Product Information

Full details

The AF/Armaflex Evo Nitrile Pipe Insulation is an ideal choice for professional HVAC installers and building managers looking to protect pipes against thermal loss and condensation. Its key strength lies in the combination of a highly flexible closed-cell foam structure and built-in Microban antimicrobial protection, which ensures longevity and hygiene in high-moisture environments. While the pre-slit design allows for rapid installation on existing piping, users should note that careful measurement is required to ensure a snug fit for optimal condensation prevention.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this be used outdoors?

While the material is durable, it is primarily designed for interior use. If exposed to direct UV radiation, a protective coating or UV-resistant cladding is recommended.

Is this product safe for drinking water lines?

Yes, it is suitable for both hot and cold water services, provided the temperature limits of the material are respected.

Does the insulation include adhesive?

No, the slit is designed for easy installation, but you should use a manufacturer-recommended adhesive for sealing seams.

What is the wall thickness of this specific model?

This variant has a wall thickness of 19mm, providing excellent thermal insulation for 22mm diameter pipes.

Can I paint over the insulation?

Yes, it can be painted with most water-based acrylic paints if required for aesthetic or identification purposes.

Does it contain any CFCs or HCFCs?

No, AF/Armaflex Evo is manufactured to be environmentally friendly and is free from CFC and HCFC blowing agents.

Troubleshooting

Condensation forming on the surface of the insulation

Check that the longitudinal slit is fully sealed and that there are no gaps at the pipe joints; use compatible adhesive to close any openings.

Insulation feels loose on the pipe

Verify the outer diameter of the pipe. If the pipe is smaller than 22mm, the insulation will not provide a tight seal, potentially leading to air gaps.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Quick and easy to install due to the pre-slit design
  • Excellent resistance to moisture and condensation
  • Inhibited microbial growth protects pipe surfaces
  • High flexibility allows for maneuvering around tight pipe bends
  • Safe to handle as it contains no dust or mineral fibers

Cons

  • Requires precise measurement for the 22mm diameter fit
  • Less durable against physical impact compared to rigid pipe covers
  • Adhesive for sealing the slit is often required but sold separately

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, simply open the pre-slit section and wrap it around the 22mm pipe. For joints, it is recommended to apply a compatible insulation adhesive to ensure a continuous seal, which is the most effective way to prevent thermal bridging.

  • Compatibility: Designed specifically for 22mm outside diameter piping.
  • Storage: Store in a clean, dry area away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the rubber foam.
  • Maintenance: Periodically inspect the longitudinal seams to ensure no gaps have developed. If dirt accumulates, the exterior surface can be wiped down with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemical cleaners that may degrade the material.
