Hello,

I do not remember your name but I was impressed with your presentation at the NYARM seminar.

You mention at the seminar that fiberglass insulation wrapped around hot pipes saves gallons of oil. What was the amounts you gave? Thank you for your time.

Dear Scott,

“If its Hot to the Touch it cost too much!”   Thank you for the Compliment ! I am glad that you remembered my e mail address. What I quoted at the seminar was “ for every 100 Ft of exposed 3’’ steam line you will waste 3 Gallons of oil per hour of operation” This is based upon steam pipe with no insulation in a basement area or other un heated space. The recommended amount of Fiberglass insulation is 2’’ for steam supply AND Return lines and 1 ‘’ for Domestic hot water lines. Please e mail me for a copy of a Chart that I prepared explaining the benefits of pipe insulation to my Clients in a recent news letter ( It does not post well here on the blog) mikeg@lessoil.com    I hope that this is helpful. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or if you would like a free building survey.
