Abstract: An insulation system has an insulation. A metal jacket is disposed about the insulation. The metal jacket has opposing free ends. A circumferential retaining band is disposed about the metal jacket and has a longitudinal length substantially less than a corresponding length of the metal jacket. The circumferential retaining band has a coupler joining a first end of the circumferential retaining band to an opposing second end of the circumferential retaining band and a clip spaced from the coupler along a radially inner surface of the retaining band. The clip is adapted to secure the opposing free ends of the metal jacket.

Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a fire barrier insulation blanket (5) having a first sheet of insulation material (10) and a second sheet of thermal reflective material (20) joined together to form a fire and thermal barrier (50). The barrier (50) is encapsulated by two wire mesh sheets (30,40). One mesh sheet (40) is corrugated to space the barrier (50) from the surface being insulated (100). The insulation (5) is stitched together along longitudinal edges (5a,5b) by a stainless steel thread (60). Two blankets (7,8) can be joined together along longitudinal ends (7a,7b,8a,8b) by hog rings (65).
