Fiberglass Pipe Insulation

This winter during a very long cold snap in Minnesota I realized my hot water baseboard heat was not keeping up, even though it ran all day. I measured the heat at my first radiator and realized I was losing over 30 degrees in the 15 feet from my boiler to the radiator, which seemed like a ton. After searching around for good insulation and only finding cheap foam insulation I found Buyinsulationproducts.com and ordered some 1" fiberglass insulation. I covered the pipe from my boiler to the radiator and as much other pipe I could get to from the exposed ceiling in my basement and the change was dramatic. Now I lose less than 10 degrees, probably less than 5, really and my house is noticeably warmer and my boiler does not have to work as hard. Very happy to be able to find this in so many thickness options. So much better than foam insulation and pretty easy to install.

Product is easy to work with and the finished outcome looks like Bob Dylan did the job... Will be using it in my next project.

I have a hot water heating system on the shoreline in Southeastern Connecticut. The wind howls off the water in the winter and the insulation on my 1" copper insures that no heat is lost in my basement which is 80 feet long. Insulating my heating system is the better part of all the money spent on it, the best investment I or anyone else can make for fuel savings in the long run.
This company sells a good product that is easy to install. Shipping is a bit pricey but that is to be expected with the length of the product.
Highly recommend purchase from this company.

This insulation is so much better than the crappy pool noodles sold at big box stores. Goes on easily and STAYS. One area needed more protection than the paper covering could provide so by using thin guage aluminum (I think they stock it cut to fit ) and wire ties it was easy to cover. The only complaint I have is that according to the installation video it comes 5 to a box with adhesive strips. I ordered 22 pieces and it all came in one box with the tee and 90 covers along with a roll of tape i bought. It didnt travel well and the complimentary strips of adhesive tape werent included which was a disappointment because it would have been a big help under my very tight crawl space. It would definitely have made for a quicker and neater job.
Great product and customer service but packaging should have been better.

*Don, each different size comes in boxes of various quantities. Our warehouses repack the materials into shipping friendly boxes. Each piece of fiberglass pipe insulation comes with a piece of tape which is usually packed in a plastic bag on the top/bottom of the box. My apologies that they were missing from your order. ~ BIP

I replaced the insulation on the pipes for our steam boiler. Product was easy to use and arrived very quickly after I placed the order. Website was very helpful on how to measure, etc. Only suggestion is to consider thicker insulation. I ordered the recommended 1 inch thickness, but can feel some amount of heat loss through the insulation when the boiler is running. I had installed a thicker, more dense insulation on a similar boiler system (also more expensive) with no noticeable heat loss. Overall, I am very satisfied wit this insulation.

*Ed, I am glad you are happy with our products and services. We recommend at least 1" thickness on steam piping. Although 1-1/2" or 2" thickness is preferred, most customers choose 1" thickness for the cost effectiveness and lower shipping costs.

These come in 3' sections and include a piece of foil backed tape to seal the joint where the pieces butt together. Take the time to get the right size by using the charts on this site. With the right size you get a perfect fit. Also pay attention to how much room you have around the pipes. Although thicker insulation is better, it does you no good if you can't use the piece because there is not enough clearance. You can order thinner sections for tight spots or fill in around difficult places with pieces of unfaced batt insulation and use the tape (you can order extra by the roll) to keep it in place. I used floral wire to hold it where I wanted so I could neatly tape it up for a finished look. You can make the job look really nice with this product and the pvc covers for elbows, tees and unions

I got the 1 inch insulation and it worked great! So much better quality then the junk at Home Depot. Easy to install and super fast shipping! They even included tape to tape them together in a run!

Great service! I found exactly what I was looking for and good website. Very fast shipping

At first I didn't know what to expect, but after getting this stuff I knew it would be superior to the junk available locally.
It was shipped promptly and packaged with all I needed to get the job done. It did a nice clean professional looking job and my clients were very pleased.

*Rich, we are glad your insulation project came out looking professional and that your clients were happy with the results. ~ BIP

My second order. Owens Corning insulation is an excellent product. Doesn't let heat escape, fiberglass doesn't fall apart, extremely easy to install and cover can be wiped clean. Gives a neat appearance. I couldn't find anything comparable in stores. Prices on Buy Insulation Products were very good, web site was easy to use and helpful and shipping was quick. I couldn't ask for more.

Thicker than the product at the big box stores and at a better price. Very easy to install. Used a serrated knife to make any cuts. Made a big change in the amount of heat to the radiators. Buy extra tape for any unusual cuts. Duct tape will not last.

The pipe insulation was real easy to install. I was able to do most of my basement in about 3 hours. I found additional pipes that were hidden that need to be insulated and I will be purchasing from Buy Insulation Products again.
