but not crush proof. I would wrap Insul-Lock with a heavy duty waterproof duct tape, and pour any sort of waterproofing around the tank end and the bare end so that any water infiltration is minimized and also provide some protection against abrasion. Another approach would be to lay a 2 inch thick 18-24 inch wide styrene board above the outfall line and under existing dirt cover. I would ensure that your septic outfall connection is self-draining and worry less about insulation other than the styrene mentioned above. If your septic system is properly designed, fluid should never be languishing in your outfall line where it can freeze up. Outfall lines should be self-draining back into the tank holding the dose pump. Check valves do not belong on this line. You may need a new design for your outfall line that keeps it below the frost line or slopes it such that when the pump is off any area above the frost line drains back into the holding tank or into a section of pipe with adequate volume below the frost line to hold any backflow.
Q: I do not see steam pipes as an application for this line of products. Max temp of 200F seems slightly low. Do you have something suitable for wrapping 1-1/4" and 2" steam lines right at the boiler?
Asked by BobTheBuilder 15 years ago

You may want to look into a high temperature wrapping tape near the boiler and for odd/custom installs.
