Installation:
Step 1. Install elbow and tee insulators by wrapping insulators around the fittings, ensuring
the hook and loop closure is secured. Note: Custom insulators may be designed with a
different closure than a standard hook and loop closure.
Caution: Elbow and Tee insulators cannot be cut or
trimmed to length. Cutting insulators will result in
product failure.
Step 2. Install straight pipe insulators by wrapping insulators around the pipe/tube,
ensuring the hook and loop closure is secured. Note: Custom insulators may be designed with
a different closure than a standard hook and loop closure.
A. When installing straight pipe insulators compress the seams between the insulated
modules to ensure complete insulated coverage and adequate thermal protection. See
Figure 1. Note: Failure to compress the seams will result in reduced thermal efficiency.
Incorrect
B. Ensure straight pipe insulators are joined against elbow and tee insulators to ensure
complete insulated coverage and adequate thermal protection. Note: Small gaps may be
present where straight pipe insulators join a valve or flange component. See valve and
flange installation.

Installation (continued):
C. Straight pipe insulators may be cut-to-length to
accommodate various lengths. See Figure 2. Prior to
cutting, measure the length of the pipe/tube and ensure
there is enough insulator length to compress the seams
during installation. Each seam is approximately 1.0in
(25mm) wide. Note: Cut-to-Length straight pipe insulators
must ONLY be cut at seams located between insulated
modules. Cutting insulators within the insulated module
sections will expose the insulation and result in product
failure.
Step 3. Install valve and flange insulators by wrapping insulators around the fittings,
ensuring the hook and loop closure is secured. Note: Custom insulators may be designed with
a different closure than a standard hook and loop closure.
Caution: Valve and Flange insulators cannot be cut or
trimmed to length. Cutting insulators will result in
product failure.
A. Valve and flange insulators are oversized and designed to overlap joining straight pipe,
elbows, and tee insulators. Small gaps between pipe, elbow, or tee insulators can be
covered and adequately insulated using a valve or flange insulator where applicable.
B. Tighten and secure drawstrings to ensure a snug fit around straight pipe, elbows, or tee
insulator. Note: It is recommended that the drawstrings are stowed between the insulator
and the valve or flange to avoid mishaps or accidental damage and to improve
appearance of the insulator.
Step 4. (Optional) Install seam covers around seams between insulators ensuring the hook
and loop closure is secured. Seam covers are used to improve appearance only.
Note: Seam covers do not provide adequate thermal insulation and
should not be used as an insulator. If gaps are present between
insulators, resize cut-to-length straight pipe insulators or cover the gap
with a flange insulator. If gaps cannot be adequately covered,
alternative insulation options may be required for adequate thermal
protection. Contact BriskHeat or a local BriskHeat representative for
more information.
