(OP)
When people specify aluminum jacketing and insulation for outside refrig or chilled water piping, what is the insulation underneath. Is it better to use like a foamed plastic Rubatex or urethane Armacell? They are not just stuffing fiberglass wrap and then putting aluminum around it are they? What is the best insulation for piping outdoors?
Thanks

The aluminum jacket will keep it from UV damage, make it last even longer.
My experience and opinion only -- let's see what the others have to say.

There are also aluminum-jacketed fiberglass systems.

DX can use a armaflex design with latex paint or jacket to minimize UV degradation.

Of course, PVC, Aluminum or even stainless steel jackets as indicated above are the norm.
