Application
Knauf 1000° Pipe Insulation is used in power, process
and industrial applications and in commercial
and institutional buildings where maximum fire
safety, resistance to physical abuse and a finished
appearance are desired. Additional weather protection
is needed outdoors.
Features and Benefits
Energy Conservation
• Offers excellent resistance to heat loss or gain,
which saves energy and lowers operating costs.
• A low thermal conductivity of .23 at 75°F (24°C).
Low-Cost Installation
• Available with self-sealing lap, which eliminates
need for staples, additional material and tools.
• Fast, easy installation reduces labor costs.
Condensation Control
• Installed properly, the foil vapor retarder and
pressure-sensitive lap assure a positive vapor
seal.
UL Classified
• All Knauf Pipe Insulation, plain or jacketed,
meets the fire and smoke safety requirements of
most federal, state and local building codes.
Easy Size Identification
• Pipe size, wall thickness and Proto 25/50 Rated
PVC fitting cover size are printed in a repeat
pattern along the longitudinal lap.
• Easy identification at job site.
• Simplifies restocking.
• After application, print is covered by the lap for a
neat appearance.
