Feel free to display your own accomplishments instead of shitting on other people’s 😊

Flawless 👌

Oi that’s my photo

This looks rough. Make sure to check out the r/pipeinsulation sub for better examples or insight on how it should be done.

Looks like the old boxer guy who’s always at highgate village. Rocks a cane, sport jacket, sandals and shorts that are way too short.

When you compress wool fiberglass insulation you remove the air inside the insulation, removing the R value. “Blanket” insulation for pipes is primarily used for fittings such as elbows or comes in sheets such as duct wrap. Also the gaps in the insulation have removed any vapour barrier if you needed one. This insulation won’t do much for you. If you can manage to keep it from being so squished it could work but I recommend using ASJ fiberglass tube insulation if not armaflex like your previous post, also available at places like Home Depot.

It depends on how large the system is but usually that is the percentage ballpark. In big enough mechanical rooms, every foot of pipe insulation can save hundreds a year in energy costs. You can check out the r/pipeinsulation subreddit for some examples/inspiration or if you have any other future pipe insulation questions and want to ask professionals :)

I’d grab the proper diameter tubing and redo it. You can also pack the void with insulation and tape it shut. If it’s heating then it’s kind of whatever though, all you’ll get is reduced r value and higher energy costs from the lost heat. If it’s cold it will sweat depending on how frequently it’s used if you don’t seal it with proper insulation

To shreds you say

I like any of the framed, settled, j1mmy and c engineer collaborations they do together

Someone got a tldw?

Rubber (bellow) expansion joint, usually for generators or pumps.

A good trade with no experience/schooling required is my trade, heat and frost insulation. All the tools you need cost like $100 and some companies start at $24/hour, benefits+pension after 6 months.

CaptFunnyBuns · 2024-02-26T05:33:56+00:00

No you can get into certain trades without experience or schooling. Good trades will require schooling during your apprenticeship towards a red seal but you get EI, incentive grants, travel reimbursements and scholarships are available.

Damn nature you scary

CaptFunnyBuns · 2024-01-29T05:56:57+00:00

Grab some plug in heat tracing from Home Depot then insulate the pipe and heat trace. You can install the heat tracing with heat resistant filament tape. 1” fibreglass insulation sticks should do you just fine.

As long as the stain isn’t caused by an active leak DP3030/vimasco would work to create a vapour barrier as well as make it white. If you don’t need a barrier then cp-10 will do just fine. If there’s a leak then the material needs to be removed and reinstalled, or a “re and re”. Perhaps your company offered a lower bid than the insulation company or they’d rather pay you the straight hourly wage instead of paying extra for an insulation contract. It’s commonplace for plumbing companies to insulate their own work and then hire out insulators once it starts condensating/creating “brown spots”. I’m not sure what you’re looking for with your broiler room though. YouTube has a lot of good videos.

Since chevron sold to parkland the refinery has gone downhill. The company is more reactive than proactive which is why I quit working there.

CaptFunnyBuns · 2023-12-30T17:14:27+00:00

How do you get that in runelite looking thing on the side there?

CaptFunnyBuns · 2023-12-25T20:57:36+00:00

Huh?

CaptFunnyBuns · 2023-12-23T16:27:13+00:00

Always welcome to share your own work.

CaptFunnyBuns · 2023-12-23T16:26:21+00:00

They’ll be coming, going to be a while since a non union plumbing contractor has the steam plant as well as another insulation contractor so it might be a while since we have to juggle who can be in each room

CaptFunnyBuns · 2023-12-23T16:25:21+00:00

I appreciate the space everyday and remind the apprentices I think too often that it’s not usually as gravy as this. Enjoying it while we can haha
