Can I (and should I) wrap this product in insulation after install? If you did, what did you use... fiberglass wrap or the slit foam covering?

Either one will work and It is actually a good Idea, This will help save a little money and contain the heat provided by the wrap.

It needs to be wrapped in insulation, or else to much of the heat will escape and it won't work as effectively. It also says to then wrap it in with a moisture barrier to keep it dry. I wrapped this one with fiberglass 'cause it's on an exposed p-trap that freezes if it gets too cold. But I also have a long run of pex that is wrapped with the slit foam and that works great.

I insulated mine not only for minimizing heat loss but also for protection from damage. I used slit foam. Because of inexperience I had a problem using pressurized foam sealant where the insulation was cut to acommadate pipe fittings and clips. Not a pretty sight

This foam was glued on and used to both help insulate and give a softer touch to a 27 foot circular pool sides. The liner went over it so no water really would affect the foam. I have a piece left over I will see if water soaks through it tomorrow and respond.

I installed these in the ceiling of our Ranch house and first went up into the attic to mark where we would place the speakers (I didn't want to start a hole close to a beam or wires) while up there I moved the insulation out of the way and placed foam flower protectors over the center of the hole (amzn.com/B00448J1FY), Then I replaced the insulation. That way there is an insulated cavity above the speaker and it doesn't interfere with the speakers. Speaker wire was run to each location and the wired poked through the foam pot protector. I found the foam protectors at a local store for a few bucks each.

As far as I know as long as you wipe the surface down with alcohol (where you will be placing the double sided tape) allowing it to dry I don't think the temperature will affect installation - the tape adheres well to any surface I have tried so far. The plastic is used to cover the interior side of windows; not outside of the window. I have also discovered it is best to place clear packing tape across the bottom part of plastic - on the underside of window sill - BEFORE shrinking with blow dryer. It helps to prevent plastic from pulling upward and eventually making it's way off window.

In all honesty I haven't rode it since I installed. But it does fill in the gap a bit with the outer flap you could use the foam like goes around an window air unit to seal. It did bring cabin noise down inside just ridding it around the house. I am planning in ridding this weekend if at all possible you can ask again hopefully I can give an answer

The manufacturer's product description says "Warning: This cable has been designed for the sole purpose of preventing metal and rigid plastic water filled lines from freezing. DO NOT use this product on fuel lines, drain lines, hoses or buried pipes. Fiberglass pipe wrap is required to complete the installation."

The directs say the following, " It is recommended that spray-foam insulation be used to cover all tank heaters after installation. ....... other types of insulation may be used as long as edges are securely taped to keep out moisture."

It is wrapped in polyurethane. It doesn't need to be insulated. You tube has videos on how to install it yourself!

This insulation should be installed with spray adhesive that is heat resistant. I purchased it at AutoZone. The fabric side is the side that is to be glued to the surface. The aluminum side is the side that faces any and all heat sources. Remember the spray adhesive that you utilize has to be heat resistant.

I am unsure of your question. Do you plan on removing the old fiberglass and blown in and worried about the slight residue of those product? If that is the case I would say YES. If you plan on going over top of fiberglass or blown in. NO don't do it. The foam would spray over and add R value. I would have a major concern with the dew point being located in the non foam product and moisture being trapped . Mold and Rot would follow.. Hope this helps

I cut away at the insulation and made box out of cardboard which I held in place at the stud with staples. I'm not too worried about heat because I'm using LED bulbs instead of the halogens. Hope this helps.

I had no issue with foam install. I kept the noted 1 inch distance between any cut outs

I'd install some type of insulation.....because you will hear noise on these. Not terrible at all, though.

I used rigid foam insulation that comes in a 4x8 sheet... I cut notches in it to keep the pieces together (I couldn't get the whole sheet in my car) and added some extras along the long edge to make it deep enough. It was a 3/4 inch thick sheet

I have used plexiglass (from local home improvement store...sometimes they will give you pieces leftover from a big cut for free) in place of the accordion thing. It is much prettier and gives you light. On one front window, I have even put Glad Press n seal wrap on the plexi to make it look "frosted" for privacy. I just use clear tape to hold it on and keep bugs out from the edges. Neither are very safe from break ins, btw. Just an idea if your accordion is too short or damaged.

YES!! But you may want to foam wrap & paint everything after the installation, to protect it from the weather/elements.

I used this product successfully on a water hose to my camper during freezing temps. I did not wind it around the hose but laid it flat against the hose using foam insulation. If you go to the website there is a detailed explaintion of how to use this product in different situations and the warranty info. I would double the length at a minimum if I intented to wrap the pipe, but it would depend on the circumfernce of the pipe. Hope this helps.
