Frost King Foil Backed Fiberglass Pipe Wrap, 3"x1"x25'

This worked great for our new front door. Needed a small thin insulation piece between the frame and sheetrock and this product did the job. Great quality and the pricing was perfect!

Great for protecting exposed pipes from freezing. Easy to use.

The insulation expands when unwound, there are a couple high spots with extra fiberglass, but it can be trimmed off. The instructions said to overlap by .5 inch, which is not correct, when using the wraparound method with this thickness. It must be a butt joint. If I were to overlap it, the only way is to compress it, which is unacceptable, as insulation needs to be uncompressed to be effective. If you must, you can use foil tape to seal the seams. The 25 ft roll, when using the wraparound method, will yield 10 ft. You will get a bit longer in a straight run if you sandwich the pipe between two cut pieces. I had to cut it into 4 sections, there were 2 straight runs, with the water meter in between that’s in an elliptical loop. The length I needed was about 13 ft, got 10 out of it. It reached from the floor to ceiling, which is about 7 ft, with the rest used in the water meter’s loop. The rest of the 3 ft into the warmer portion of my basement was between joists that already have insulation installed, I tugged the exposed pipe into the pre-existing insulation. For me it worked out. If you have more than 10 feet, get 2 rolls. It’s an economical way to insulate the pipe, the other method is to use rubber insulation, don’t use foam insulation with heat tape, it might melt the foam. I checked the big box store, and it was priced almost 2x. The insulations trap and spread the heat evenly, it saves more electricity, as the heating cable would shut off at a preset higher temperature. The insulation will aid in reaching that temperature faster. You must seal the butt joints with foil tape, to create an airtight seal. This prevents condensation and wet insulation, which leads to lower R-value and corrosion. It would have been a five star product if it had the correct installation instruction and foil tape for the joints or built-in butt strips.

I’m just going to assume this is good because I bought it for a project and never ended up needing it but I know that a lot of people told me to get it so I’m going to assume that it’s a great product. I do know it’s very cheap. I never even opened it so it’s just sitting here. Maybe I will need it next winter.

With crazy cold weather here in Florida, I covered my pump and wrapped exposed pipes with insulation wrap, easy to install & eliminates worry about pipes freezing.

Not a bad roll for the money, but the foil part tends to separate from the insulation quite easily. I used this to wrap some pipes in Florida during our first hard freeze in decades. It worked well for that temporary purpose.

Lifesaver to keep well pipes insulated this past winter

wrapped the exterior water lines. It protected the pipes during the latest freezing temperature.

Bueno

Excellent product, it makes a huge difference. Easy to install, especially in tight spaces as it can be cut and installed in pieces. I am a returning customer. I used it in three different applications in my basement and it worked great.

Be careful of itching after touching it , and also the aluminum surface not stable ..

It's excellent for domestic steam bath insulation of ss 304 20 mm pipes....& quantity is sufficient.
