a. For insulation outside the stated conductivity range, the minimum thickness (T) shall be determined as follows: T=r{(1+t/r)K/k-1}, where T=minimum insulation thickness (in.), r=actual outside radius of pipe (in.), t=insulation thickness listed in this table for applicable fluid temperature and pipe size, K=conductivity of alternate material at mean rating temperature indicated for the applicable fluid temperature {Btu ∙ in.(h ∙ ft² ∙ °F)}; and k=the upper value of the conductivity range listed in this table for the applicable fluid temperature. b. These thicknesses are based on energy efficiency considerations only. c. For piping smaller than 1½" and located in partitions within conditioned spaces, reduction of these thicknesses by 1" shall be permitted (before thickness adjustment required in footnote a) but not to thicknesses below 1". These thicknesses are based on energy efficiency considerations only. Issues such as water vapor permeability or surface condensation sometimes require vapor retarders or additional insulation. d. The table is based on steel pipe. Non-metallic pipes schedule 80 thickness or less shall use the table values. For other non-metallic pipes having thermal resistance greater than that of steel pipe, reduced insulation thicknesses are permitted if documentation is provided showing that the pipe with the proposed insulation has no more heat transfer per foot than a steel pipe of the same size with the insulation thickness shown on the table.
PRECAUTIONS
Hot Pipe
• May be installed while the system is in operation, at all
temperatures up to 1000° F (538° C).
• Knauf Insulation recommends, for insulation thicknesses
greater than 6" (152 mm), the temperature must be
increased from 500° F (260° C) to maximum temperature at
a rate not exceeding 100° F (37.8° C) per hour.
• During initial heat-up to operating temperatures above
350° F (177° C), a slight odor and some smoke may be
given off as a portion of the bonding material used in the
insulation begins to undergo a controlled decomposition.
• If natural convection is not adequate in confined areas,
forced ventilation should be provided in order to protect
against any harmful fumes and vapors that might
be generated.
• Care must also be taken when using sealants, solvents or
flammable adhesive during installation.
• A maximum of 6" (152 mm) wall thickness
is recommended.
Cold Pipe
• Use a continuous vapor retarder on piping operating below
ambient temperatures.
• Seal all joints, surfaces, seams and fittings to
prevent condensation.
• On below freezing applications, and in high-abuse areas, the
ASJ+ jacket shall be protected with a PVC vapor retarding
outer jacket. In addition, exposed ends of insulation shall
be sealed with vapor barrier mastic installed per the mastic
manufacturer’s instructions. Vapor seals at butt joints
shall be applied at 12' to 21' intervals; at the Engineer’s
discretion and at each fitting to isolate any water incursion.
• On chilled water systems operating in high humidity
conditions, it is recommended that the same guidelines be
followed as listed above for below freezing applications.
• Exterior hanger supports are recommended.
Outside Application
• Do not expose pipe insulation to weather. It must be
covered with appropriate jacketing, mastic or vapor
retardant coatings.
• All exposed surfaces must be protected. Proto® Indoor/
Outdoor PVC Jacketing is recommended. See Knauf
Insulation Guide Specifications for recommended PVC
jacketing application guidelines.
• Apply jacketing, mastics or vapor retardant adhesives per
manufacturer’s instructions.
• For metallic jackets, factory-applied moisture retarders are
recommended.
ASJ+ SSL+
• Keep adhesive and contact surfaces free from dirt and
water. Seal immediately once adhesive is exposed.
• Apply when ambient and insulation temperatures are
between 20° F and 130° F (-6.7° C and 54° C).
• If stored below 20° F or above 130° F, allow insulation
cartons to stand within recommended temperature range for
24 hours prior to application.
• Do not store product below -20° F (-29° C) or above
150° F (66° C).
• When using Knauf Insulation’s SSL+ Advanced Closure
System, make sure the longitudinal and circumferential
joints are properly sealed by rubbing the closure firmly with
a squeegee. Use of staples is not recommended.
• When using Earthwool® 1000° pipe insulation, the surface
temperature of the ASJ+ facing should not exceed 150° F
(66° C).
Fittings and Hangers
• Use Proto 25/50 Rated (ASTM E84) PVC Fitting Covers,
applying PVC fittings per Proto’s Data Sheet.
• Fittings should be insulated to same thickness as the
adjoining insulation.
• Apply fittings per manufacturer’s instructions.
• When required by specification, a hard insert of
sufficient length should be used to avoid compression of
the insulation.
APPLICATION GUIDELINES
Storage
• Protect insulation from water damage or other abuse,
welding sparks and open flame.
• Cartons are not designed for outside storage.
Preparation
• Apply only on clean, dry surfaces
• Pipe or vessel should be tested and released before
insulation is applied.
General Guidelines
• All sections should be firmly butted.
• Seal circumferential joint with a minimum 3" (76 mm) wide
butt strip.
• Jackets, coating and adhesives should have a comparable
F.H.C. rating.
• ASJ+ may be painted. As with traditional ASJ, Knauf
Insulation does not encourage the painting of ASJ+ because
the application of any paint may change the surface burning
characteristics and will void the UL Classification and Knauf
Insulation Limited Warranty.
Insulation Limited Warranty
• Where painting is necessary, use common water, oil,
or solvent-based paints. All paints should be tested for
compatibility and adhesion before use.
• All piping should have continuous insulation.
• Position longitudinal lap downward to avoid dirt and
moisture infiltration.
• Do not expose pipe insulation to excessive vibration or
physical abuse.
• Faced insulation should not have a facing temperature
above 150° F (66° C).
SSL+ Installation Instructions:
• To install SSL+, first remove the kraft release liner to
expose adhesive.
• Carefully align the jacketing. Starting in the center of the
insulation section, begin initial SSL+ tack using pressure
in the direction of the overlap. Again, starting in the center
of the insulation section, with a plastic squeegee begin to
apply firm pressure to the bonded lap area swiping from the
center of the insulation section toward each end.
• Note: After initial SSL+ adhesive tack, it is critical that
the closure is not re-opened and repositioned on the
facing. Doing so will delaminate the jacket and adhesive,
diminishing the bond strength.
Butt Strip Installation Instructions:
• To install Butt Strips, remove the kraft release liner by
separating the butt strip from the kraft using the convenient,
easy release kiss cut.
• Simply wrap the butt strip, centered around the joint, and
apply firm pressure with a squeegee.
• Note: After initial Butt Strip adhesive tack, it is critical
that the closure is not re-opened and repositioned on the
facing. Doing so will weaken the adhesive and diminish
bond strength.
Recommended Thicknesses (ASHRAE 90.1-2016)
The minimum thicknesses are based on ASHRAE 90.1-2016
standards and do not necessarily represent the Economic
Thickness of Insulation or the thickness required for proper
condensation control. Rather, they serve as minimum
recommendations for commercial applications. For recommended
Economic Thickness, install according to Knauf Insulation or
NAIMA 3E Plus programs or as specified.
FIBERGLASS AND MOLD
Fiberglass insulation will not sustain mold growth. However,
mold can grow on almost any material when it becomes wet
and contaminated. Carefully inspect any insulation that has
been exposed to water. If it shows any sign of mold it must be
discarded. If the material is wet but shows no evidence of mold, it
should be dried rapidly and thoroughly. If it shows signs of facing
degradation from wetting, it should be replaced.

Storage:Protect cartons from water damage or other abuse. Proto cartons are not designed for outside storage.
Preparation:Proto fitting covers and inserts should be applied on a clean, dry surface.
Above ambient – General installation:A Proto fiberglass insert shall be wrapped completely around the metal fitting leaving no voids or open spaces. A loose wrapping of twine or tape may be helpful to hold insulation in place. The Proto Fitting Cover shall then be applied over the insert, and secured by using serrated stainless steel tacks or by taping.
Cold pipe:Fitting systems below ambient temperature must have a continuous vapor retarder or vapor retardant mastic as specified by the engineer. When using Proto PVC Tape, a 2” (51mm) minimum downward overlap is recommended for optimum performance. Care should be taken not to stretch the last 2” (51mm) of Proto PVC Tape, to avoid stretching or creeping.
Hot system:Use proper insulation thickness to ensure PVC covers are kept below 150°F (66°C). PVC jackets and fitting covers should be kept away from direct contact or exposure to radiated heat. For conditions where operating temperatures exceed 250°F (121°C) or where pipe insulation thickness is greater than 1” (25.4mm), two
or more layers of insulation inserts are required beneath the fitting cover.
Refrigerant Systems and/or Cold Systems In Severe Ambient Conditions:An intermediate layer of low perm facing or vapor-compatible mastic with PVC is required to completely seal the insulation prior to installing the PVC fitting cover. Vapor barrier mastic should be applied between the pipe insulation and the insert, fitting cover, throat of the fitting cover, and overlap seam.
Totally Sealed Systems (USDA): 20 mil (0.5 mm) minimum LoSmoke PVC jacketing should be applied to pipe insulation in conjunction with LoSmoke PVC fitting covers. Circumferential and longitudinal jacketing and fitting cover seams should be sealed with solvent welding adhesive. Circumferential seams should be a minimum of 1 ½” - 2” (38mm to 51mm) overlap and longitudinal seams should be 11⁄2”- 2” (38mm to 51mm) overlap (with 6-8 inches for expansion joints). All seams should visually be checked for seal and, if necessary, repaired. Slip joints will be required between fixed supports and on continuous long runs of straight piping.
Outdoors (for white only):Proto PVC Jacketing thickness for outdoor applications should be a minimum of 0.030” (0.8 mm) and 0.040”(1.0 mm) for any O.D. over 15”. The PVC Jacketing shall be overlapped a minimum of 2” (51 mm) on the down side so as to shed water. All longitudinal and circumferential joints shall be completely weather sealed with caulk adhesive. Additionally, a slip type expansion joint of 8” (202 mm) minimum width shall be applied at least every 25 lineal feet (6.1 lineal meters) and between fittings.

ALUMINUM ROLL JACKETING
(cladding)
DESCRIPTION ITW Pabco/Childers Aluminum Jacketing is the premier protective outer surface for mechanical insulation systems including pipe, vessels, and equipment. It protects the insulation and underlying pipe/vessel from physical damage, UV exposure, corrosive atmospheres, and water. ITW Aluminum jacketing (also called cladding) is available in smooth, stucco embossed, and 3/16 corrugated (cross-crimped) finishes. For larger surfaces, box-rib and deep corrugated sheets are also available. ITW Aluminum Jacketing has a bare outer surface and comes standard with a 3-mil thick polyfilm moisture barrier heat-laminated to the interior surface to help prevent corrosion of the jacketing and the underlying metal pipe, vessel, or equipment. COMPOSITION Commercially pure aluminum is relatively soft and less suited for use in this application. Its strength can be greatly improved by alloying with small percentages of one or more other elements such as manganese, silicon, copper, zinc, and magnesium. Additional strength can be achieved by cold working. ITW Insulation Systems carefully screens all potential aluminum coil suppliers to assure our products have the highest quality, are corrosion resistant, and comply with all relevant standards. ITW Aluminum Jacketing is typically manufactured using alloys 3105 or 3003 which have very similar composition and performance and are considered interchangeable for use as insulation jacketing. ITW reserves the right to ship whichever alloy is in stock at the time of order placement. One of these two specific alloys or an alternative alloy can be specified by purchaser at time of order placement but this may affect minimum quantity, lead-time, and price. Composition Differences in Aluminum Alloys (%)
Alloy Cu Mn Mg Zn 3105 ≤ 0.3 0.3-0.8 0.2-0.8 ≤ 0.4 3003 0.05-0.2 1-1.5 --- ≤ 0.1
COMPLIANCE TO STANDARDS All bare and polyfilm lined Aluminum Jacketing from ITW Insulation Systems complies with the requirements of ASTM C1729 (Aluminum Jacketing
Material Standard) which includes the strength and chemical composition requirements for compliance to ASTM B209 (Aluminum Alloy Standard). RECOMMENDED USES Aluminum Jacketing is recommended for use in all of the following insulation system applications:
• Standard outdoor use on all pipe, vertical tank insulation systems up to 8 ft outer diameter, and all horizontal tanks
• Indoor insulation system applications up to 8 ft outer diameter where increased damage resistance is desired
LIMITATIONS ON USE Aluminum Jacketing is not appropriate for the following applications:
• For vertical tank insulation system applications where the outer diameter is larger than 8 ft, ITW deep corrugated aluminum sheets should be used
• Where increased emissivity is desired, painted aluminum jacketing should be considered
• For applications where a maximum resistance to fire is required, stainless steel jacketing should be used
• For applications where additional resistance to corrosion from the external environment is required, ITW painted aluminum jacketing may be used. Where maximum resistance to corrosion is required, ITW stainless steel jacketing (T304 or T316) should be used.
POLYFILM MOISTURE BARRIER Polyfilm Moisture Barrier (PFMB) is an engineered three layer coextruded film of polyethylene and Surlyn* polymers with a total film thickness of 3 mils (76 µm) that is heat laminated in the factory to the interior surface of aluminum jacketing. ITW recommends the use of PFMB on all aluminum jacketing to help prevent pitting, crevice, and galvanic corrosion of the interior surface of the metal jacketing and the insulated pipe, tank, or equipment. Due to its superior performance characteristics, PFMB replaces the old moisture barrier technology of 1 to 3 mil thick polykraft

ALUMINUM ROLL JACKETING
(cladding) RECOMMENDED THICKNESS ITW recommends that the thickness of aluminum jacketing used vary based on the outer diameter of the insulation system per the requirements of ASTM C1729. This recommended thickness is shown in the table below. EMITTANCE ITW Aluminum Jacketing has an outer surface emittance per ASTM C1371 and specified by ASTM C1729 of:
• Bare aluminum (oxidized in service ) = 0.1 SURFACE FINISHES Each of the three surface finishes available for ITW Aluminum Jacketing (smooth, stucco embossed, and 3/16” corrugated has applications where it is recommended. All of these can be supplied with a painted exterior. For more information on this, consult the ITW data sheet on painted aluminum jacketing. Smooth (Plain Mill) Finish This is a very popular finish and is the “default” for the many end-users/specifiers who prefer the clean look of this finish. This finish sheds rain water the best. However, this smooth surface readily shows damage such as from hail or other physical abuse. It is also shows the dirt more than the other finishes due to its smoothness. Lastly, it is highly reflective of sunlight and when located near roadways, some specifiers see this reflection as a possible safety hazard.
Stucco Embossed Finish This is another popular finish used for aluminum jacketing. The stucco-like surface texture hides small imperfections and scratches caused by physical damage during or after installation. This finish also reduces reflectivity while still looking very professional. Lastly, the use of stucco embossed finish provides a small increase to the rigidity and strength of the aluminum jacketing. 3/16” Corrugated (Cross-Crimped) Finish This finish consists of parallel grooves or crimps about 3/16” apart running in the length direction of the pipe. This finish also hides small damage and scratches to the jacketing and reduces sunlight reflection. In addition, the nature of this finish gives the aluminum jacket more ability to expand and contract to adapt to insulation movement caused by pipe or ambient temperature changes. Lastly, the rigidity and strength of 3/16” corrugated finish is substantially increased making it ideal for use as jacketing on large diameter pipe and vessels up to 8 ft diameter. This finish is available in a maximum thickness of 0.024 inches. FLAMMABILITY ITW Aluminum Jacketing with a 3 mil polysurlyn moisture barrier has been tested for flammability using the industry standard ASTM E84 test method. The results were: ASTM E84 Flame Spread Index = 0 ASTM E84 Smoke Developed Index = 5 (Tested with exterior metal surface exposed to the flame)

DESCRIPTION
ITW Insulation Systems’ Polyfilm lined Aluminum Elbow
Covers are made in two precision formed matching halves to cover and weatherproof insulated 45° and 90° pipe elbows.
These elbow covers are called Ell-Jacs™ Plus by ITW
Insulation Systems.
Like ITW Aluminum Jacketing, Ell-Jacs™ Plus are a premier
protective outer surface for insulation systems on pipe and are
an excellent performing and critical accessory to complement
the aluminum jacketing. Ell-Jacs™ Plus protect the insulation
and underlying pipe from physical damage, UV exposure,
corrosive atmospheres, and water. They also reduce the time
and labor needed to install the metal jacketing system.
Ell-Jacs™ Plus have a 3 mil (76 micron) three-layer Polyfilm
Moisture Barrier (PFMB) that is factory heat laminated to the
interior surface. When coupled with the ultrapure 1100 alloy
used in these elbows, this moisture barrier reduces
pitting/crevice and galvanic corrosion potential of the interior
surface of the elbow cover and the underlying pipe.
Ell-Jacs™ Plus have a factory applied and baked on finish of
highly durable hard film clear acrylic or polyester paint on the
exterior surface to help resist external corrosion and to raise the
emittance. The special paint used on the exterior surface of Ell-
Jacs™ Plus is chalk and fade resistant. It exhibits better
resistance to oxidation and to the effects of various corrosive
environments than bare aluminum jacketing. This painted surface
also resists water, scratching, and fingerprint staining.
See the ITW Polyfilm Technical Data Sheet for more
information on this material.
ADVANTAGES
Ell-Jacs™ Plus provide key advantages over aluminum
elbows with a painted moisture barrier:
• PFMB on the interior surface reduces corrosion
propensity – three layers of film in the PFMB
eliminate pinholes
• Allows for the presence of PFMB on all parts of the
metal jacketing system
• Increased spacing between fingers/ribs, for easier
banding in the middle of the elbow
• PFMB has a very low water vapor transmission rate,
further reducing corrosion potential
• Tough and strong PFMB film to resist damage during
handling and installation. Painted moisture barrier is
more easily scratched
Clear exterior coating helps resist unsightly metal
scratches

INNOVATIVE PRODUCT
Using ITW’s innovation process, our team has developed an
improved product that will enhance the performance of the
overall insulation system.
Ell-Jacs™ Plus will benefit the facility owner and specifier, as
the optimum performing PFMB is now available for the first
time as a complete system without having to utilize gore
sections on the elbows.
COMPOSITION
Ell-Jacs™ Plus are made from the commercially pure
(>99% aluminum) and highly corrosion resistant 1100
aluminum alloy.
The performance of even commercially pure aluminum can
be improved by alloying with small percentages of one or
more other elements such as silicon, iron, copper,
manganese, and zinc. ITW Insulation Systems carefully
screens all potential aluminum coil suppliers to assure our
products have the highest quality, are corrosion resistant, and
comply with all relevant standards. Composition of Aluminum 1100 Alloy (max %)
See the ITW PFMB vs. Polykraft or Paint Data Sheet

SIZE SELECTION AND INSTALLATION
For details on Ell-Jacs™ Plus sizes, their fit on insulation,
and installation, see the ITW data sheet on Aluminum
Elbow Sizes and Installation.
FIT
Ell-Jacs™ Plus are available to fit:
• 45° and 90° pipe elbows
• Long and short radius pipe elbows
• Butt weld, socket weld, and screwed elbows
• Insulated pipe from ½” to 12” NPS1
1Ell-Jacs™ Plus are available as quad sections for some
insulation thicknesses at NPS > 12”. Not all combinations
of NPS and insulation thickness are available. See your
ITW sales representative for details.
THICKNESS
Ell-Jacs™ Plus are 0.024” (0.6 mm) in thickness to allow the
elbows to be formed in the press. This thickness has proven
acceptable in a vast number of installations and is adequate
since elbows do not get the same abuse as straight jacketing
and do not get walked on or ladders leaned on them.
RECOMMENDED USES
Ell-Jacs™ Plus are recommended for use anywhere
aluminum jacketing is used on the associated straight
sections of pipe but are especially critical when the straight
pipe aluminum jacketing uses PFMB.
LIMITATIONS ON USE
Ell-Jacs™ Plus are not appropriate for the following
applications:
• For applications where a maximum resistance to fire
is required, ITW stainless steel elbow covers should
be used
• Where maximum resistance to exterior surface
corrosion is required, ITW stainless steel elbow covers
should be used
EMITTANCE OF ALUMINUM ELBOWS
Ell-Jacs™ Plus have an outer surface emittance as measured
by ASTM C1371 and specified by ASTM C1729 of:
Standard clear coated = 0.5
Bare aluminum (oxidized in service) for comparison
= 0.1
FLAMMABILITY
Ell-Jacs™ Plus have been tested for flammability via the
commonly used ASTM E84 test method. The results are
shown below.
ASTM E84 Flame Spread Index = 0
ASTM E84 Smoke Developed Index = 5
(Tested with exterior metal surface exposed to the flame)
SURFACE FINISHES
Due to the pressing process during elbow formation,
Ell-Jacs™ Plus have a smooth (mill) finish.
COMPLIANCE TO STANDARDS
Ell-Jacs™ Plus from ITW Insulation Systems comply with the
applicable requirements of ASTM C1729 (Aluminum Jacketing
Material Standard), Type III, Grade 3, Class A, which includes
the strength and chemical composition requirements for
compliance to ASTM B209 (Aluminum Alloy Standard).
SEALING OF JOINTS
For best insulation system performance and resistance to
water infiltration, ITW recommends that all joints in Ell-
Jacs™ Plus be sealed with an appropriate joint sealant. This
should be applied between the overlapping pieces of metal in
the joint and not as a caulking bead on the exterior lip of the
joint.

This is a guide. Since conditions vary, consult PittsburghCorning if in doubt about chemical resistance.
MATERIAL APPLICATION:Store PITTWRAP® jacketing in a cool area out of directsun in hot weather. In cold weather, store in warm areaprior to use to facilitate application.
APPLICATION:PITTWRAP® jacketing may be shop or field-applied. Inboth cases, a cigarette-wrap application is used aroundFOAMGLAS® insulation with butt strips over the endjoints. (See back page.)
All underground insulation systems must be designedwith proper engineering details to control expansion/contraction, anchoring, etc. A qualified engineer shouldbe consulted for design.
FITTINGS OR CHANGES IN THICKNESS:With any jacketing or coating, any change in insulationthickness, such as screwed ell covers, pipe stepdowns,etc., should be field-tapered to make a smooth transition.Fittings may be covered with jacketing cut in shapes tofit, or with PITTCOTE® 300 finish (FI-120) and PC®Fabric 79 (FI-159). When finish is used, stop the last fullsection of jacketing 4” (10cm) short of the change inthickness or beginning of curvature. The polyethylenefilm on the PITTWRAP® jacketing must be flashed off aminimum of 2”. Over the bituminous surface, apply atack coat of PITTCOTE® 300 finish 2-3 gallons/100 ft2
(0.8-1.2 l/m2) and embed PC® Fabric 79, lappingjacketing a minimum of 2” (5cm). After one hour, apply asecond coat of finish 2-3 gallons/100 ft2 and a secondlayer of fabric. Apply a top coat of finish 2-3 gallons/100ft2 so that no fabric is visible when dry. Total wetthickness should be _” minimum. If backfilling takesplace less than 24 hours after PITTWRAP® 300 finish isapplied, roofing felt shall be placed over the coating.
The second and succeeding sections are placed in thesame manner, tightly butting the edges. All longitudinaljoints should be started on the same line to facilitate laterplacement of butt strips.
LIMITATIONS:DO NOT use over combustible insulations or installwhere open flames are not permitted.
Do not use above ground without a metal jacket.
Do not use in areas where jacketing will be exposed totemperatures in excess of 190°F (88°C).
Do not use where jacketing will be exposed to solventsthat will dissolve asphalt.
Observe practical precautions when backfilling so not topuncture jacket.
