We are occasionally asked what AEROFLEX® closed-cell elastomeric pipe sizes fit ductile iron pipe. Ductile iron pipe differs from standard carbon steel pipe in that it is less susceptible to…
Since water vapor will always be present within the building envelope, it is imperative to adequately protect building mechanical systems (piping, ductwork, and equipment) from the undesirable effects of excess…
ASTM International is a global nonprofit standards setting organization for numerous construction products. Mechanical insulation for piping, ductwork, and equipment is no exception. Standard specifications have been established by ASTM…
WARNING: AEROFLEX EPDM pipe OD's are larger than fiberglass; recommended PVC fitting sizes in chart may be larger than for the same fiberglass pipe size. Outside diameters calculated using maximum…
WARNING: Fitting size #30 - only 45º and short-radius 90º elbows available - no tees or valves. AEROFLEX EPDM™ pipe OD's are larger than fiberglass; recommended PVC fitting sizes in…
The intent of this technical bulletin is to illustrate, without bias, the technical performance characteristics of EPDM and NBR/PVC closed-cell elastomeric insulation for building mechanical systems: piping, ducts, and equipment.…
The purpose of this technical bulletin is to confirm that AEROFLEX EPDM™ closed-cell elastomeric insulation and accessories are free of the following chemical substances: Asbestos Formaldehyde Lead Mercury Mercury Compounds
EPDM rubber compound is formulated in specific grades for numerous commercial and industrial uses. Each grade offers trade-offs when it comes to HVAC/R and Plumbing applications - differing performance characteristic…
Closed-cell elastomeric (rubber) is often compared to closed-cell polyethylene pipe insulation. In some cases, they are deemed equivalent since they are both closed cell and flexible. Let's look at what…
Rigid calcium silicate (calsil) and phenolic pipe supports are commonly specified and installed as a component of insulated mechanical piping systems at hanger, strut, and pipe rack locations. Pipe supports…
