FAQs

What is the thermal conductivity of this insulation?

The thermal conductivity is 0.038 W/mK at 40 °C, 0.036 W/mK at 20 °C, and 0.034 W/mK at 0 °C.

How much heat loss does this product reduce?

It can reduce heat loss from distributors in plumbing and heating installations by up to 80%.

Can this insulation be used for all types of pipes?

It is suitable for heating pipes and hot & cold water pipes. It is not designed for flooring pipes.

What is the thickness of the insulation?

The insulation thickness for this specific variant is 9mm.

How is the insulation installed?

It comes pre-slit for easy installation and is highly flexible, allowing it to be easily wrapped around pipes and secured.

What are the dimensions of each piece?

Each piece of insulation is 2 meters long.

Does this product help reduce noise?

Yes, the polyethylene foam has sound-absorbing properties that help reduce pop and flow noises in pipes.

Troubleshooting

Insulation does not fit snugly

Verify the pipe diameter is exactly 76mm. Ensure the slit is fully closed and secured with tape or adhesive for a tight seal.

Heat loss still seems significant

Check that all seams and joints are properly sealed. Ensure there are no gaps or uninsulated sections, especially at fittings and bends. Confirm the insulation thickness is appropriate for the temperature requirements.

Noise reduction is minimal

Ensure the insulation is installed without any tension that could create contact points with the pipe. A proper fit allows the foam to absorb vibrations effectively.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Substantial reduction in heat loss, saving energy costs.
  • Contributes to a quieter environment by dampening pipe noise.
  • Flexible and slit design makes installation quick and easy.
  • Durable polyethylene foam provides long-term insulation performance.
  • Environmentally beneficial due to increased efficiency.

Cons

  • Specific 76mm diameter limits application to pipes of that size.
  • Not suitable for flooring pipe applications.
  • Requires careful measurement to ensure proper fit for maximum efficiency.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure the outer diameter of the pipe to confirm it is 76mm.
  2. Ensure the pipe surface is clean and dry.
  3. Slide the pre-slit insulation onto the pipe, or wrap it around if using a fully open slit.
  4. Secure the insulation using appropriate pipe insulation tape or adhesive, ensuring a continuous seal along the slit and at any joints.

Compatibility:

  • Primarily designed for heating pipes and hot & cold water supply pipes.
  • Not suitable for underfloor heating pipes.
  • Ensure the pipe diameter is precisely 76mm for optimal performance.

Care:

  • This product is maintenance-free under normal operating conditions.
  • Clean with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Protect from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not installed to preserve material integrity.
