Installation

Methods of Fixing the Insulation System

Hooks and Wire

Materials

— Insulation mattress equipped with hooks (metal or stainless steel)

— Wire (soft for easy bending)

Steps

— Preparing the insulation mattresses: Make sure the number on the mattress matches the number written on the pipe or any other object.

— Fitting: Position the mattress and press it firmly against the object.

— Securing the hooks with wire: Make a small loop at the end of the wire and insert it into the outermost hook. Using tapping motions along the mattress, bring the hooked edges together and lace all the hooks on the mattress in a corset-like pattern. Make sure they are securely fastened.

— Securing the wire: After finishing the lacing, cut the remaining wire, leaving a small allowance (3–4 cm), and insert it into the insulation mattress.

— Reliability check: Ensure that the wire holds the insulation firmly and check the stability of the construction.

Straps and Buckles

Steps

— Preparing the insulation mattress: Make sure the mattresses match the size, shape, and the number on the object.

— Fixing the mattress: Place the mattress onto the object, opening the buckles beforehand. Press the mattress firmly against the object and, using tapping motions, bring the mattress edges together with the buckles.

— Securing: After wrapping or positioning the mattress on the object, begin closing it by threading the strap through the buckle starting from the top buckle downward, or from right to left, tapping the mattress to achieve a tight fit.

— Securing the straps: Pass the free end of the strap through the rubber loop on the buckle side.

— Inspection: Check how securely the insulation is fastened and tighten the buckles if necessary.

Flaps and Velcro

Materials

Steps

— Preparing the insulation mattress: Make sure the mattress matches the required size and corresponds to the marking on the object.

— Fixing the mattress: Place the mattress onto the object, opening the Velcro beforehand. Press the mattress firmly against the object and, using tapping movements, bring the edges of the mattress together with the Velcro and flap.

— Securing: After wrapping or positioning the mattress on the object, begin closing the Velcro with the flap from the top, moving downward or from right to left, tapping the mattress to achieve a tight fit.

— Inspection: Check how securely the insulation is fastened.

Conclusion

The choice of insulation system fixation method depends on the specific conditions and requirements. Use the appropriate materials and follow the instructions to ensure reliable and effective insulation.
