Looking for some 1″ thick pipe insulation for steam mains. Anyone know a good, reasonably priced source in Brooklyn? All the big box and local hardware stores seem to only have the puny 1/2″ thick variety – I’ve only seen the 1″ online (State Supply, etc).

I need it for mains sized 2″-4″. Tks!

  1. Tks for the rec, Steam Man….Allstate was willing to work with me AND they are considerably cheaper than ordering online from State Supply.

    Park Slope Plumbing Supply doesn’t stock the 1″ thick insulation. They said they can special order it, but I never heard back with a price quote…not to knock them too hard – they were very helpful with a main venting project I’m working on.

  2. My insulation vendor is:
    Allstate Insulation 56-23 55TH AVENUE
    MASPETH, NY 11378
    PHONE: 718-894-2345
    FAX: 718-894-4966

    They carry pretty much everything i need on any of the public works projects my company does so I figure a residential job is stock material. Not sure if they sell retail but give them a shout anyway. Good luck.

  3. I would like to know as well. We’re looking for a “Green” type of insulation. something other then fiberglass. As fiberglass is an irritant, and will probably eventually be considered a hazard.
