How to Insulate Pipes: Weatherization Tips | The Home Depot

[@JimTMcDaniels1]

Foam with the self sealing seam is basically double sided tape pre installed. Therefore if you buy the cheaper foam without the tape already applied, you can buy and apply double sided tape to the seam to close as you install.

This was perfectly, simply and succinctly explained. Thank you! 👍🏽

I recently replaced Split up copper ( September 2016) with CPVC and Used Dollar Tree Foam Pool Noodles putting a fine cut down one Side and then put them over the Pipe; Doing this after completing the CPVC install and had no leaks or Splits all winter long,.. Very Impressed at a lessor price...plus it made for a Colorful Basement Ceiling... :) I joined the Foam Pipes with Duct Tape,.. All Winter last Winter ( and it was a Long winter) ... I have not even One leak or split...

The info you have provide in the video is really important especially when the weather gets cold. Thanks guys

[@schaeferdelauderinsurance7207]

Super important information, especially as the weather gets cold. Insulated pipes prevent many home insurance claims!

[@napochulo]

Do you mean non-insulated pipes?

[@artisticagi]

Ok so you just wrap it around the outside of the pipe 0:50 Rubber pipe sticks 2:20 R value. The higher the R value, the better it is at keeping the temp 2:50

[@Lughnerson]

Pipe insulation also helps to reduce vapor condensation on cold water pipes.

[@badlove6896]

whats the best glue to use when securing rubber pipe insulations?

[@whoeverwhoever400]

but what about the cold water pipe? do you insulate cold water pipe? how do you prevent cold water pipe from freezing?

[@tickyul]

You sound like a whimpy Brony......just insulate those cold-water pipes also, you will be OK, Tinkywinky.

❤hmm this is helpful. we anticipate below-0 weather soon and will need this tip. thanks.❤

[@steph5200]

Thanks y'all. This is very helpful.

Armaflex rubber insulation isn’t really that good for hot water pipes, it might melt. Fiberglass insulation is the best for heating pipes ,

[@som1980]

Which type is best for insulating gas piping on the roof?

[@JimTMcDaniels1]

I don’t believe anyone insulates has pipes. It’s water which can freeze and so expand and break the pipe or heat in the water you don’t want to loose. For an exterior pipe I’d say use cheap foam trap/tube then wrap it with aluminum tape to protect the foam from sun elements degradation!

[@andrewgervais3039]

Correction r-value is the measure of a material's ability to resist HEAT transfer, not air movement.

[@EdgarD4GEspada]

My plastic elbow broke from my toilet or tub line and I replaced it now I need to put insulation should I put both that lil plastic thing then insulation? Or just wrap the insulation and everything should be kool? Almost winter in Chicago it’s no joke can’t afford a costly plumbing bill.

do Pex pipes need insulation?

[@Finestizpro]

You can but pex doesnt break like copper does since it expands with the water lucky you i have copper😢

If you're in the Caribbean, you don't have the continental effect that Texas has

Armafelx insulation won't prevent pipes from freezing. Maybe if it's right at 32 degrees, but once it starts really dropping the only insulation that will help is fiberglass

BUT IF YOU INSULATE YOUR PIPES

[@JimTMcDaniels1]

I’d say this is a bit of a poor video. They didn’t mention things like the foam is the least expensive, the rubber can bend and conform for different areas. The fiberglass is very messy, has to be sealed from shedding if in an area you don’t want to breath that stuff.

Why builders dont care about insulation? So much money goes in air!

[@0zfer]

Cuz they don't pay the utilities but pay for insulation.

[@proverbs2life]

That insulation is no good...needs some heat tape

[@mglsite]

The problem with the foam is that the condensation is trapped inside the foam,runs to the lowest point and drips there.

[@JohnDoe-ld8nr]

The point of the foam is to prevent condensation from happening.

[@sciarico]

That looks like shit. Are you telling me thats the best there is?

[@Mark-sn6kh]

Do you go around admiring your exposed piping?
