Chiew:May I know what is the difference between normal piping (with black insulator) versus inaba piping (white insulator)? As can't find the info through Google search.

QUOTE(shawnsean @ Oct 10 2012, 09:51 PM) Inaba piping insulator is white color while the standard insulator is the black one. The black one is more like a sponge so after a few years it will become flaky and can be peeled off easily. Since its concealed and for own stay I paid more to get inaba piping. Apparently the copper is also thicker and stronger. One contractor showed me both inaba and normal and ask me to touch and bend it to feel the difference. I heard cases of old building where water was leaking from the concealed air cond piping into the electrical wiring and causing short circuit. Had to hack the wall to troubleshoot Thanks halcyon27 & shawnsean for this info sharing. True and agreed with you we should pay more to get Inaba piping insulator for long term. |
