See attached MICA plates: Attached are MICA Plates from the latest edition, 8th edition (2016). MICA Plates listed in
these specifications for fittings are old Plate numbers. We have listed the old Plate number for reference.

1-100 Pre-formed Pipe Insulation. For fiberglass pipe insulation (used on domestic hot water, how water heating and
chilled water pipe, per 23 07 00 3.2.1.7, Table 2).

1-200 Flexible Foam Pipe Insulation. For elastomeric insulation (used on condensate drain pipe and domestic cold water
pipe, per 23 07 00 3.2.1.7, Table 2). This is submitted as the shop drawing for these systems.

1-610 Clevis Hanger – High Density Inserts. 2” pipe size and larger will be detail B. See notes on this MICA Plate for
concerns. Typical installation for trapeze hangers. Reference 23 07 00 3.2.1.3.2. This is submitted as the shop drawing
for these systems.

2-130 Field- or Factory- Fabricated Valve Insulation. This replaces old MICA Plate #14. Reference 23 07 00 3.2.2.4.b. This
is submitted as the shop drawing for these systems. This is similar to flange insulation references as old MICA Plate #17.

2-200 Flexible Foam Fittings. For elastomeric insulation (used on condensate drain pipe and domestic cold water pipe,
per 23 07 00 3.2.1.7, Table 2) This is submitted as the shop drawing for these systems. Pipe Tees are similar.

2-500 PVC/Insert Elbow Insulation System. This replaces old MICA Plate number 12. Reference 23 07 00 3.2.2.4.b. This is
submitted as the shop drawing for these systems.

3-100 Flexible Fibrous Blanket Duct wrap. For insulating specified ducts listed in 23 07 00 3.3.1 Table 4, and 3.3.2.1. This
is submitted as the shop drawing for these systems. Note that MICA Plate states to use adhesive and mechanical
fasteners shown. Manufacturer state it is not necessary or desirable to adhere duct wrap to duct with adhesive (this
reduces the efficiency of the fiberglass). Specification calls for spacing of fasteners in 23 07 00 3.3.2.1.b and c.

3-120 Rigid Board Duct Insulation. For insulating specified ducts listed in 23 07 00 3.3.1 Table 4, and 3.3.2.2. This is

shown. Adhesive is not called for in specification for board type insulation. MICA Plate material 7. Jacketing, is not called
for in specification.

4-120 Flexible Foam for Low Temperature Equipment. For insulating Chill Pumps, Expansion Tanks, Air Separators, and
Chemical Feeds; Hot Pumps and Air Separators; per 23 07 00 3.4.2. This is submitted as the shop drawing for these
items. Insulation shown in this MICA Plate shows sealing the insulation around the pump. We will comply with the Old
MICA Plate #49 and as described in 23 07 00 3.4.2.3

49 (old) Removable and Reusable Insulation- Elastomeric with Metal Frame. For insulating pumps per 23 07 00 3.4.2

Submittal Data

Spec 23 07 00 3.2.1.3.2 states to use 180 degree insert. Therefore detail A above is N/A.
This is for piping larger than 2".

Several problems arise from this installation. 1) the specified cellular glass is manufactured
at a thickness that is not consistant with the specified and allowable elastomeric insulation.
2) the adhesion between materials will not hold and the vapor barrier cannot be achieved.
We propose to use the allowable wood dowels or blocks, stated in this paragraph, as the
solution to these problems.

Ducts, Plenums, and Housings

Flexible Fibrous Blanket Duct Insulation

Hot and cold air ducts may be insulated using flexible fibrous blanket
insulation. Applications generally require no additional ­f inish beyond the
factory-applied vapor-retarder jacket.

Detail A — Rectangular.

Detail B — Round or oval.

Materials: Flexible blanket of glass or mineral fiber insulation, vapor-retarder

tape or mastic, adhesive and mechanical ­fasteners. Follow manufacturers’
recommended stretch-out schedule to avoid compression of the insulation
to achieve required installed “R-values”. (See table below.)
1. Duct.
2. Insulation.
3. Lap.
4. Mechanical fasteners.
5. Vapor-retarder tape or mastic.
6. Lap adhesive or outward clinch staples (optional).
7. Adhesive to adhere insulation to duct (optional).

Ducts, Plenums, and Housings

Rigid Board, Wrap-around, and Pre-formed Duct
Insulation (Exposed)

Rigid board duct insulation may be specified for exposed rectangular ducts
plenums and housings. Rigid wrap-around and pre-formed pipe insulation
may be specified for exposed round and oval ducts. Outdoor installations
require a weather-barrier jacketing in addition to the factory-applied jacketing
used on indoor exposed applications. Types of jackets available include
metal, plastic, or flexible membranes. Choice of jacket is dependent upon
the mechanical abuse, weather exposure and appearance requirements of
the installation.

Bends or sweeps of round ductwork may be treated with mitered segments

of pipe covering as illustrated in Plate 2-110, or with flexible insulation as
illustrated in Plate 2-500.

Detail A — Rectangular.

Detail B — Round or oval.

Materials: Rigid duct insulation, vapor-retarder tape or mastic, adhesive,

mechanical fasteners, and jacketing.
1. Duct.
2. Insulation.
3. Adhesive (optional).
4. Mechanical fasteners.
5. Vapor-retarder tape or mastic.
6. Jacketing (factory applied).
7. Jacketing (field applied).
