Foam-Tite insulation Tape provides the service technician with a quality yet economical solution to one of the most common HVACR application problems: sweating or condensation on air conditioning, refrigeration, chilled water or other cold lines. Because of its excellent insulation properties, it can also be used on hot water lines for insulation against heat loss.
Keeps cold lines cold and hot lines hot. It can be overlapped or the edges can be butted. The amount of tape that will be required and the style of wrap (over-lapped, butted or both) will depend upon relative humidity, ambient temperature and the temperature of the pipe to be covered. Service temperatures can be as low as -15ºF with a high continuous temperature of 160ºF.
Foam-Tite Insulation Tape
Apply Foam-Tite by removing release paper as the tape is spirally wrapped around the piping or fittings, and press firmly in place; avoid stretching.
Pressure-sensitive adhesive adhere firmly and forms a long lasting bond to metal surfaces.
For a faster and more efficient job, tape should be spiral-wrapped to obtain a 50% over-lap. Additional layers build up insulation to required thickness.
To insulate valves, tees, and fittings, cut small pieces of tape and press into place until all metal is covered.
Overwrap with longer lengths for a durable and efficient job.
