Abstract
A pipe insulation coupling for supporting a pipe and for coupling adjacent ends of pipe insulation tubing is disclosed. The pipe insulation coupling comprises an outer tube wall, a planar interior wall and a sealing mechanism. The outer tube wall extends along a longitudinal axis. The outer tube wall is split longitudinally from a first end thereof to a second end thereof to define a first body portion and a second body portion. The planar interior wall extends inwardly from the outer tube wall transverse to the longitudinal axis. The planar interior wall includes a center bore for receiving the pipe. The planar interior wall provides an abutment for the adjacent ends of the pipe insulation tubing. The sealing mechanism extends longitudinally between the first and second ends of the outer tube wall for securing the first and second body portions together.
