Summary: | An insulation system exhibiting superior ability to maintain insulation in a dry and effective condition and to remove moisture that condenses near a cold pipe is disclose d. The insulation system features a wicking material that surrounds the pipe and passes through a slit in the insulation. A vapor retarder surrounds the outer perimeter of th e insulation. At the seam, a flap, containing openings that permit evaporation of moisture, exten ds over the slit and attaches to the vapor retarder. The vapor retarder provides enhanced performance by preventing the seepage of moisture back into the bulk of the insulation.</SD OAB> |
