The header on my WM 88 series 9 section has no insulation
The pipe is 8.5" OD, about 7 feet long
What would be the best way to insulate it --- I can not find material like a fiberglass shell.

Nick

8" Pipe Size Fiberglass Insulation
If the OD is 8.5" you have a pipe that has an 8" Nominal Pipe Size. They make 8 x whatever thickness fiberglass you need and come in 3ft lon sections that would snap right on.There was an error rendering this rich post.
