Patent ID: 8555574

Claim:
An insulation system for insulating piping contained in a ceiling structure having a plurality of adjacent framing members supporting interior sheathing on a lower surface thereof and at least one pipe on an upper surface thereof, said plurality of adjacent framing members and interior sheathing forming a space therebetween, said space having a warm side adjacent said interior sheathing the insulation system comprising: at least one rigid insulation block having a proximal end, a distal end and front and rear surfaces extending along a length of said insulation block between said proximal and distal ends said length corresponding to a spacing between said plurality of adjacent framing members; a cavity formed within said insulation block spaced at a distance from said front surface corresponding to a height of said plurality of adjacent framing members and extending along the length of said block from said proximal end to said distal end; and a wedge shaped slot having a wider opening at said front surface and extending to a narrower opening at said cavity, wherein said cavity receives said at least one pipe therein such that a portion of said at least one pipe is exposed adjacent said front surface of said insulation block, wherein heat passing through said ceiling structure is focused through said slot onto said at least one pipe.
