<p>A two-piece, interlocking insulator suitable for covering a truncated triangular pipe, the conforming insulator having a base unit, a pair of side walls convergingly extending from the ends of the base unit and terminating with an apex unit. The insulator can closely conform to the perimeter of the truncated triangular pipe of, as in another embodiment, to a ceramic fiber blanket located around the perimeter of the pipe. Each segment of the insulator has a body and a pair of spaced apart arms. When the two segments are longitudinally and conformingly aligned around the pipe, they can be urged together to form an interlocking, insulator which remains around the pipe without any other structural support. When two truncated triangular pipes are aligned so that their base members are contiguous, an additional embodiment of the insulator includes a pair of segments each having a double-angle side wall, a pair of arms partially integral with and partially spaced apart from the double side wall by corresponding recesses and a void corresponding to the remaining double side wall so that as the two segments are conformingly aligned around the pair of pipes, they can be urged together to form an insulator covering. The insulator can further be used with a truncated triangular pipe having a pair of shoulders extending outwardly from each side of the apex member and having a ceramic fiber blanket located around both side members and the base member of the pipe.</p> |
