FAQs
What pipe diameter is this insulation designed for?
This insulation is designed for pipes with a 15mm bore size.
Does this insulation meet safety regulations?
Yes, it meets Bylaw 49 requirements, ensuring water safety and preventing pathogen growth.
How much heat loss does this insulation prevent?
The thick, condensed foam cuts heat loss by over 75%.
Can I install this myself?
Yes, the insulation is designed for easy installation and can be cut to size with basic tools.
What is the total thickness of the insulation?
The total thickness of the insulation is 25mm.
How long is each piece of insulation?
Each piece of insulation is 1 meter in length.
What is the benefit of the thicker wall?
The thicker wall provides low thermal conductivity, enhancing its insulating performance.
Troubleshooting
Insulation is too tight to fit over the pipe.
Carefully cut the insulation tube lengthwise and then slide it over the pipe. Re-seal the cut seam with appropriate adhesive tape.
Freezing still occurs after installation.
Ensure the insulation is installed correctly with no gaps, especially at joints and where pipes enter walls. Check if the pipe diameter matches the 15mm bore size of the insulation. Consider adding a second layer for extreme conditions.
Material is difficult to cut cleanly.
Use a sharp utility knife or a fine-toothed saw for clean cuts. Ensure the blade is sharp for best results.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Meets important Bylaw 49 safety standards.
- Significantly reduces heat loss, leading to energy savings.
- Protects pipes from freezing and potential damage.
- Environmentally friendly by improving home energy efficiency.
- Easy to cut and install on existing pipework.
- Helps to insulate against cold draughts.
Cons
- Specific 15mm bore size limits compatibility to pipes of that diameter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the pipe to be insulated is clean and dry.
- Measure the length of pipe requiring insulation.
- Cut the 1m insulation tube to the required length using a sharp knife or saw.
- Slide the insulation tube over the water pipe. If the pipe is already installed, you may need to cut the tube lengthwise and re-seal it using appropriate tape (not included).
- Ensure a snug fit around the pipe and at any joints.
Compatibility:
- This product is specifically designed for pipes with a 15mm bore size. The 25mm total thickness is a key feature for its insulating properties.
- It is suitable for use with standard water supply pipes.
Care:
- The insulation is made of closed-cell foam and requires minimal care.
- Clean any accumulated dust or dirt with a damp cloth.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals, which can degrade the material over time.
