    Default High temperature flue tape

    Wondering if anyone has tried using high temperature flue tape (aluminum I guess) to wrap around a ceramic blanket to protect
    rafters too close to a hot stack pipe? If not, how is a good way to attach
    a ceramic blanket to slippery ss stack pipe?

    I made a SS outer sleeve in light ga SS. It clamps around the insulation to hold it in place and I have 2 supports to anchor it up in place. It is not tight so as to squeeze the insulation tight. At the lower edge I cut a slit every inch at 1" deep, then each was folded in toward the inner pipe to create a finished edge, that is about 12" below the bottom cord of the adjacent trusses ("ceiling joists").
    I would not trust any adhesive tape of any sort to hold the insulation in place.
    Dave Klish, I recently ordered a 2x6 wood fired evaporator from A&A Sheet Metal which I will be converting to oil fired
    Now have solar, 2x6 finish pan, 5 bank 7x7 filter press, large water jacketed bottler, and tankless water heater.
    Recently bought another Gingerich RO, this one was a 125, but a second membrane was added thus is a 250, like I had.
    After running a 2x3, a 2x6, 3x8 tapping from 79 taps up to 1320 all woodfired, now I'm going to a 2x6 oil fired and a 200-425 taps.
