Hi all, i ve been insulating all the mains and return lines and radiator runs with those 3 foot fiberglass sections and as i work my way back to the boiler im wondering if there is a good insulation wrap that some one could recommend ? Instead of cutting the sections into pieces plus they don't fit over all the elbows and tees. It just seems better and easier to use a roll of wrap . thanks very much mark

    So i have learned there is a huge difference in quality between the 3 foot lengths of pipe insulation that home depot sells compared to my local supply . The wrap used around the fiberglass is actually thinner and the adhesive used on the HD brand is not as good it comes apart when heat runs through the pipes and the prices are the same .
