Can aluminum foil tape seal the gas water heater smoke pipe？

Gas water heaters are very important for daily washing, and how to seal and install gas water heater flue pipes is also very important. Aluminum foil tape is a very practical tape, which is mostly used in heat preservation and temperature resistance industries. We have Alu Glass Tape, Aluminum Foil Adhesive Tape, FSK Aluminum Foil Tape and other products for your choice.

 

 

How to seal gas water heater flue pipe

The pipe sealing is actually very simple, just wrap the outside of the pipe with aluminum foil tape. Aluminum foil tape is resistant to high temperature, high viscosity, good sealing and anti-aging. It is available in hardware stores in the general community.

 

Special aluminum foil tape should be used to seal between the hole on the range hood and the aluminum foil tube of the smoke guide. Do not use plastic tape because it has a short service life and is of little value.

 

The correct installation method of gas water heater flue pipe

1. When installing the smoke pipe, the stainless steel smoke pipe and elbow provided with the machine must be used.

 

2. When the smoke pipe needs to be lengthened, stainless steel smoke pipes or other metal smoke pipes with corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance and flame resistance no less than stainless steel should be used first. When there is no such smoke pipe, the high-quality aluminum foil smoke pipe can be used for lengthening, but the elbow directly connected with the smoke outlet of the machine must be equipped with the elbow. It is never allowed to use the aluminum foil smoke pipe directly with the smoke outlet of the machine connection.

 

3. The outdoor part of the smoke pipe must use the stainless steel smoke pipe provided with the machine, and it is never allowed to use the aluminum foil smoke pipe to directly extend outside.

 

4. The smoke exhaust pipe should be more than 50mm away from the ceiling without heat insulation.

 

5. The connection of the smoke exhaust pipe must be sealed with aluminum foil tape, and the sealing is tight to prevent the leakage of smoke.

 

6. The glass openings and wall holes after the smoke pipe extends outside must be sealed, and the outward smoke pipe should be inclined downward 3°-5°. The gap between the smoke pipe and the glass or wall must be sealed to prevent Rainwater backflow, exhaust gas backflow. All service personnel perform installations in accordance with the requirements, otherwise the headquarters will assess outlets in accordance with installation irregularities, and take measures such as suspension of work and freezing of costs for outlets with serious violations.

 

7. The elbow uses a random stainless steel elbow; the tail pipe uses a random stainless steel smoke pipe to extend outside through the wall; the extension part uses an aluminum foil smoke pipe; the connection is sealed with aluminum foil tape; the distance between the smoke pipe and the ceiling should be greater than 50mm.

 

Aluminum foil tape is a special kind of tape, which has the function of heat preservation and electromagnetic shielding. It can be used with all aluminum foil composite materials for seam bonding, sealing of puncture points of thermal insulation nails, and repair of damaged parts. It is a new type of external anti-corrosion protection material with high self-adhesive anti-ultraviolet ability.

 

Types

There are many types of aluminum foil tape, which can be subdivided into paper-lined aluminum foil tape, paper-lined aluminum foil tape (common and common aluminum foil tape), reinforced aluminum foil tape, aluminum foil butyl tape, flame retardant aluminum foil tape, black painted aluminum foil tape, glass fiber cloth aluminum foil tape.

 

Aluminum foil tape with backing paper

Aluminum foil tape with backing paper is actually similar to tape without backing paper, except that there is an extra layer of backing paper in the middle. Electronic products such as tablet pc, mobile phones and sublimation printer are also used where electromagnetic shielding is required.

 

Aluminum foil tape without backing paper

Unlined aluminum foil tape is our commonly used and common aluminum foil tape. The main material is basically made of pure aluminum. The base material is smooth and bright, the texture is relatively soft, and the adhesive force is high! In daily life, we can use it for sealing pipes, waterproofing stoves or repairing pots and pans. If there is no aluminum foil tape, the slate tile for table is easy to have water

 

Reinforced aluminum foil tape

Single-sided reinforced aluminum foil tape is a composite material with glass fiber yarn reinforced between aluminum foil and kraft paper. It is more beautiful and durable, and the price is also low.

 

Aluminum foil butyl tape

Aluminum foil butyl tape is a blend of aluminum foil, butyl rubber and polyisobutylene. It is resistant to high and low temperature, wear-resistant and waterproof, and is mainly used for waterproofing cracks in outdoor balconies, roofs, glass, color steel tiles, pipes, etc.

 

Glass fiber cloth aluminum foil tape

The glass fiber cloth aluminum foil tape is made of aluminum foil and glass fiber cloth through an adhesive compound, which makes the glass fiber cloth aluminum foil tape better in tensile strength and more suitable for wrapping and repairing pure aluminium downlight light bulb.

 

Black lacquered aluminum foil tape

There is a layer of black or matte on the outside of the black-painted aluminum foil. It is not used much in daily life, mainly for wrapping ventilation pipes in subway stations and underground shopping malls. It has the advantages of light absorption, sound absorption, and beauty.

 

Flame-retardant aluminum foil tape

The flame-retardant aluminum foil tape is composited with pure aluminum foil as the base material and good performance silicone release paper as the backing paper. It is mainly used to block heat and fire sources, and is suitable for wall, steel structure heat preservation, and heat preservation of cars and train cars!

 

 

Precautions for the use of aluminum foil tape

 

1. Before using the aluminum foil tape, clean the part of the substrate that needs to be used. To remove floating dust and stains, use a dry cloth or dry brush to clean up.

 

2. The aluminum foil tape uses high-quality pressure-sensitive adhesive, which is very sticky, so it is necessary to determine the location that needs to be connected. After the adhesive is pasted, press the aluminum foil tape repeatedly with your fingers several times to make the adhesive layer fully play its role and the bonding is fast enough.

 

What is the function of the aluminum foil tape of the air conditioner?

Sealing and fixing.

 

The main applications are: the evaporator pipe is pasted with aluminum foil tape to avoid the foaming material from enclosing the pipe, affecting the cold transfer, and also avoiding the foaming material to corrode the pipe.

 

• The pipes inside the box are fixed to avoid the deformation and displacement of the pipes caused by the extrusion of the foaming material during foaming.

 

• After the gaps in the partitions of the air-cooled refrigerator are pasted, avoid air leakage and cause other failures.

 

• Fix some wires and components

 

• In addition, if the fiber stripper or plastic drinker with legs is broken, the aluminum foil tape with strong viscosity will fix it.

Can aluminum foil tape seal water pipes?

 

It is possible. Because the tape for sealing water pipes must meet the requirements of waterproof and corrosion resistance, the requirements of strong viscosity are almost the same. The aluminum foil tape has good initial adhesion, strong stickiness, waterproof and corrosion resistance.

 

What is the difference between glass fiber aluminum foil cloth tape and aluminum foil tape?

The glass fiber aluminum foil cloth tape adopts a unique advanced compounding process and a special adhesive compound to form a dense film, which is compounded with aluminum foil. The surface is smooth, the light reflectivity is high, the vertical and horizontal tensile strength is high, airtight, watertight, and good sealing performance. .

 

Glass fiber aluminum foil cloth is suitable for moisture-proof, anti-mildew and anti-corrosion packaging materials for export equipment. At the same time, aluminum foil cloth is also used for the protective wrapping of petroleum transportation pipelines, steam pipelines and other chemical equipment, playing the role of flame retardant, anticorrosion and heat insulation.

 

Aluminum foil tape, using high-quality pressure-sensitive adhesive, has good adhesion, strong adhesion, and anti-aging effects. The heat preservation performance is greatly improved. Aluminum foil tape is used to repair the seals and breakages punctured on the surface of the object. It is the main raw and auxiliary material for refrigerators and freezers production plants.
