PIPE COVERING Sample Clauses
The PIPE COVERING clause specifies the requirements and standards for insulating or protecting pipes within a construction or engineering project. It typically outlines the types of materials to be used for covering pipes, the methods of installation, and any necessary thickness or fire-resistance ratings. For example, it may require that all hot water pipes be wrapped with a certain grade of insulation to prevent heat loss and condensation. The core function of this clause is to ensure that pipes are adequately protected for safety, efficiency, and compliance with building codes, thereby reducing energy loss and preventing potential damage or hazards.
PIPE COVERING. 3.1 In addition to International requirements, the following rules shall be followed:
3.2 Insulation materials will be covered with some form of jacketing and all raw ends shall be covered with jacketing materials, i.e. canvas, fab glass and mastic, PVC, Alumaguard or metal. In the case of an ASJ interior finish, mastic may be used as a finished end. Under no circumstances shall any raw insulation be exposed.
3.3 Where all-purpose cement is used, the thickness shall be such that when dried the surface is smooth and free of lumps with no evidence of shrinkage from the adjoining covering.
3.4 Self-sealing laps shall be rubbed with the appropriate tool to insure fit. Laps shall be further secured with staples, and all insul-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be taped.
3.5 Only pipe covering of the appropriate manufactured size will be applied and shall be fastened and fit securely. Oversize pipe covering may be used for electric or steam traced piping if it fits snugly and uniformly.
3.6 All PVC fittings will be fully insulated and have a minimum of two tacks per fitting.
3.7 No PVC covers shall be used on high pressure steam systems unless insulated with Thermal Insulation Wool or equivalent to the thickness of the adjacent covering.
