INSTA-FOAM 700 Pre-Insulated Pipe
Insta-Foam Products, Inc. An Indian Head Company, Pre-Insulated Pipe Division, 1500 Cedarwood Drive, Joliet Illinois 60435
8 page catalog / brochure for Insta-Foam products ^700. Company challenges you to "cut your installation costs in the field" by taking their 12 month comparison test between their product & a similar fiberglas or Calcium Silicate pipe-because their "pre-insulated pipe outperforms and costs less than pipes insulated the old-fashioned way-with fiberglass or calcium silicate." (a google search shows Calcium Silicate contains a percentage of Asbestos, a silicate).
"Calcium silicate and fiberglass for pipe insulation have been around since the 1930s. But that was when energy was cheap. When was the last time you figured out how much these materials cost you in wasted BTUs?" It then gives an Installed Cost Comparison chart ^700 pre-insulated pipe vs convention field applied calcium silicate insulation and another Energy Cost Comparison chart.
