can this be used to wrap outside furnance pipe

If the question is, furnace pipe that is exposed to the outdoors, to weather, the answer is definitely NO. This wrap is designed for interior furnace ducts and wrapping the outside of the duct to retain heat through the ductwork all the way to the vent.

I used the same size and length of pipe to mount a weather station to the side of a building. It has held up great, but you will have more weight at the top. Just seperate the mounts further apart and it should hold up as well......

I would recommend checking local code. Even if the code allows it, personally I would feel more comfortable with black pipe for the outside, mainly due to highier possibility of puncture with a corrugated pipe. I used this product inside a building and ended up running it inside a pvc pipe to help protect it from drywall screws, etc.

I would not advise cutting this. There are several lengths available. You shouldn't need to cut it - it wraps around the pipe.

no, its not meant to be usede like that this is used more to reflect the heat away from like wires and stuff sensitive to heat,i think they make something that you can use directly on your pipes,i used it to reflect the heat from my pipes away from the bottom of my saddle bags,works excellent for that.

Yes, this product can be used outdoors on exposed pipes and faucets. All circuitry and electronics are sealed inside the vinyl and will not be damage by moisture or temperature changes. I hope this helps.....on another note, it's a good product.

It is not waterproof for outside installation. It should be installed on indoor part of pipe.

It's fairly flexible. It's a medium soft rubber. Might be a little big to wrap around a pipe of that size with it wrapping on itself. Maybe lengthwise it would work

This product wasn't designed for wrapping exhaust pipes and I doubt seriously if it would work at all in that application

According to manufacturer's info on package, it can be used on PVC pipe. They recommend wrapping with insulation to hold in the heat, however in the case of PVC pipe, I would not seal it off at either end for fear that it would retain too much heat.

I have not used it to wrap exhausts and would not recommend that, this does not have metallic backing, it is micro perforated which makes it great for plastic and metal accenting. I used it for tank of my bike, I used it for accent pannels. Works great but not made for high high heat, Will shrink with flame

Sounds like you're assuming that heat tape somehow is physically connected to the piping. If so, that's not true. You simply wind it fairly tightly around the pipe(s) to be protected. So if your heat tape is lobg enough there's no problem using it on hot and cold pipes.

This wrap is a great insulator. As long as the heat is low enough so that the plastic inside does not burn, it should work fine. If you are wrapping duct work it will work great. It is not for exhaust vent piping, which even double-walled would still be too high a temperature.

I use it on the hose outside and bring it thought the window it would not fit on my kitchen faucet

Yes. I have mine wrapped around 1" pvc drain pipe from natural gas boiler. Working like a charm through temps down to 0. No noticable increase in electric bill.

I have used it externally and have seen others use it that way also--but that is not to say it was intended to be. Outside the insulation will eventually deteriorate and crack due to weather and sunshine but that will take a while. Best wishes!

The answer depends upon how tightly you wrap the pipe. If you space the wraps about 6" to 8" apart you should be able to do the job with as little as 40 feet , if you have intense cold, I'd guess 60' might work. I will last a long time, as I've never burned one out. I works well with fewer wraps if you cover it with high density tubular pipe insulation.
