K-flex 13-022 Pipe Insulation, 13 mm Thickness, 22 mm Diameter

The K-flex 13-022 pipe insulation is a professional-grade thermal solution engineered for efficient temperature management in various piping networks. With a wall thickness of 13 mm and an inner diameter of 22 mm, this flexible elastomeric foam product is specifically designed to minimize heat loss in heating systems and prevent condensation buildup in plumbing and air conditioning installations. Its robust construction ensures long-term durability and consistent performance across a wide range of operating temperatures.

Advantages

This insulation material offers exceptional thermal efficiency due to its low thermal conductivity, which helps maintain the desired temperature of the fluid within the pipes. The flexible nature of the elastomeric foam allows for quick and straightforward installation, even in confined spaces or around complex pipe bends. By effectively controlling condensation, it protects pipe surfaces from corrosion and moisture damage, thereby extending the service life of the entire plumbing or HVAC system.

Suitable for

• Heating system pipework
• Domestic and commercial plumbing
• Air conditioning and refrigeration lines
• Preventing thermal bridging in pipe supports

This product may not be suitable for outdoor applications where it will be directly exposed to intense UV radiation or harsh weather conditions without additional protective cladding. It is also not intended for use in high-pressure steam lines that exceed the maximum operating temperature limit of 110°C.

Key specifications

• Material: Flexible elastomeric foam
• Thickness: 13 mm
• Inner diameter: 22 mm
• Length per unit: 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 13-022 insulation, ensure the pipe surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Measure the required length and cut the insulation tube using a sharp knife. If the pipe is already installed, slit the insulation longitudinally, wrap it around the pipe, and seal the seam using appropriate adhesive or tape recommended for elastomeric materials. Ensure all joints are tightly sealed to prevent air gaps where condensation could form.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the outer diameter of your pipes matches the 22 mm inner diameter of the insulation.
• Calculate the total length of pipework to ensure sufficient quantity is ordered.
• Check if additional adhesive or specialized sealing tape is required for your specific installation.

Usage recommendations: For optimal thermal performance, ensure all seams are fully bonded and that the insulation fits snugly against the pipe surface without stretching or compressing the material excessively.
