DANGER—Extremely flammable mixture; vapors may cause flash fire; vapors may ignite explosively; prevent buildup of vapors—open all windows and doors—use only with cross ventilation; keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame; do not smoke; extinguish all flames and pilot lights; and turn off stoves, heaters, electric motors, and other sources of ignition during use and until all vapors are gone; close container after use; avoid prolonged breathing of vapor and prolonged contact with skin; do not take internally; keep away from children.
Not for consumer use. Sold only for professional or industrial application.
Application Instructions Mix well, and apply only to clean, dry, oil-free surfaces. For best results, the adhesive should be brush-applied in a thin, uniform coat to both bonding surfaces. Allow the adhesive to tack prior to joining both surfaces. Avoid open time of more than 10 minutes. 520 Adhesive bonds instantly, so pieces must be positioned accurately as contact is made. Moderate pressure should then be applied to the entire bonding area to insure complete contact.
It is recommended that the adhesive be applied at temperatures above 40°F (4°C) and not on heated surfaces.
Where application between 32°F and 40°F (0°C and 4°C) can not be avoided, exercise more care in applying the adhesive and closing the joint. Applications below 32°F (0°C) are not recommended.
Where lines and tanks that are insulated and will operate at hot temperatures, 520 Adhesive must cure a minimum of 36 hours at room temperature to attain heat resistance for insulated pipe to 250°F (120°C) and insulated tanks and equipment to 180°F (82°C).
Adhesive-bonded seams and joints of Armaflex Pipe Insulation must cure before finishes are applied. Where the insulation is installed by adhering seams and butt joints, the adhesive must cure 24 to 36 hours.
Adhesive-bonded seams and joints of Armaflex Sheet Insulation must cure before finishes are applied. Where the insulation is installed by adhering seams and butt joints only, the adhesive must cure 24 to 36 hours. Where the insulation is installed against surfaces with full adhesive coverage, requiring wet adhesive at joints, the adhesive must cure seven days.
Thinning is not recommended.
Either methyl ethyl ketone or most lacquer thinners can be used to clean fresh residue from tools and workpieces.

Friendly Feel® Duct Wrap with ECOSE® Technology Submittal Date _________________
Knauf Insulation Friendly Feel® Duct Wrap with ECOSE® Technology and KwikStretch® Markings is a thermal and acoustical insulation blanket made from highly resilient, inorganic glass fibers bonded with ECOSE Technology. It is available unfaced, with a foil-scrim-kraft (FSK) jacket and with a white metalized polypropylene-scrim-kraft (PSK) jacket. Vapor retarders provide a 2" (51 mm) staple flange on one edge, and the factory-applied facing assures uniform quality.
KwikStretch Markings on the staple flange allow for easy and accurate job site measurements.
ECOSE Technology ECOSE Technology is a revolutionary binder chemistry that makes Knauf Insulation products even more sustainable than ever. It features rapidly renew-able bio-based materials rather than non-renewable petroleum-based chemicals traditionally used in fiber glass insulation products. ECOSE Technology reduces binder embodied energy and does not contain phenol, formaldehyde, acrylics or artificial colors.
Application Knauf Insulation Friendly Feel Duct Wrap is used as external insulation on commercial or residential heating or air conditioning ducts. It is suitable for the exterior of rectangular or round sheet metal ducts and spaces or surfaces where temperature and condensation must be controlled.

Application and Specification Guidelines Storage
• Protect stored insulation from water damage, construction damage and other abuse.
• If stored outside, proper protection from weather conditions should be provided.
Preparation
• Install Knauf Insulation Friendly Feel Duct Wrap over clean, dry sheet metal ducts.
• All sheet metal joints and seams must be sealed to prevent air leakage from the duct.
• Install Knauf Insulation Friendly Feel Duct Wrap
| with | facing | to | the | outside | to | obtain | specified | R-value |
| using | a | maximum | of | 25% | compression. |
• Butt all insulation joints firmly together. Longitudinal seam of the vapor retarder must be overlapped a minimum of 2" (51 mm). A 2" (51 mm) tab is provided for the circumferential seam and must be overlapped.
• Where vapor retarder performance is necessary, all penetrations, joints, seams and damage to the fac-ing should be sealed with an FSK, PSK or foil tape or glass fabric and mastic prior to system startup.
• Pressure sensitive tapes should be a minimum of 3" (76 mm) wide and be applied with moving pressure using an appropriate sealing tool. Staples should be outward clinch and placed approximately 6" (152 mm) on center.
| • | Closure | systems | should | have | a | 25/50 | F.H.C. | per | |
| UL | 723. |
• For rectangular ducts over 24" (610 mm) wide, secure the insulation to the bottom side of the duct with mechanical fasteners spaced on 18" (457mm) centers to reduce sag. Care should be taken to avoid overcompressing the insulation with the retaining washer.
• It is neither necessary nor desirable to adhere duct wrap to duct surfaces with adhesive.
• Unfaced Duct Wrap should be overlapped with a minimum of 2" (51 mm) and fastened with 4" (102mm) to 6" (152 mm) nails or skewers placed 4" (102mm) apart or secured with a wire or banding system. Care must be taken to avoid damaging the duct wrap. Refer to diagram for staple stitching and butt-joint method.
Installation Procedures
• Use the table (back) to determine stretch-outs required for the nominal thickness of insulation to
| limit | average | compression | of | the | insulation | 25% | |
| or | less. | Use | KwikStretch | markings | on | the | staple |
| flanges | to | speed | measurement | of | duct | wrap. |
Fiber Glass and Mold Fiber glass insulation will not sustain mold growth.
However, mold can grow on almost any material when it becomes wet and contaminated. Carefully inspect any insulation that has been exposed to water. If it shows any sign of mold, it must be discarded. If the material is wet but shows no evidence of mold, it should be dried rapidly and thoroughly. If it shows signs of facing degradation from wetting, it should be replaced.
Air handling insulation used in the air stream must be discarded if exposed to water.

AP Armaflex (and AP Armaflex W) Pipe (Tube) Insulation
• Retards heat gain and controls condensation drip from chilled-water and refrigeration systems. Efficiently reduces heat flow for hot-water plumbing, liquid-heating and dual-temperature piping
• Acceptable for use in air plenums and conforms to NFPA 90A and NFPA 90B requirements
The recommended temperature usage range for AP Armaflex Pipe Insulation is -297°F to +220°F (-183°C to +105°C). For use on cold pipes, thicknesses have been calculated to control condensation on the insulation outer surface, as shown in the table of thickness recommendations. AP Armaflex meets the energy code requirements of ASHRAE 90.1, International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) and other building codes.
AP Armaflex Pipe Insulation in unslit tubular form can be slipped onto piping before it is connected, or it can be slit lengthwise and snapped over piping already connected. Fitting covers are fabricated from miter-cut tubular form. In all cases, butt joints and seams are to be sealed with one of our Armaflex adhesives:
Armaflex 520, 520 Black or, where a low V.O.C. adhesive is required, 520 BLV. 520 Adhesives are contact adhesives;
therefore, in all cases, both surfaces to be joined are coated with adhesive.
For pipes greater than 8˝ IPS*, use AP/Armaflex Sheet/Roll insulation (black only). For thicknesses greater than 1˝, sleeve the insulation. See technical bulletin #030 for additional information.
AP Armaflex normally requires no supplemental vapor-retarder protection but additional vapor-retarder protection may be necessary when installed on very-low-temperature piping or exposure to continually high humidity conditions.
AP Armaflex is designed for installation above or below ground.
For below ground applications, contact Armacell or see our Technical Bulletin No. 7 on our website, www. armacell.com.
Outdoors, a weather-resistant protective finish is to be applied and Armaflex WB Finish is recommended.
Armaflex insulation products must be installed according to “Installation of Armaflex Insulations” brochure.
Proper installation is required to assure Armaflex insulation performance.
AP/Armaflex FS pipe insulation is available in 1-1/2˝ and 2˝ wall thicknesses with 25/50 rating for ID size range from 3/8˝ to 8˝ IPS*.

ALUMINUM
ELBOW COVERS
ITW Insulation Systems Aluminum Elbow Covers are made in two precision formed matching halves to cover and weatherproof insulated 45° and 90° pipe elbows.
These elbow covers are also known under the ITW Pabco and Childers brand names as Sure-Fit and Ell-Jacs, respectively.
Like ITW Aluminum Jacketing, Aluminum Elbow Covers are a premier protective outer surface for mechanical insulation systems on pipe and are an excellent performing and critical accessory to compliment the aluminum jacketing. ITW Aluminum Elbow Covers protect the insulation and underlying pipe/tank from physical damage, UV exposure, corrosive atmospheres, and water and reduce the labor necessary to install the metal jacketing system.
The ITW standard Aluminum Elbow Covers have a gold colored acrylic or polyester painted moisture barrier on the interior surface to help reduce interior surface corrosion.
They also have a factory applied and baked on finish of highly durable hard film clear acrylic or polyester paint on the exterior surface to help resist external corrosion and to raise the emittance.
The special paints used on the interior and exterior of ITW Aluminum Elbow Covers are chalk and fade resistant.
They exhibit better resistance to oxidation and to the effects of various corrosive environments than bare aluminum jacketing. This painted surface also resists water and fingerprint staining.
COMPOSITION
ITW Aluminum Elbow Covers are made from the commercially pure (>99% aluminum) and highly corrosion resistant 1100 aluminum alloy.
The performance of even commercially pure aluminum can be improved by alloying with small percentages of one or more other elements such as silicon, iron, copper, manganese, and zinc. ITW Insulation Systems carefully screens all potential aluminum coil suppliers to assure our products have the highest quality, are corrosion resistant, and comply with all relevant standards.
Composition of Aluminum 1100 Alloy (max %)
Alloy Si + Fe Cu Mn Zn 1100 0.95 0.05-0.20 0.05 0.1
SIZE SELECTION AND INSTALLATION
For details on ITW Aluminum Elbow Cover sizes, their fit on insulation, and installation, see the ITW data sheet on Aluminum Elbow Sizes and Installation.
FIT
ITW Aluminum Elbow Covers are available to fit:
• 45° and 90° pipe elbows
• Long or short radius pipe elbows
• Butt weld, socket weld, and screwed elbows
• Insulated pipe from ½” to 12” NPS*
*ITW Aluminum Elbow Covers are available for some insulation thicknesses at NPS > 12”. Not all combinations of NPS, insulation thickness, radius, and elbow angle are available. See your ITW sales representative for details.
THICKNESS
ITW Aluminum Elbow Covers are 0.024” in thickness to allow the elbows to be formed in the press.
RECOMMENDED USES
ITW Aluminum Elbow Covers are recommended for use anywhere aluminum jacketing is used on the associated straight sections of pipe.

ALUMINUM
ELBOW COVERS
LIMITATIONS ON USE
ITW Aluminum Elbow Covers are not appropriate for the following applications:
• For applications where a maximum resistance to fire is required, stainless steel elbow covers should be used
• Where maximum resistance to corrosion is required, ITW stainless steel elbow covers should be used.
MOISTURE BARRIER
ITW Aluminum Elbow Covers have a painted moisture barrier on the interior surface. When coupled with the ultrapure 1100 alloy used in these elbows, this moisture barrier helps to prevent pitting/crevice and galvanic corrosion of the interior surface of the elbow cover and the underlying pipe.
EMITTANCE OF ALUMINUM ELBOWS
ITW Aluminum Elbow Covers have an outer surface emittance as measured by ASTM C1371 and specified by ASTM C1729 of:
• Standard clear coated = 0.5
• White painted = 0.8
• Bare aluminum (oxidized in service ) for comparison = 0.1
FLAMMABILITY
ITW Aluminum Jacketing with a 3 mil polysurlyn moisture barrier has been tested for flammability using the industry standard ASTM E84 test method. The results are shown below. ITW would expect Aluminum Elbow Covers to have flammability performance as good as or better than our aluminum jacketing since the elbows have no organic film present.
ASTM E84 Flame Spread Index = 0 ASTM E84 Smoke Developed Index = 5
(Tested with exterior metal surface exposed to the flame)
SURFACE FINISHES
Due to the pressing process during elbow formation, ITW Aluminum Elbow Covers have a smooth (mill) finish.
COMPLIANCE TO STANDARDS
All Aluminum Elbow Covers from ITW Insulation Systems comply with the applicable requirements of ASTM C1729 (Aluminum Jacketing Material Standard), Type III, Grade 3, Class D, which includes the strength and chemical composition requirements for compliance to ASTM B209 (Aluminum Alloy Standard).
EXTERIOR COLORS
The standard exterior color for ITW Aluminum Elbow Covers is a clear paint which reveals the natural aluminum color. ITW Aluminum Elbow Covers are also available via special order with a white or gray painted exterior surface to match the colors of our standard painted aluminum jacketing or other colors.
SEALING OF JOINTS
For best insulation system performance and resistance to water infiltration, ITW recommends that all joints in Aluminum Elbow Covers be sealed with an appropriate joint sealant. This should be applied between the overlapping pieces of metal in the joint and not as a caulking bead on the exterior lip of the joint.
