6. Mistakes to avoid

6.1 Don't neglect good practice when insulating a system

In addition, ensure vapour tightness on cold networks to avoid condensation and corrosion under the insulation.

Don't forget to insulate accessories (valves, filters, pumps), which are major sources of heat loss, and avoid installing mechanical protection unsuited to the environment (risk of rapid deterioration).

Avoid creating thermal bridges (insulation discontinuity, uninsulated metal fasteners).

Don't forget to insulate the driving part of electrical equipment.
