The PlenumWrap+ system shall be installed by a qualified contractor
in accordance with the Thermal Ceramics manufacturer’s instructions.
Materials and Equipment:
• PlenumWrap+,

” min.thickness, 24” wide by 50’ long, and 48” wide
by 25’ long
• Glass filament reinforced tape (optional)
• Aluminum foil tape for sealing cut edges of foil encapsulated blanket
• Banding material, minimum
1 /
2
” wide, 0.015” thick, carbon or
stainless steel. Note: One strand of minimum 16 gauge carbon or
stainless steel tie wire may be used as an alternative
• Hand tensioning tool and crimping tool
Installation Method:
• Cut PlenumWrap+ to a length sufficient to wrap completely around
the perimeter of the pipe or cable, plus provide an overlap of not
less than 1”.
• Aluminum foil tape is used to seal cut edges of the encapsulated
blanket during installation.
• Secure the PlenumWrap+ blanket in place by using glass filament
tape as an optional temporary hold until banding or tie wire is in
place.
• Cut the next adjacent wrap of PlenumWrap+ to completely wrap
around the perimeter of the pipe or cable with enough excess to
overlap itself not less than 1”. A 1” longitudinal overlap is required
onto the previous adjacent wrap.
• Banding - min. 1 /
2
” wide, 0.015” thick carbon or stainless steel
banding is placed around the entire perimeter of the insulated pipe
or cable on maximum 11
1 /

” centers, and 1 /
2
” from each blanket
edge. As an alternative, 16 gauge carbon or stainless steel tie wire
may be used in place of banding. Tighten the banding or tie wire to
hold the wrap firmly in place without cutting or damaging the wrap.
Bands or tie wires may be hand tightened.
8. Storage:
PlenumWrap+ must be stored in a dry warehouse environment.
Pallets should not be stacked.
9. Maintenance and Repair
No maintenance is required when installed in accordance with
Thermal Ceramics installation instructions.
If damage is limited to the foil facing material, aluminum foil tape can
be used to repair the foil facing.
If damage penetrates the foil facing and damages the underlying
blanket, the entire section of blanket should be removed and replaced
according to Thermal Ceramics installation instructions, ensuring the
proper overlaps and mechanical fastening.
