This RIDGLOK® Vertical Standing Seam Panel Insulation System was installed for the National Guard Armory on a Fire Protection Tank used to hold water, located in Wheeling,WV. The storage tank was a 30 diameter x 27 and was a high flat bolted tank. The project was completed February 13, 2104.
The RIDGLOK® Vertical Standing Seam Panel Insulation System consisted of 0.024 stucco-embossed aluminum metal jacketing, in Mil Finish, laminated to 1.5” of polyisocyanurate insulation board. R-value of 10.5, using a radial roof system.
The RIDGLOK® Vertical Standing Seam Panel Insulation system is used for freeze protection in fire protection tank wet sprinkler systems. Fire protection water storage tanks that are in colder regions are required to have tank heaters and permitted to be insulated to CONSERVE energy per NFPA 22 codes section 16.1-16.5.
The panels can be applied to all types of tanks, including flat bolted, chimed bolted, glass lined, fiberglass, welded, stainless steel and concrete. The fire protection storage tank does not need to be taken out of service to install the insulation system. Insulating fire protection tanks with RIDGLOK® Vertical Standing Seam Insulation provides energy savings by reducing the amount of electricity needed to heat the storage tank.
