I am looking to add some insulation to some "bare" pipes and all the elbows and joints on the main. Can anyone recommend a source?
Searched on the web and found this - does it look ok as a source - seems to have a lot of different options available

shipping
The killer for online is shipping. The insulation comes as 3 foot lengths and most places consider it oversize even though the weight isn't much.

Wholesaler
I used the locator and found a place only 5 miles away. If they do not deal directly with the public I will get them to tell me who I need to go through. Thanks.0 -

online source
I got ours from:
http://www.statesupply.com
We used Owens Corning, and it makes a heck of a difference in how the system performs. The insulation that is.

Thickness
Where I have insulation it is 1" thick. Should I plan to replace that with thicker stuff, since I saw on one of the sites that 2" thick was available?0 -
