<p>A pipe insulator has two segments forming halves of the insulator, each segment having a frame including a pair of supports connected by a connecting bar, these supports terminating at each end in a face and a tab which is spaced apart from the support and connected to the support by the face. The frame is secured to the insulator segment by a plurality of anchors. A keeper having a converging passageway therethrough and a slot therealong is applied to opposing tabs and faces of the insulator segments urging them together and maintaining the insulator segments together around the pipe without any additional support structure. The independently supported insulator is compatible with both round pipe and new, unconventional noncircular pipes.</p> |
