Recommendation for external sticky tape that "sticks like ( a sticky thing)

[Marvin]

Hi

 

Has anybody any recommendations for an external sticky tape to fix to further lagging to external ASHP pipes?

 

the only ones I have used doesn't "stick like the aforementioned" but is "the aforementioned"

 

In full sun in summer.

 

Thanks

If you've any left over external airtight tape that's incredibly sticky and durable. Not exactly sure what you're trying to do. If it's fixing lagging to pipes can you use cable ties? They'll be still there long after we've all passed.

We use the Orange Jaffa Tape for taping sheet up for render 

It’s the only one that seems to stay on

If it’s for wrapping around split insulation in bands then I always use ordinary electrical insulating tape, also makes really good plasters for holding bits of fingers and thumbs together

Self almagamating tape, wrap the whole run of insulation, or the wasps and mice will eat it.

Which insulation are you planning on using as most of the standard ones are not UV stable for external use. The only guaranteed ones are foil wrapped semi rigid fibre, and Armaflex HT Solar, or Armaflex Tuffcoat (or similar) Nothing else has UV stability. You can buy coatings but they are usually £60-70 a tub and used on process pipework.

Thanks everyone.

I already have a good coat of insulation.  

I think that I will use some of the offcut edpm from the flat roof and cable ties as I may need access later. 

 

Thanks @Russell griffiths Never heard of self amalgamating tape before. Looked it up - definetly going  play with some of that!

 

Oh another day, and another thing I didn't know I didn't know. ?

@Marvin

you could try Gorilla tape. I’ve used it for an external repair and it’s lasted 3 or 4 years so far without failing.

I have used the clear version of that on my polythene greenhouse just over 2.5yrs ago and it's still stuck solid now.
