Watching from Philippines

[@DreddIsLaw]

nice video, should make one showing how to cut out segmented bends.

[@0blazers0]

could you reccommend some websites where i can learn more about insulating like patterns for midors gores and hognoses

[@spooge4569]

i need help on taping the bends... the tape always crinkles and it looks bad...i can alrdy cut the angles.. please help

[@alexander0194]

Hey, Steve, I'm installing some of this type of insulation at home, on a wood boiler installation, to try and cut down on heat loss in the circulating pipes. Your video was very helpful. I, like others who posted here, also had a question about how to treat the elbows, but others have suggested to cut the ends at 45 degrees, and I think I will do that. Are there manufactured fittings available made for the purpose of jacketing the elbows?

[@davidanchondo8706]

3 years late, but yes there is

[@LRogersPhoto]

I put this around a heat pipe but the tape came loose from the heat, is there such a thing as heat tape I can wrap around it?

[@richardrizzo504]

how are verticle cuts measured

I'm doing 4 in pipe on a boiler and there's elbows how would you I cut some on 45 but now the elbows are bigger than my 4-in insulation pipe what can I do

[@fazlulhaq5913]

where is found this

[@manolodominguez6393]

What about the 90?

[@74VDC]

What do you do to cover the 90?

[@angelflores6659]

You can do it with pipe by cutting it in horizontal line to a 90. Or have a PVC 90 with some dock isulation underneath.

[@kajunclown]

Very nice work. Except I would have beveled the bottom a bit so it would sit flush. And you didn't rub the pressure sensitive tape with a squeegee. Put a pvc ninety and some jacketing, that's a wrap.

[@hallyfella]

I would have taken the 90 in with a nice neat elbow , Its easy with a Laggers eye !!

[@GuardiansCreed]

Can asbestos look just like this?

[@hopeeverest25485]

what about the elbow?

[@RearrangeGinger]

Stuff it with fluffy shit then put a pvc fitting on it

[@justinplummer5385]

Stuffing and a zeston fitting. Probably a 5

[@RearrangeGinger]

No, that looks like 7/8 and reduces to 5/8. He doesn't dig out for the full 7/8 side so must be 7/8 X 1 which gets a number 7 Zeston or Proto fitting. Regardless 5/8, 7/8, and 1 1/8 X 1 all get number 7's.

[@justinplummer5385]

Mike Hawk you’re absolutely right. I’ve been doing armeflex the past two months and forgot my fittings. 👍

[@murd777]

Beautiful! BUT IN REAL LIFE YOU DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH SPEACE TO WRAP THE PIPE AROUND.

[@xXIcpXxXTwiztedXx]

For real tight spaces ahahah cheers bro

[@Thecorpseharvester]

forgot to 'duey' your tape. didnt, mastic out raw glass. other than that you done it good

[@jibblyjump]

Try a union jatc if you need to know these patterns. Why would we want nonunion knowing this?

[@coverer1]

@666hankiii knauff earth wool is even worse than oc now it used to be good no more they have made improvements but still not up to par

[@cadillacjack908]

You didn't 45 degree the elbow

[@jdmcivic1025]

No staples!? ;) Slam it on and rub it down with the staple gun. BAM onto the next piece. hehe. I'm a union insulator too. Nice video.

[@grpmechanical]

Too bad no one ever taught you to how to make a 45 degree cut on the end to cover the elbows! One cut only...rotate the pipe and you have a perfect seal Thats why we are the Hydronic specialist!

[@justinplummer5385]

Glen Parker how are you sealing it? White? Z tape?

[@davidanchondo8706]

Some are insulated with pvc fittings, stuffed with insulation first and sealed afterwards. Some are even taped at the ends. Depends on the jobsite, my school asked me to stow pipe though and then seal afterward.

[@angelflores6659]

Sir you forgot the 90

[@gagoka1219]

you should cut the fiber at 90 degrees on the elbow part ! thats failed !

[@nicholassmith2517]

I believe you mean 45°! You Failed!!

[@schwartzie1985]

Holy hell there are a lot of wrinkles. If I did a job like that, not only would my boss fire me, he would lose all his contracts. Horrible job.

[@williamriddell2907]

you could not covers a dead dog ,

[@nicholassmith2517]

Damn, my dead dog types better than you.

[@djowhite]

Thanks for the help, but do you really want to do that with your bare hands? I realize gloves make the job harder, but all the same....

[@jamesclaeys3192]

All wrong. Wearing an OC cap to make us think you are an OC rep? A pro would do miter joint on the elbow and a proper cove or fish-mouth on the tee.
