Heat Pump Pipework Insulation Problems & Solutions
Show Notes

Nathan chats with his friend Dave who runs and owns Condensate Pro and now Primary Pro.

Primary Pro is a polyethylene product which comes pre painted making it easier to use than class O insulation. He has also developed Bond & Seal which can be applied all weathers unlike the contact adhesive which is used for Class O.

The conversation is a useful resource for people wanting to understand the types of pipe insulation available and how to install it correctly, especially for heat pump pipework which is outside

Topics

  •  weather resistance and weather proofing are discussed along with UV protection.
  • polyethylene and Class O
  • Nitrate Rubber Foam
  • Closed cell insulation
  • Clipping insulation
