Re: Insulating Underground Pipes
|
Text of the message: |
18 inches is not sufficient for any pipes with water. Pipes typically should be 3 feet under for reliability, human safety, and pipe protection (even from rodents) as well as to insulate the pipes. Insulation only 18 inches down makes a perfect nest for rodents. Pipes should also be installed so that if the heat is turned off, pipes will not freeze. 18 inches is not sufficient for electric wires feeding the building. Why then would it be acceptable for heat pipes? Meanwhile, if 6 inches of insulation was not sufficient for the house, then why would anything less be sufficient for pipes that are even hotter? Let's assume those pipes have 6 inches of insulation. That means less than 1 foot of dirt? To be effective, the insulation must not compress which is another reason why the pipes should be deeper - not subject to compression forces of overhead traffic only 1 foot away. elliott.plack@gmail.com wrote: |
