WHAT'S NEW PIPE INSULATION A new do-it-yourself pipe insulation that can help homeowners conserve energy has been developed by Armstrong Cork Com pany’s Industry Products Division. Armstrong Do-It-Yourself Pipe Insulation is designed to help homeowners lower their fuel bills and conserve energy in hot-water systems by reducing heat loss through pipes. It also helps to control messy con densation on cold-water pipes during humid summer months. The new pipe insulation is a flexible elastomeric thermal insulation supplied as flanged sht-tubing for fast and easy application. The pipe covering is snapped over the pipe and then held in place with easy to install metal clamps that fit right over the flange to provide a tight fit. The D-I-Y Pipe Insulation is available m three common home piping sizes: 1/2 in die copper tubing, 3/4 mche copper tubing, and 1 mche copper tubing. Armstrong is ottering the insulation m a special display carton through hardware and building supply stores. Individual packaged units in the display carton will retail for ap proximately $6. Each package contains six three foot lengths of pipe in sulation and metal clips.
