Fiberglass Pipe Insulation – Conklin Metal Industries

Installing fiberglass pipe insulation takes skill and patience. It can be especially time consuming when you need to create a customized fit around small bore pipes and fittings. Filleting insulation to fit small pipes and joints can be inefficient and labor intensive and a poorly placed fillet can result in wasted materials and be costly. That’s why Owens Corning has created an alternative option that makes insulating small bore pipes and fittings faster and more efficient. SSL II w/ ASJ Max Fiberglas Pipe insulation can save contractors up to 16% in labor hours.*

Filleting Insulation = Labor Intensive

Contractors using rigid core insulation have to set additional time aside to fillet the insulation for the small pipes and fittings

Tailored to Fit Fiberglass Pipe Insulation: SSL II w/ ASJ Max Fiberglas

Owens Corning SSL II with ASJ Max Fiberglas allows the contractor to compress the core around the small pipes and fittings for a tailored fit without the need to fillet.

SSL II w/ ASJ Max Fiberglas Pipe Insulation with Flexible Inner Core

Owens Corning SSL II with ASJ Max Fiberglas Pipe Insulation is molded out of heavy density resin bonded inorganic glass fibers that come in one-piece, 36″ (914mm) long, hinged sections. The insulation is tailored to fit for copper, iron, and PVC pipe applications.

Designed to easily compress over fittings, such as ProPress Fittings. And if you are running Heat Trace Cable for freeze protection, Owens Corning’s Flex Core ASJ Max Fiberglas Pipe insulation with SSL II is the solution to labor saving time by eliminating the need to fillet

Pipe insulation that withstands below to above ambient temperatures

SSL II w/ ASJ Max Fiberglas Pipe Insulation is ideal for use on copper pipes and some small iron bore iron pipes and fittings

SSL II w/ ASJ Max Fiberglas Pipe Insulation is also suitable for Small Bore Iron Pipe

SEAL—The best closure in pipe insulation.

• Superior seal with advanced double adhesion
• Fast and easy fabrication during installation
• Eliminates the needs for staples and mastic
• Keeps the flap shut to minimize damage during shipping

PROTECT—Durable, cleanable, and wrinkle-resistant.

• Can resist short durations of water exposure that may occur during
construction
• Polymer film exterior surface that wipes clean and resists water staining
• Does not support mold or mildew growth**

INSULATE – Tailored to fit. Tailored to perform.

• FlexCore Technology sizes compress over copper and some small bore
iron pipes and fittings, saving time by eliminating the need to fillet
