When it comes to the thickness of insulation on the pipe, the insulation thickness must comply with standards and specifications of SEAI’s Home Energy Upgrade grant programmes and S.R. 54 Code of Practice for the Energy Efficient Retrofit of Dwellings.
As a rule of thumb for installers, it is important to remember that the thickness of the insulation must be greater than the pipe diameter.
Top Tip from SEAI for the Trade
It’s important for builders’ merchants, hardware & DIY stores as well as manufacturers and suppliers to manufacture/stock the correct thickness of pipe insulation in order for SEAI registered contractors to avail of the correct material which will meet SEAI Home Energy Upgrade grant programme compliance standards.
