INSTALLATION: Installing Aluminum Jacketing on insulated pipes is very easy when it is cut and rolled to the pipe size. Below are some key notes to remember during installation: 1. On horizontal piping, make sure the lap of the aluminum jacketing is pointing down to prevent any rain runoff from seeping in. 2. Fab Straps are usually specified to be placed every foot of piping making sure placement is close to the joints of two sections of jacketing. 3. VentureClad ® jacketing is a self adhesive product used to weatherproof insulation without using additional adhesive or mastics to create a seal. VentureClad ® offers excellent resistance to moisture, UV exposure and allows application in a wide range of weather conditions including cold temperatures.
