Installing the PDJ Dampening Jacket
If the pipe temperature is over 150°F, you must use the PDJ pipe 
dampening jacket with preapplied DMP-3. As the dampening 
material dries out over several hours after installation, its 
effectiveness increases. The jacket is available in standard pipe 
sizes from 4 to 12 in. (100 to 300 mm). 
1. Remove any insulation from the installation area, as well as 
any loose paint, rust and high spots from the pipe.
2. Remove the backing paper from the inside of the pipe 
dampening jacket (shown in Figure 3-33 below).

3. Install the jacket on the pipe as shown in Figure 3-34 below. 
Tighten the clamping screws so that some fluid drips from the 
bottom of the jacket.
