with a continuous, unbroken vapor seal. Hangers, supports, anchors, etc., that
are secured directly to cold services shall be adequately insulated and vapor
sealed to prevent condensation.

PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1 INSPECTION

A. Examine areas and conditions under which insulation is to be installed. Notify


Architect in writing of conditions detrimental to proper completion of the work.
Do not proceed with work until unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.

3.2 INSTALLATION

A. Install insulation as indicated, in accordance with manufacturer's written


instructions, and in accordance with recognized industry practices to ensure that
installation complies with requirements and serves intended purpose.

B. Coordinate with other work, as necessary to interface installation of insulation with


other work.

C. Install insulation on pipe system subsequent to installation of heat tracing, testing


and acceptance of tests.

D. Clean and dry pipe surfaces prior to insulating. Butt insulation joints firmly
together to ensure complete and tight fit over surfaces to be covered.

E. Cover valves, fittings and similar item in each piping system with equivalent
thickness and composition of insulation as applied to adjoining pipe run. Install
factory molded, precut or job fabricated units except where documents call for
insulation to be another type.

F. Install insulation materials with smooth and even surfaces. Install each continuous
run of piping with fall length units of insulation with single cut piece to complete
run. Do not use out pieces or scraps abutting each other. Install pipe hanger
insulation insert at all hangers of equal thickness to adjacent insulation. Install
insulation protection shields at each pipe hanger between jacket and hanger.

G. Install rigid pipe insulation inserts on all pipes passing through floor sleeves and
through fire rated walls and fire rated partition or ceiling openings in order to
maintain required fire rated composite for sleeve caulking. In lieu of this

Pipeing Insulation 15083 – Page 7 of 8


requirement, insulation may be deleted from hot pipes below 160oF at the point
where they pass through the building's construction.

H. Install all-purpose insulation jackets over all hot pipe insulation. Install a
continuous unbroken vapor barrier seal over all cold water pipe to prevent
condensation on cold pipes and hangers, supports, anchors, etc., which are secured
directly to cold pipes. For hot pipes, apply 76 mm wide vapor barrier type or band
over the butt joints.

I. Where insulation is specified for piping, also insulate all connections, vents, drains
and piping connected to the system which are subject to heat loss or gain.

J. Do not use staples on hot pipe insulation jackets if hot water heat maintenance
system is used.
