K-flex 09-028 Pipe Insulation 9mm Wall Thickness 28mm Inner Diameter

K-flex 09-028 is a professional-grade flexible elastomeric foam pipe insulation engineered for superior thermal management in heating, plumbing, and air conditioning systems. With a 9mm wall thickness and a 28mm inner diameter, this insulation effectively minimizes heat loss and prevents condensation buildup on pipe surfaces. Its robust material composition ensures long-term durability and consistent performance in both residential and commercial environments.

Advantages

The primary benefit of using K-flex 09-028 is its exceptional thermal efficiency, characterized by a low thermal conductivity coefficient of 0.037 W/(m·K). The flexible nature of the elastomeric foam allows for quick and seamless installation around bends and fittings, significantly reducing labor time. Furthermore, the material is designed to maintain its structural integrity across a wide temperature range, providing reliable protection against energy waste and moisture-related issues such as corrosion or mold growth.

Suitable for

• Heating system pipework
• Plumbing and water supply lines
• Air conditioning and refrigeration piping
• Residential and commercial HVAC installations

When it may not be suitable

This product is not designed for outdoor environments exposed to direct, prolonged UV radiation without additional protective cladding. It is also not suitable for applications where the operating temperature exceeds 110°C or falls below -165°C.

Key specifications

• Material: Flexible elastomeric foam
• Wall thickness: 9 mm
• Inner diameter: 28 mm
• Length: 2 m
• Thermal conductivity: 0.037 W/(m·K)
• Operating temperature range: -165°C to +110°C

How to use

To install the K-flex 09-028 insulation, measure the length of the pipe section and cut the insulation material accordingly using a sharp knife. If the pipe is already installed, slit the insulation longitudinally, place it around the pipe, and seal the seam using a compatible adhesive or specialized insulation tape to ensure a vapor-tight fit. Ensure that all joints and terminations are properly sealed to prevent thermal bridging and condensation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the outer diameter of your pipes to ensure a snug fit with the 28mm inner diameter.
• Calculate the total length required, keeping in mind that each unit is 2 meters long.
• Check if additional adhesive or tape is needed for your specific installation requirements.

Usage recommendations

For optimal thermal performance, ensure that all seams are fully bonded with K-flex adhesive. Avoid stretching the material during installation to maintain the specified wall thickness and insulation properties.
