Technical Specifications for Installation of Rubber and Plastic Insulation Materials​

With the construction of various buildings, there is an increasing variety of materials designed to enhance building quality. Among them, thermal insulation materials used for building insulation are essential for every completed structure. One of the most widely used insulation materials on the market is rubber and plastic insulation. So, what should be considered during the daily installation of rubber and plastic thermal insulation materials? Below is an introduction to the technical specifications for installing rubber and plastic insulation materials.

• ​​Key Points to Note During Installation:​​

1. ​​All gaps and joints must be sealed with adhesive.​​
2. After installation, all fittings—including tees, elbows, valves, flanges, and other accessories—must meet the designed thickness requirements.
3. ​​Avoid excessive adhesive application.​​ All interfaces between materials should be bonded under slight pressure.
4. ​​Installation sequence:​​ Start with larger pipes, followed by smaller pipes, elbows, tees, then straight pipes, and finally valves and flanges.
5. When installing cold water pipes and refrigeration equipment, ​​seal the gaps between the rubber-plastic pipe ends and the iron pipes​​, ensuring the adhesive width is not less than the thickness of the rubber-plastic material.
6. ​​Pipe seams should be as inconspicuous as possible​​, with staggered joints between two pipes.
7. ​​Do not operate machinery during installation​​, and avoid starting the equipment within 36 hours after installation.
8. ​​Large-diameter rubber-plastic pipes may become oval due to packaging.​​ When cutting, always cut along the flat side.
