K-flex 13-028 Pipe Insulation, 13mm Thickness, 28mm Diameter

The K-flex 13-028 pipe insulation is a professional-grade thermal solution engineered for pipes with a 28mm outer diameter. Manufactured from high-quality flexible elastomeric foam, this insulation provides a reliable barrier against thermal transfer, effectively minimizing heat loss in heating systems and preventing condensation buildup in cooling and plumbing installations. Its robust composition ensures consistent performance across a wide range of operating temperatures, making it a versatile choice for both residential and commercial infrastructure.

Advantages

This insulation material offers exceptional flexibility, allowing for quick and seamless installation even in confined spaces or around complex pipe bends. The closed-cell structure of the elastomeric foam provides superior resistance to moisture absorption, which is critical for maintaining the integrity of the insulation over time and preventing pipe corrosion. By improving the thermal efficiency of piping systems, it helps reduce energy consumption and operational costs while providing a durable protective layer that withstands demanding environmental conditions.

Suitable for

• Heating and hot water distribution systems
• Cold water plumbing to prevent condensation
• Air conditioning and refrigeration piping
• Residential and commercial building maintenance

When it may not be suitable

This product is not designed 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-temperature industrial steam lines that exceed the maximum operating temperature limit of 110°C.

Key specifications

• Material: Flexible elastomeric foam
• Inner diameter: 28 mm
• Wall thickness: 13 mm
• Length: 2 m
• Operating temperature range: -165°C to +110°C
• Thermal conductivity: 0.04 W/(m·K)

How to use

To install the K-flex 13-028 insulation, measure the length of the pipe section and cut the insulation material to the required size using a sharp knife. If the insulation is not pre-slit, cut it longitudinally along one side. Apply a suitable adhesive to the seams to ensure a tight, airtight seal. Slide the insulation over the pipe, ensuring that all joints are securely bonded to prevent thermal bridging. For optimal results, ensure the pipe surface is clean and dry before application.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the outer diameter of your pipes to ensure a snug fit
• Calculate the total length of piping to determine the number of 2-meter sections required
• Assess the environmental conditions to ensure the temperature range is appropriate for your system

Usage recommendations

For the best thermal performance, ensure that all joints and seams are fully sealed with compatible adhesive or tape. Avoid stretching the material during installation to maintain its specified thickness and insulating properties.
