As you may have noticed from our previous posts, October is the month for insulation; it’s something we feel passionately about.
It’s also, however, a subject for which there is a great deal of published information (difficult to understand even when you do know what you’re talking about.
Ultimately, you don’t need a degree in thermal dynamics or metallurgy to understand the basic principal.
You know enough to recognise when water is not maintaining it’s required temperature, or the pipe work is becoming blocked for seemingly no reason at all.
That’s what counts.
Freeze isolation or “plugging” is common practice amongst pipefitters, but on a bitter winter’s morning, the last task you’d like to be lumbered with is thawing out the frozen drinking water supply.
